Thank you, listeners. If you have any questions, send them to Mailbag at Andrew Yang.com.

0:05.1

You can even send them as a voicemail. We're listening. It's my Frazier invitation.

0:10.1

This week on the Andrew Yang podcast.

0:14.3

Everybody's angry at the system being broken in some capacity. And almost everybody is poor.

0:20.5

And like there's a lot of where this like the root of this is coming from, like we're just

0:24.1

pissed off.

0:24.8

Yeah.

0:25.0

So a study came out recently that said 60% of Americans have trouble affording a decent

0:31.7

standard of living almost half are stressed out about housing costs, almost half are stressed

0:36.0

out about groceries.

0:36.9

And so if you're

0:37.5

like living under this constant cloud of stress, then it's very easy to be ticked off and want someone

0:44.6

to blame.

0:49.0

Hey everyone, hope you're enjoying your Labor Day weekend. We are going to be answering listener questions this time.

0:57.9

Brought to you by our very handsome co-host, Zach Grumman. You know him, you love him.

1:03.3

I'm back. Feeling good. Yes. It's good to be back.

1:06.6

Yes. So first, what, I mean, let's just jump into the questions because people, people ask them and answers are here.

1:13.8

And I'll say, have I reviewed these questions? Maybe, maybe not.

1:16.1

I don't know if you've seen these. I might not. I will say this. For those of you who send them, we get a healthy amount, but we almost do all of them at some point. So flagging, we do read them. As long as they're not trolling us, we do usually use them.

1:29.7

Okay, let's dive in, Andrew, and we'll probably catch up along the way. First question is from

1:34.8

Benjamin. This is a pretty good one. There's a lot of harmful rhetoric being spouted by the right,

1:39.8

such as stereotyping immigrants and vilifying the left. However, I've also seen a lot of similar rhetoric coming from the left, how everyone who voted for Trump is a Nazi, how the Republican Party and its supporters are fascists, etc., etc. As someone, Andrew, who is friends with people on both sides of the aisle, thanks for noticing. Thanks for noticing. I like to think myself too, try to be. Do you think we try, I'm friends of you. I don't know what you are. Do you think this rhetoric is harmful? And if so, how would you suggest combating both right wing and left wing rhetoric in an effective manner? If speaking out against both becomes isolating, how would you suggest dealing with that? Thank you, Benjamin. Good question.
