Andrew Yang Still Wants To Give You $1,000

In This Episode

Was Andrew Yang ahead of his time? When he ran for president in 2020 on a platform of universal basic income and the threat of AI job displacement, people didn’t take him seriously. Now, Andrew’s got even more ideas on AI and UBI, how our political system should deal with it all, and whether it can be done with only two parties.

He and Jon discuss how the Forward Party’s independent candidates could spoil elections for Republicans, his new book of essays “Hey Yang, Where’s My Thousand Buck?” and why he’s decided to join the cast of a new television game show: Nation’s Dumbest.
