Andrew Yang ran for president as a Democrat in 2020 and gained national attention for his massively successful grassroots campaign. He has since left the Democratic party, founded the forward party, and has been an outspoken advocate for reforming America's political system. In this interview, he dives into the most important reforms that America needs, rejecting Trump through the third-party movement, and what the Forward Party is doing to meet these goals.  You can hear more from Andrew in his TED Talk “Why US politics is broken — and how to fix it” as well as in his book Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Jeremi and Zachary sit down with Andrew Yang and former New Jersey governor, Christine Todd Whitman to discuss the problems with, and potential solutions to the two-party system in the United States. Zachary sets the scene with his poem, "Four Questions". Christine Todd Whitman served as the 50th Governor of New Jersey, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency during the George W. Bush administration, and she is now Co-Chair of the Forward Party. Whitman began her political career in the Nixon administration's Office of Economic Opportunity. In 1993, she helped found the Committee for Responsible Government (now the Republican Leadership Council), a group advocating for moderate positions within the Republican Party. Whitman authored It's My Party, Too: Taking Back the Republican Party…And Bringing the Country Together Again. Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, non-profit leader, former 2020 presidential candidate, and co-Chair of the new Forward Party. After working as a lawyer and executive at several early-stage technology companies, Andrew eventually became CEO of an education company that became #1 in the country. He then started a national entrepreneurship non-profit, Venture for America, which worked to empower thousands of young entrepreneurs to bring their dynamism to communities across the country. He is the author of Forward: Notes on the Future of Democracy.

Michael Shermer speaks with Andrew Yang about the Forward Party, the future of politics in a party duopoly, political partisanship, and how to bring about the change we need. This conversation is based on Yang's new book Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy. Shermer and Yang discuss: why we have a political duopoly, instead of, say, 7 parties like in Germany • ranked-choice voting and open primaries • gerrymandering and voting restriction laws and policies • the Rational Public • fairness doctrine • local journalism, newspapers, and TV stations • term limits • nonpartisan primaries • data as a property right • Department of Technology • Universal Basic Income (UBI) • reparations • abortion • the polarization of radio, television, and social media • ideology and political polarization • Trump in 2016, 2020 … and 2024? • what it's like to run for President • what his fellow politicians are really like in person • what he learned on the campaign trail • how his many failures in life prepared him for political campaigning • why market solutions to social media polarization won't work • why you should join the Forward Party even if you don't agree with all their points. Andrew Yang was a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and a 2021 candidate for mayor of New York City. Named by President Obama as a Presidential Ambassador of Global Entrepreneurship, he is the founder of Humanity Forward and Venture for America. Yang's New York Times bestselling book The War on Normal People helped introduce the idea of universal basic income into the political mainstream. Yang is a graduate of Brown University, where he graduated with degrees in economics and political science, and Columbia Law School, where he was an editor of the Law Review. He lives with his family in New York.

Today we have entrepreneur, activist, and philanthropist, Andrew Yang, who gained mainstream recognition with his Freedom Dividend approach during his 2020 presidential campaign. He is an author of 3 books including "Forward: Notes on the Future of our Democracy". He will now be “bringing the voice of web3 to Washington DC” with Lobby3, a DAO built for like-minded thought leaders, innovators and Web3 enthusiasts to help advance the positive impact of blockchain technology and eradicate poverty through real world use cases. https://www.forwardparty.com/ https://www.lobby3.io/

In this episode, I talk to Forward Party's founder Andrew Yang about the future of American democracy. Andrew shares the insights he's learned from his presidential and mayoral campaigns. His major realization is that America's two-party system is designed for polarization and dysfunction. With the media and the internet further inciting division, polarization may eventually escalate into violence. In order to shift towards a human-centered economy, Andrew believes we need to change our political dynamics and incentives. We also touch on the topics of tribalism, rationality, automation, education, leadership, and governance. BioAndrew Yang is an entrepreneur, attorney, and political candidate. He was a candidate in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries and the 2021 New York City Democratic mayoral primary. His signature policy was a universal basic income of $1,000 a month as a response to job displacement by automation. After his campaigns ended, he left the Democratic Party and founded Forward Party, a political action committee that seeks to alleviate political polarization and reform the U.S. political and economic systems.Andrew is also an author and has published several books including Smart People Should Build Things, The War on Normal People, and most recently, Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy. Website: www.andrewyang.comTwitter: @AndrewYang Topics01:34 Andrew's childhood and early ventures 09:04 Andrew's desire to humanize the economy 11:28 The presidential and mayoral candidacy experience19:51 Society's current incentive structures22:57 “The duopoly is designed for polarization”29:49 How do we reward grace and tolerance in politics?33:18 Fact-based governance and a shared objective reality39:59 New measures for well-being46:26 Politics is tribal51:44 United by universal human values55:28 Fulfilling the need to matter1:00:36 Human-centered education

