    Goodbye sweet prince.
    Former West Virginia State Sen. Richard Ojeda on Friday dropped his long-shot bid for the White House.

    "I don't want to see people send money to a campaign that's probably not going to get off the ground," the Democrat said in a video provided to The Intercept. In a subsequent statement posted to Facebook, Ojeda lamented how big money still dominates politics and, as such, it was difficult for him to gain traction and attention.

    Andrew Yang, on rogans show is promoting his presidential run. he is polling at 1% with Kirsten Gillbrand, and has some phenomenal ideas/and data driven goals on:

    - Automation predictions collapsing Retail/Trucking industries.
    - Medicare for all
    - Freedom Dividend ( $1000/mo for every american to help them cope with the immediate shitty economy that is about to drop in the next 5-11 Years predicted by everyone).
    - Student Debt
    - Suicide rates
    - American life expectancy declining
    - Immigration
    - UBI for every American over the age of 18.
    - and more.

    This man wasn't on my Radar at all. But, thought it should be shared. He pretty much takes control of the show... Seems pretty realistic. Dispells all of the "yeah buts.." etc... Its really worth a listen. He pretty much speaks for the entire time, and even has jaimie pulling stuff up. Refreshingly real. Give it a listen before chiming in about basic income and how it wont work etc. It isn't a silver bullet, but his arguments are mathematical.

    His strategy though, is to give a pass to the midwest for voting for a racist ( This is my take), and get them on board with his plan for the future of unemployed workers in America. Its compelling. I wish he was on another show, but, eh, yeah, its Rogan.
