talking about that he's talked about you know freedom from substance abuse and

depression and and mental health things that other candidates are talking about

appeal to people from all over the political spectrum technology near New

New York a lot of people there's a lot of Technology in the Yang Gang if you have

answer Washington Square Park humanity first rally saw Andrew Yang and it was

awesome a really good time and Ching interviewed me as she's like she's doing

right now and nothing's changed I'm back yeah I'm more Yang Gang than ever I watch

all the videos I tuned into many rallies livestreams as possible

like you know, shout out to grassroots hashtag Yang Gang I got to actually meet

them at the Basic Income March that was another one. Show Me the Money! Show Me

the Money! Show Me the Money! Were you come from today? Connecticut Connecticut

I'm living off the West Side of New York City so I just keep coming keep coming

to campus and get the word out and I gang out I got my gear and everything so

this is about our country and this is about a new way forward I saw that ad

that TV ad it blew me away it makes me hopeful it makes me optimistic that we

can have a better future for ourselves for our posterity save our democracy and

save capitalism by reforming it a human focused capitalism so we have

measurements on what matters to us like what really got me supporting Andrew

Yang is the fact that he's focused on mental health like he has a section

where he says I'm gonna invest in America's mental health and I was like

wow where you been because we definitely need that I have

to confess it like I suffer from depression. Okay, me too. Really? are

you serious? This really lifts my spirit. Yes, same here. You're not alone

I'm thinking talking to my psychiatrist, and I say that can I like not

taking the goddamn pills you know. I don't know. So this is like

every weekend, during the week I'm pretty busy, every weekend I always

look for something (for Andrew Yang) to do. I don't need people to tell me what to do anymore

Do you know Andrew Yang? He's running for the president for 2020

Wow! Cousy McDonald and you made it! That's awesome. What is the material how

do you make it so large? Yang Gang! so that's why I'm so excited, the first campaign I've

ever donated to, the first campaign I've ever followed as closely as I am this

one and I just tried to yang everybody I meet, getting the family, yang friends on

Facebook. I'm on Twitter you know, so I do it as much as I can. Well how did you

first hear about Andrew Yang? Okay, first of all, I am at Bubba Gump

my favorite restaurant in Times Square. Well I never was politically really

sensitive. I mean I like you watched stuff (on TV). I remember watching Bill Clinton

was being elected or the whole process debates stuff like that. So because I came

from China I grew up in China we don't have election. So I was so excited to

see, like so called freedom,

so called

this people have rights to vote.

This time with Andrew Yang it was because my college friend Cao Di. She said I'm

coming to New York. She's from Boston. she said I'm coming to New York I'm

going to go to the May 14, and there's a rally in Washington Square. I said Okay if

you come if you go I'll go with you. I had no idea who Andrea Yang was. So but

the funny thing was she was too busy, she didn't come. So I went anyway

because I cancelled all my students, so I planned to go. So I went and that's how

I met you Nick! otherwise I would not meet you.

That's fate. So I went, and I went really

early. I would I remember I've got there four o'clock with all my gears.

"Can I ask you some questions? You all look so young. Are you student." Yeah. "Where? may I?"

Here in the city.

"So you are involved with this thing just for today or for?"

We are all work at HQ (Andrew Yang head quarter).

I try to get on the podium where the media you know I am with the Juhl Media

that's my sort of company, independent

company, and then all the other people having like really fancy cameras, I was

holding the iPhone with the skinny tripod. You, go away! They throw me away. Fuck you! I went to the very

first row of the podium (stage), and I stood there for ninety minutes

"Who is the actor who played Forest?"

It's not like I'm gonna give you money okay. I'm gonna give you fucking thousand dollars.

Okay? "What?" This is Andrew Yang. Have you heard about him?

"No". Can you vote? Say yes! We are Yang Gangs. Check him out. Andrew Yang is the

next president of America. "Yes, he is."

Check him out. "YouTube him, Google him." He's a light-skinned Obama. He is a yellow Obama.

So I went that rally without having much expectations without doing too much research, but I was really

I didn't even like Andrew Yang at the rally you know why, because I think he's

full of shit! "Oh, wow?" But then I turned around, I see you I see a lot of people

I was so moved by the people and they're not e ven Asian. They're not

yellow, there are all kinds of colors. "Exactly!" That's what, "To see of humanity"

Yeah really energized man so from there on, the next movement is June 4th

I actually spent money to attend a fundraising.

I put the camera really close to him. I would love to take questions since you know I'd love to

take advantage of this environment.

"Andrew, my name is Ching Juhl, I live in New York City."

"I am a videographer and photographer, if you need me please let me know." Thank you Ching.

"I have watched so many of your videos you know interviewed by this and that"

"and for the last two years actually I have watched and I think a lot of"

"questions are very boring. So I just want to ask you an interesting question."

"if you, this week have three ap pointments to have lunch or dinner"

"with person who are dead or alive who would you like to have lunch with three"

"person or dinner and why?" So because I'm a very efficient person, they would all

be alive and they would all help the campaign. So the question is who are the

three people I could meet with that would be the biggest needle movers of

the campaign the fastest. And so I'd like to take suggestions but the three that

pop into my mind are Elon Musk

Mark Zuckerberg, love him or hate him and either Oprah Winfrey or Ellen DeGeneres

I mean it's gonna be tough to win them over but I would love to I'm actually

when I'm in Los Angeles for Bill Maher this week I'm also meeting with one of

the big celebrity agencies the William Morris Endeavor agency and they're

inviting a bunch of their celebrity clients so I'm going to be meeting with

like the Hollywood stars and see how many of them I can win over so that's my

my list of three. That was one of my best videos I made. He talked about

his strategy to us, to only 20 people, so it's very intimate. It's not bullshit

at the rally, you know. So and then a fter that I start to follow him more.

