Here is the text of Andrew Yang's video:
"I'm here with my wife Evelyn tonight we have two young boys Christopher and Damien. How many of you all are parents like us here in the room? So if you're a parent you've had this thought...maybe you've been afraid to express it and it is this:
'Our kids are not alright.'
They're not alright because we're leaving them a future that is far darker than the lives that we have led as their parents. We are going through the greatest economic transformation in our country's history –the fourth Industrial Revolution – and it is pushing more and more of our people to the side.
We talk as if Donald Trump is the cause of all of our problems. He is not. He is a symptom, and we need to cure the disease.
Now, my first move was not to run for president of the United States, because I am NOT insane. My first move was to go to DC talk to our leaders and say technology is ripping us apart. Immigrants are being scapegoated. Our kids are being left behind and the American dream that my parents came here to find is dying before our eyes and the people in Washington DC had nothing for this.
They don't want to touch it they don't want to talk about an issue they don't think they have a solution for.
I'm not running for president because I fantasized about being president. I'm running for president because like many of you here in this room tonight I'm a parent and a patriot and I have seen the future that we're leaving for our kids and it is not something I'm willing to accept.
We need to create a new way forward for our people. if you want to join us in rewriting the rules of the 21st century economy go to yang 2020 dot com and make it so that we can look our kids in the eyes and say to them and believe it your country loves you your country values you and you will be alright."
