Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh
Pete Buttigieg on Trump Tariffs, Taxing Billionaires, and Republican Gays

But the idea that he had to pay taxes out there and he also had to pay American taxes, then that company should have to do the exact same thing. And I don't know how you implement that. I understand it's tricky. I understand these guys are paying tens of millions of dollars to these attorneys that are just tax code nerds that are trying to find the loopholes. I've spoken to some of these guys.

And I've spoken to some hedge fund dudes that were literally like, listen, we could try to find ways to make money in the market. It's easier to attack the tax code. Mm-hmm. They literally told me that they're like, the money is attacking the tax code, not the market.

I mean, that's something that would, and I don't understand the wording, but to what we were speaking before, like speaking to people's feelings, like finding a way to effectively tax these corporations, which would reduce taxes on working class people, finding a way to turn that into one sentence, but letting a working class person know that they're going to pay 20% less because we found a way for these corporations to honor what their tax burden should be.

I mean, when Trump or when Doge or whatever was saying—maybe it was Lutnick was talking about the tariffs, and they were like, yeah, well, yes, the goods are going to be more expensive, and it's going to be more expensive for everyday people, but with the money that the tariffs bring in, we're actually going to remove the income tax for people making under $150,000 a year.

Whether or not they do that, that is— That is fresh meat for somebody who's going, I make under $100,000 a year, and that is a huge burden on me, and I can provide for my kids so much better. They can go to that camp that they've been telling me about.

They're saying they're going to offset that burden with the money that comes in for the tariffs, regardless if they actually implement this or not. Mm-hmm.
