Summary

It didn’t take long for Andrew Yang to learn how vicious and broken the media and our two-party political system are. During his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, he felt the system’s corruption firsthand. So now, he’s on a mission to fix it — and he started by leaving the Democratic Party behind to form a new one: The Forward Party, which he outlines in his newest book, "Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy." Yang joins Glenn for a conversation that the two-party system says should never happen, but that results in something rare: allies in the fight to prepare for the greatest upheaval mankind might ever have seen — the automation-fueled “revolution of all things.” While Glenn and Andrew debate climate change and Yang’s trademark $1,000 universal basic income proposal, they find common ground on tech, cryptocurrency, and disturbing political trends that would have the Founding Fathers rolling in their graves.

These things are something that the questions that should be the questions that motivate

political action. But instead, political, the root word is politics. And politics is

decided by shady deals between elites and nobody really ever thinks, how do we want to

leave this world and then honestly pursue that? Today's guest is not that politician. And

that's what makes him an incredible politician in my opinion. He has years of experience

inside the tech bubble, which we talk about in this podcast, a little frightening, quite

honestly. It earned him a position of the presidential ambassadors for global entrepreneurship

in the Obama White House. Then he decided, hey, I know what I want to do. I want to run

as a Democrat in 2020. His presidential bid is what made him a household name, but also

1:38.5

dragged him through the mud. Watching the Democratic nominee debates, it was obvious that

he was probably at least a decade ahead of any other presidential candidate and nobody

wanted to deal with what he was talking about. I have for a very long time. He is talking

about and writing about issues that truly matter because they are issues that we're all going

to face. And people don't even know what they are, let alone, oh, that's never going

to happen. He's offering solutions for now in the age of automation. He's also taking