I read his book. "Yes, me too." Because they gave us a book since I paid money

to enter. "The War on Normal People"

yeah and then I bought the tape the CDs. "Yes!" I listen to the CDs

when I'm doing housework and so that really bought me. I Yanged my

husband first. "Yeah!" I am doctor Juhl, New York volunteering with the Andrew Yang presidential

campaign. I was wondering if you had settled on support for any candidate in

the election. So I put the book in his bag on our vacation in early August.

He actually read it, he likes to read. He read the whole thing. He is a Yang Gang. "Yeah!"

so you're not you're not decided yet? On anybody? Ya ya, me either. But

I figure you know well my son says "well, he can't possibly win." and I said, well

Trump couldn't possibly win either

at this point and at this point I'm

looking for the best candidate. When I get to the general election I'm looking

for the least worst candidate.

So thanks for your time I appreciate it and the

book is called the war...

Okay! You have a good weekend, so long.

So I believe believing Andrew Yang is a process. "Yes" You don't believe somebody right

away you first is exposure to being exposed.

"There's stages of the Yang." Right! and then your new are researching or you

are influencing and then you are exposed again you see other people what they do

and then you say what can I do to help so my skill is media, video and I play

music to you so I actually played

electronic violin at his fundraising in Flushing. "Oh Wow!" I open the show.

"Nick, are you a TV personal or something? You are so good in front of the camera." "What is your profession?"

If you look at my resume, basically has jobs

that Andrew Yang says they're going to be automatable in the next couple of years

so, that was another thing too. I was like how can I not support this guy.

You know I'm trying to find a path forward for myself. In this campaign has really

helped tremendously, just giving me hope, even a glimmer of hope this year for sure.

"When did you hear about him first?" Okay, this was late February early

March. I saw an ad on Instagram I believe and I clicked on it was Andrew Yang for

president 2020. I was like let me read up on this guy and I saw the pictures. Okay.

and then I was like my sister shortly after was watching The Breakfast Club

interviewer heard about the breakfast nook and her son watched it together and

then I watched the Joe Rogan experience podcast and it just sealed the deal for

me I was like I need to get my yang gear now and there was a limited edition

shirt you know with Andrews face on it the fact that I was like I got to get

that and I got to get my math cap be ready for the rally and they so just a

few short months later you know he's gone from someone no one's ever heard of

you know fringe to you know being between what sixth fifth fourth and the

poles and climbing in some fools you know so it's just going to continue to

grow he's been at the debates he's already qualified for the November

debate and he's gonna make it to the December debate no problem. I'm excited

for that just the growth of the campaign and the new phase that it's entered

especially with this TV ads. It was actually made by the same team that did

Bernie Sanders ads in 2016. So that team is now team Yang Gang. So you know

and I just have loved what's going on in New Hampshire and Iowa, and I have been watching

the live feeds and all of the town halls he's doing. It's enthusiastic

just the excitement and then yesterday Andrew Yang made history being the first

Asian American presidential candidate to register to sign to be on the

New Hampshire ballot, primary ballot. "I watch that!" Yes, it was awesome.

He signed it a new way forward, and the fee was $1,000, the filing fee the $1,000

but it's like poetic justice because if that's one month that's one freedom

dividend check $1,000. So I think it's coming full circle and it's just gonna

continue to grow. "So what are we doing today?" Okay, we're gonna go canvassing in

Times Square and it's gonna be near NBC here you know the Broadway so there's

gonna be a lot of passers by. It's a cold night, but we're gonna really warm

it up with, you know, Yanging and canvassing and getting people excited

and informing people just getting the word out. That just like really warms me

up warms my heart really it does. I'm gonna meet new people

new Yang Gangers. "It's like 37 degrees outside." Ya. Thank you.

"Cheers! I'm s o happy. I feel like I'm a child. Like you know, in this"

"whole revolution, a movement" The child like Oh is back.

Who is American?

Who wants a thousand dollars a month?

You're frightening my friends.

"Is?" Ya, I'm wearing the pussy hat. Wow! It's like...

"Are you Chinese?" I am from Tuo Shang.

"Tuo Shang? Oh!" Where you from? "I am from Shanghai". So fancy!

She's from Shanghai. My family is from the dirty south.

"Did you tell me your name again?" Killiam, Killiam.

If you're not American don't eat at the Olive Garden. There is much better Italian

restaurants in New York.

If you are an American,

let me talk to you about Andrew Yang!

I feel like crap.

"Are you Americans?" Yes. "Hay! do you know"

"Andrew Young?" No. "You can have a sticker." "Are you a registered Democrat?"

Yes. "Yeah Andrew Yang! We are the Yang Gang." I have already choose my candidate. "Who?"

That's my personal business. "Secret! Secret!" Yes!

I think it's more than a promise. A thousand dollars a month for

every American over the age of 18, paid for with a value-added tax on the tech

company activity. So sounds like a win with me if you

think about Jeff Bezos not paying taxes at all on Amazon.

"He's addressing Andrew Yang." Yeah I'm Andrew's personal stylist, because I want a

thousand dollars a month. Do you hear me? What will you do it a thousand dollars a

month? What would you? Are you American? No, all right, your loss. Hey!

"What would you do with a thousand dollars a month? That's my question for you!" "Yeah for you!"

"Are you a registered Democrat? Are you?" Yes.

Show me what democracy looks like!

This is what democracy looks like! Show me what democracy looks like!

We are going to NBC!
