The interview just underscores that Andrew Yang is a joke. His entire plan is based on theories where he fundamentally misunderstands effects, such as believing that UBI is the cure for incarceration despite the fact that many crimes have little to do with peoples' ability to afford something, ignores that UBI will create inflation that drives up costs on all Americans, etc. And he just tosses out completely speculative math for much of it. He's like Jill Stein, but worse. Not to mention that he doesn't understand that VATs create costs that get passed along to consumers.

Also ubi only $1000, you cant live off of that


Assuming it's non-taxable and depending on your circumstances (particularly if "free" universal healthcare is passed and that burden is shifted onto your taxes), you kinda can. Granted, even if it was taxable, that alone could fall into a non-taxable bracket.
