Andrew Yang in 6th Democratic Primary Debate

On Budget & Economy: People have jobs, but many need two or more to get by

On Civil Rights: Fix racial disparity with MLK's idea of a guaranteed income

Yang: It's both an honor and disappointment to be the lone candidate of color on the stage tonight. I grew up the son of immigrants and I had many racial epithets used against me as a kid, but 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% that of a white household. For Latinos, it's 12%. Why am I the lone candidate of color on this stage? Fewer than 5% of Americans donate to political campaigns. You know what you need to donate to political campaigns? Disposable income. The way we fix it, is we take Mart

On Energy & Oil: Supports next-generation thorium reactors

On Families & Children: Money and men are tied together: we are a misogynist society

Yang: Our country is deeply misogynist and most all of us know that. Money and men are tied together. The fact is, strong societies would elect more female leaders. Strong men treat women well for the same reasons. I'm on the record saying that you need both strong men and female leaders in government because the fact is if you get too many men alone and leave us alone for a while, we kind of become morons. The fact is we operate in a fundamentally anti-woman marketplace, and that includes the marketplace for politicians. [With] democracy dollars, many, many more women who would run for office because they don't have to go shake the money tree.

On Families & Children: New normal is families with special needs or autism

Yang: I have a son with special needs, and to me, special needs is the new normal in this country. The fact is right now we have to do more. Special needs children are going to become special needs adults in many cases. And here's the challenge. We go to employers and say, "Hey, this special needs person can be a contributor in your Workplace," [but even if not], we have to stop confusing economic value in human value. We have to be able to say to our kids that you have intrinsic value because you are an American and you are a human being. A freedom dividend of $1,000 a month, in everyone's hands, is going to help families and take this burden off of the communities and off of the schools who do not have the resources to support kids like my son and make it a federal priority, not a local one.

On Technology: Press misrepresents how Trump got elected

Yang: It's clear why Americans can't agree on impeachment. We're getting our news from different sources, and it's making it hard for us even to agree on basic facts. Americans don't trust the media networks to tell them the truth. If you turn on cable network news today, you would think Donald Trump's our president because of some combination of Russia, racism, Facebook, Hillary Clinton, and e-mails all mixed together. What we have to do is we have to stop being obsessed over impeachment, which unfortunately strikes many Americans like a ballgame where you know what the score is going to be, and start actually digging in and solving the problems that got Donald Trump elected in the first place. We have to take every opportunity to present a new positive vision for the country, a new way forward to help beat him in 2020, because make no mistake, he'll be there at the ballot box for us to defeat.
