  • The Trump administration

  • is currently celebrating a coronavirus relief bill

  • that would send most Americans over $1,000 in cash.

  • Which is an idea that sounds necessary

  • and strangely familiar.

  • (ringing)

  • Andrew, what the (bleep)?

  • Yo, the Republicans stole your idea.

  • Uh, oh, it's not my idea,

  • and I'm thrilled that they're-they're doing it.

  • But, dude, this is your idea.

  • Literally your one idea.

  • You were running on this one thing, and they-they stole it.

  • Well, uh, you know, they-they're not gonna do it in perpetuity.

  • That would be my idea. (laughs)

  • If they-they put it in place

  • where we get it every month forever,

  • uh, then I would be up there, uh,

  • I hope, just clapping and cheerleading,

  • because all of this stuff's ve-very overdue.

  • Remember when you first started, and you were talking about UBI?

  • A lot of people called you crazy.

  • It's-it's a convoluted, cockamamie idea.

  • It's this move towards socialism.

  • "It's all gonna stink, you're gonna lose your job,

  • "you're not gonna have anything,

  • so we're gonna give you a big handout."

  • I mean, I don't know that that's gonna be inspiring

  • to a lot of Americans.

  • Do you think Americans just needed to be pushed to the brink

  • of death and economic collapse to realize

  • that, hey, maybe giving people $1,000 isn't a bad idea?

  • On my campaign, I was talking about how more and more of us

  • are going to get sent home because technology,

  • artificial intelligence, robots

  • are gonna do more and more of our jobs.

  • And now, we've all been sent home.

  • And we see that it's obvious that we have no way

  • to help people survive this crisis

  • but to put money directly into our hands.

  • Okay, but how much do you believe

  • that this coronavirus is caused by AI?

  • Is this the first step in their global domination?

  • AI had nothing to do with the coronavirus.

  • Just a coincidence? Just a coincidence now

  • that we depend on computers more than ever?

  • I'm talking to you on a computer.

  • I'm also looking at porn on a computer at the same time.

  • Because computers are great like that.

  • You can multitask.

  • Computers are definitely transforming our way of life

  • -in ways big and small. -(moaning on Chieng's computer)

  • Um, but this virus is a totally different phenomenon.

  • Sorry, Andrew. I didn't hear any of that.

  • I was multitasking.

  • So, how do you stop this administration

  • from (bleep) this idea up?

  • Well, we tell them just to keep it as simple as possible.

  • Money in our hands, regardless of who we are,

  • every month, until the crisis is over.

  • And then after the crisis is over, just keep going.

  • Just say, "You know what?

  • "Who knows? There could be

  • another crisis around the corner."

  • Do you think we should add an extra $500

  • for all Asians as a racial profiling rebate?

  • You know, just each of us gets maybe Venmo'd a few bucks

  • every time a politician uses the term "Chinese Virus."

  • I do not think so.

  • I think we should treat everyone the same, Ronny.

  • Right, got you.

  • Let's-let's talk about it in the chat after this.

  • (clears throat)

  • Uh, I guess the last thing I'm wondering is, uh,

  • when you look at what's happening out there,

  • do you think it's too late?

  • I wish we had acted before, Ronny, but it's not...

  • never too late to do the right thing.

  • We just need to start doing the right thing for our people.

  • What? No, I meant is it too late for you to get back in the race

  • to run for president as an Independent?

  • We need to defeat Donald Trump in the fall.

  • I'm dedicated to doing that, uh,

  • and helping the Democrats win in the fall.

  • Okay, got it.

  • So we solve coronavirus first,

  • and then vote for Andrew Yang as Independent

  • for president of the United states. Got it.

  • No, that's not right. We take care of our people,

  • we get money into our hands,

  • and we get Donald Trump out of there in the fall.

  • Whatever you say, President Yang.

  • Thanks, Ronny. Not at all what I said, but stay home.

  • Uh, sorry. Sorry. I can't hear you.

  • I got to... close this... window.

  • (chimes)
