Episode Ep 42. Andrew Yang: On UBI, Defunding Police, Cancel Culture, Entrepreneurship

0:00 51:23

I don’t bother interviewing most politicians. But former presidential candidate Andrew Yang is interesting.

Unlike most politicians, he has experience as an entrepreneur, he criticizes politicians for their "magical thinking," and he even left his party (the Democrats) to start the "Forward Party."

I spoke to him in 2021, soon after its launch.

We discuss if a third party could ever succeed, where politicians' magical thinking has failed, entrepreneurship, and I push back on his vision for universal basic income (basically free money).
