 So I don't necessarily agree with all of Andrew Yang's policy positions But he is such an incredibly personable and nice guy that you can't not like him and at the gun sense form Basically, he did something that other more focus group driven rehearsed candidates would never do He actually demonstrated that he is capable of something that they are seemingly not Human emotion and this was a really touching moment that I wanted to share with you My beautiful four-year-old daughter Daila was struck by a stray bullet March 2011 My son my daughter's twin brother Witnessed what happened that day She died two days later Firearms are the second leading cause of death for children and teenagers in the US But 4.6 million American children live in homes with at least one gun that is loaded and unlocked and Hundreds of them gain access to a gun and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else every year as President how would you address unintentional shootings by children? Thank you for that. Can I give you a hug? Is that be appropriate? I have a six and three-year-old boy imagine I was imagining it was one of them. I got shot in the other side I'm so sorry The biggest downside running for president for me has been that I don't get to see my family very much So I get pictures my FaceTime I see pictures of my boys and just that scene that she described. I'm sorry It's like very very affecting You'll write that when there's a gun in the household You're more likely to have a child get shot or the owner get shot than to kill let's say an intruder into the house Those are just numbers. There's just the fact So one of the things we can do and it's very hard to get into American's houses where all of these guns are But if we can convince Americans that personalized guns are a good idea Then again if the child gets a hold of the gun that they can't do anything with it Then it just becomes a very heavy expensive prop and That's something that we can push one of my proposals is to actually help Gun owners upgrade their guns to personalize guns free of charge Because if we can do that then again if you're a gun owner and Gun owners are parents gun owners understand that you know and some of them are concerned So if you say hey, we'll upgrade your guns for free when we can do that Like you can upgrade the guns for free and that would help make kids safer in our homes I'm so sorry you had to I know that story should not be possible. I'm so sorry I'll admit and I don't want to admit this when I first saw this when I saw him tear up It made me tear up because that was such An Emotional moment there, you know for someone who's running for president to actually let his guard down like that To see the way that he was touched personally by a question I mean you rarely ever see this imagine if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris was asked that same question Do you honestly believe that they would allow themselves to reveal their emotions like that? They would say, you know, I offer you my condolences and they they would pivot to their Planned talking points that they have for gun violence and Certainly, you know, I'm sure that Andrew Yang's Points about gun reform and personalized guns. I'm sure that he planned that out I'm sure that this is something that he's talked about before but for him to actually Have his answer Interrupted by just emotion This is what I want to see in lawmakers and I know that it doesn't seem like there's much policy substance to extract here And maybe there isn't but just in terms of like what we need is we need lawmakers to be able to listen to our Complaints our grievances our criticisms and respond accordingly and adapt an Andrew Yang demonstrator that he is capable of that. He's capable of listening to the concerns and responding in a very genuine and Authentic way and look, this isn't the first time for example when he came on my program I shared my story about my dad who's on social security and I posed the question to him Does it seem fair that my dad has to choose between universal basic income and his social security when he worked his whole life and paid into the Social security doesn't it seem unfair that he wouldn't get that extra 1000 But someone who makes you know a hundred thousand a month would and Andrew Yang was very honest in his answer in saying You know, this wasn't something that he had considered and about a month later He actually amended his UBI program So it offered UBI on top of social security now I'm in no way taking credit for that because This is a common criticism of UBI of his UBI in particular So I'm sure that he heard that before but just the fact that he was willing to listen to criticism of his signature policy proposal and amend it to adapt To align with one of our biggest concerns that really is impressive Oftentimes just from the standpoint of being a human being when you get criticism even if it's constructive We are inclined to shut down We are inclined to put up that barrier to have cognitive dissonance and just accept that we're perfect and they're wrong but what Andrew Yang has demonstrated is that he's a human being he's authentic and What he does is he listens and he genuinely adapts and he's been adding To his policy agenda, you know as the campaign went on as he talks to more people And I really find this commendable and even if I still don't support Andrew Yang And I don't necessarily agree with the way that he would implement UBI because I don't want it to be used as a Trojan horse to get our social safety then I think it should be offered on top of all of our welfare programs But nonetheless, you know just what he's doing here in being a human being in Adapting in his willingness to listen. I really hope that other people learn from Andrew Yang who are running for president and do what? He's doing here. I'm looking at you Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Cory Booker because for some reason Democratic Party strategists, they still are Instructing candidates to pretend like it's the 1990s and you've got to use your thumb to point So you're not being too overly aggressive and you've got to be rehearsed and have the person you know the perfect tagline with the perfect timing and Those days are done. We are in an anti-establishment era where when you do things like this you earn respect because you show us That you're a human being you're not a robot you are a human being and you are capable of Being affected by the things that we tell you That tells me that we can move you we can get you to listen to us on a particular issue Incredibly important. I hope that more candidates let their guard down in this way and follow Andrew Yang's lead here because This was such a touching moment. It was great
