Summary

Don Lemon sits down with Andrew Yang for a wide-ranging and unfiltered conversation about the future of American politics and technology. Yang shares why he believes the two-party system is broken, what's holding Democrats back, and why it’s time to rethink how we engage voters. Then they dive into the rise of artificial intelligence, what it means for the economy, the workforce, and whether our leaders are prepared for the disruption. Smart, sharp, and surprisingly candid, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
