AI, Politics, and a Shot at the White House | Andrew Yang

Andrew Yang joins me for a conversation about politics, AI, entrepreneurship, and why he believed he had to run for president. We talk about what pushed him from the private sector into national politics, what he learned from meeting former presidents, and why he came away convinced that the people leading the country are not superhuman. Andrew opens up about the reality of running a presidential campaign, from building a team and raising roughly $40 million to making seven debate stages and breaking through with independent media. We also get into the deeper issues driving his campaign: collapsing trust in government, the two-party trap, insider corruption, and the very real threat AI poses to millions of jobs. Andrew explains why he’s been sounding the alarm on automation for years and why he believes the country still has not caught up to what’s coming. From there, we shift into Noble Mobile and the simple idea behind it: most Americans are getting crushed on wireless bills and barely question it. Andrew breaks down how Noble works, why phone service has become an overpriced commodity, and how reducing costs and screen time can both improve people’s lives. This is a conversation about ambition, common sense, broken systems, and trying to build something better instead of just complaining about what’s broken.
