In this episode of the Portal, [[Eric Weinstein|Eric]] checks in with his friend [[Andrew Yang]] to discuss the meteoric rise of his candidacy; one that represents an insurgency against a complacent political process that the media establishment doggedly tries to maintain. Andrew updates Eric on the state of his campaign and the status of the ideas the two had discussed as its foundation when it began. Eric presents Andrew with his new economic paradigm; moving from an 'is a [worker]' economy to a 'has a [worker]' economy. The two also discuss neurodiverse families as a neglected voting block, the still-strong but squelched-by-the-scientific-establishment STEM community in the US, and the need to talk fearlessly - and as a xenophile - about immigration as a wealth transfer gimmick.

''00:00:18''<br>
 
'''Eric Weinstein:''' Oh my God, thanks for bringing the energy. You've just come fresh off this rally at MacArthur park. You're indefatigable, the Energizer bunny.
'''[00:00:36] Eric Weinstein:''' <span title="00:00:36">And I should say that your hat is, make America think harder.</span>
 
''00:00:25''<br>
'''[00:00:39] Andrew Yang:''' <span title="00:00:39">Yep. </span>
'''Andrew Yang:''' Yes. We just had a 6,000 person rally. 7,000, 8,000, I lost track. I was counting manually. No, I wasn't, but—
 
'''[00:00:40]
''00:00:34''<br>
'''Eric Weinstein:''' And I should say that your hat is Make America Think Harder.
''00:00:37''<br>
'''Andrew Yang:''' Yep.
''00:00:38''<br>
'''Eric Weinstein:''' But it's—
''00:00:38''<br>
'''Andrew Yang:''' It's what The Portal's all about I suspect.
''00:00:39''<br>
'''Eric Weinstein:''' It's math—well we're trying. We're trying. So we don't want to keep you up late because we want you super charged for tomorrow, so let's just dig right into it. Andrew, I'm remembering that we were having this dinner at Zazi in San Francisco—
''00:00:54''<br>
'''Andrew Yang:''' Yes.
''00:00:54''<br>
'''Eric Weinstein:''' And you were impressing the hell out of my wife and myself, and I said, "That guy's going places." She says, "How candy is it?" These are different times.
''00:01:03''<br>
'''Andrew Yang:''' Oh, thank you... [inaudible]
''00:01:04''<br>
'''Eric Weinstein:''' So am I right that this is, this is happening?
''00:01:07''<br>
'''Andrew Yang:''' Oh, it's happening—
''00:01:09''<br>
'''Eric Weinstein:''' Big time.
''00:01:10''<br>
'''Andrew Yang:''' I mean, our campaign is growing by leaps and bounds by all of the measurements you would ordinarily measure a presidential campaign: crowd size, fundraising—
''00:01:21''<br>
'''Eric Weinstein:''' Fanaticism.
''00:01:22''<br>
'''Andrew Yang:''' Well that's, yeah I guess—
