The Bulwark Daily · Pete Buttigieg: Time for Radical Change · 14 Jul 2026 podcast

If not under Biden, then maybe under Obama, then we're going to go back or the Clinton year or something.

There's some like date that we have.

It's not the 50s, like where the Republicans want to take us.

But it's in the past and that just can't be right.

So a couple things.

I think this is exactly right.

We hated seeing them burn down or break down all these things.

So, of course, we instinctively defended them.

And on one level, I get that.

You know, it's criminally wrong to just burn down the USAID or the Department of Education or you name it, right?

But that doesn't mean everything was going along just fine.

So how do we get through this?

A couple things.

One, I think we need to be going back to first principles.

And we think we're like the intellectual party, like the thoughtful party.

But I think in many ways, we've actually lost a step compared to the right.

I mean, I imagine you may have come up in this world, right?

Where if you're like a young Republican staffer of our generation, like you, by the time you show up for your first campaign or Capitol Hill internship, like you have like a copy of Hayek or Friedman issued by the Heritage Foundation under your arm, right?

Like you're thinking about like the big things.

And you would think the left would have that too, but actually like because the academic left got less and less connected to kind of politics and in some ways I think to reality, we actually have a bit of a weakness on our side.
