What if we start taxing the robots? What if we eliminate closed primary elections? What if we launch a new political party? In the fifth episode of Uncommon Ground, Van sits down with that supernova of solutions, Andrew Yang. During the 2020 U.S. presidential campaign, Yang was a fount of fresh thinking -- including his proposal to give every American $1,000 a month. In this conversation, Yang proves he is just getting started. He’s continuing to push FORWARD a whole new slate of creative solutions that will stretch your imagination about what is possible. And in a touching moment, Yang gets personal -- sharing with Van what it actually feels like to be one of the first Asian American political stars.

New episodes of Uncommon Ground with Van Jones release weekly, every Wednesday.