On Tuesday's show: At some point over the last two years of the pandemic, you or someone you know has more than likely come down with a mild infection of COVID-19. We know getting vaccinated is the best way to protect yourself, but does natural immunity developed from a previous infection provide anywhere near the same protection as a vaccine? And what kind of immunity do people really have after recovering from a COVID infection? Also this hour: State Rep. Gene Wu joins us to talk about state government and issues facing his district in west and southwest Houston. Then, former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang talks about starting a new political party and his book Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy. He's speaking at an event tonight with the Asia Society. And we learn about Mykawa Farm, an agricultural education center run by HISD.

Andrew Yang announced recently that he was leaving the Democratic Party. In a crisply written piece entitled “Breaking Up with the Democratic Party,” Yang declared, "I believe I can reach people who are outside the system more effectively. Making partisan arguments—particularly expressing what I often see as performative sentiment—is sometimes uncomfortable for me. I often think, 'Okay, what can we actually do to solve the problem?' I'm pretty sure there are others who feel the same way I do." To understand more about Yang's substantive trajectory, I picked up a copy of his new book, Forward: Notes on the Future of our Democracy (New York: Crown, 2021). I found it to be an excellent read, especially for Progressives. Here's why.

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.

This week, we broadcast a recording from a virtual event with Andrew Yang and Charlie Dent on political parties and democracy reform. We discuss open primaries, ranked-choice voting, universal voting, and more. Dent was the McCourtney Institute for Democracy's fall 2021 visiting fellow. He spent seven terms in Congress representing Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley and served in the Pennsylvania state legislature before that. He's currently executive director of the Aspen Institute Congressional Program, a CNN political analyst, and a 501c3 adviser for the Renew America Movement, which supports candidates who are committed to democracy and the rule of law. Yang ran for president in 2020 and mayor of New York City earlier this year. Most recently, he founded the Forward Party, a movement that brings together people interested in solving America's problems, debating ideas in good faith, and advocating for policies like open primaries and ranked-choice voting. Before that, he started Humanity Forward to advance policies aimed at ending poverty. His latest book is Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy.Both Dent and Yang spend a lot of time thinking about how to fix what's broken in American politics  but have different ideas about how to do that and where go from here, which made for a very interesting discussion.Additional InformationWatch the event on YouTubeForward Notes on the Future of Our DemocracyForward PartyRenew America MovementRelated EpisodesThe case for open primariesYour guide to ranked-choice votingHow to end democracy's doom loopA roadmap to a more equitable democracy

First, Andrew Yang ran for President, and he could barely get mainstream media's attention. Then, he ran for Mayor of New York City, and suddenly, his every move was being scrutinized.  Following those two failed campaigns Andrew announced that he was leaving the Democratic Party altogether and announced the formation of a new third party, Forward, this past October. Today, a conversation on how, and why, Yang plans to take on the two-party system, and what last week's elections tell us about the political temperature of the country.

Like many, I despair of our country's division, which is rapidly expanding in lockstep with our inability to productively communicate alongside growing distrust in institutions and the media.Also like many, I want solutions. Much of this rests with us. But we also need leadership.Across the political landscape, most elected officials understand this problem and its gravity. However, very few proffer solutions beyond the beaten path. Even fewer demonstrate a good-faith willingness to tackle the dilemma with solution-based action.Today's guest Andrew Yang is an exception to this pattern.For those unfamiliar, Andrew is an entrepreneur turned politician best known for his 2020 presidential run and subsequent New York City mayoral bid. He's the man who pioneered a national conversation on the power of universal basic income (UBI) to address maladies produced by widening wealth disparity. And he's a leader I find genuine in his commitment to the greater potential of our democratic experiment, bringing forth original and bold ideas to the national conversation—ideas not always in his best self-interest.Part memoir, part campaign trail exposé, Andrew's latest book, Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy, is an instructive read on the damaged state of politics and political media as well as the broadening national divide that is eroding our humanity. A roadmap on how to repair the broken spokes of our democratic system, it also serves to announce the creation of a new third party—the Forward Party—part of Andrew's plan to redress democratic dysfunction by disrupting America's two-party duopoly.Today Andrew shares his story and vision.This is a relatively partisan-fee conversation about how to reimagine the democratic experiment for the betterment of all.We discuss the merits of universal basic income, human-centered capitalism, the problems with our gerontocracy, and what we need to truly progress as a nation.In addition, we discuss the perils and merits of a third political party; the role of new media in politics; the advantage of open primaries and rank choice voting; the importance of grace and tolerance; and how to modernize government's anachronistic bureaucracy.To read more click here.
