The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett · Secretary Pete Buttigieg: The American Dream Is DEAD. We're Running Out Of Time To Fix It! · 3 Aug 2026 podcast

There are very few things you can do in life.

I mean, all the way down to like crossing the street or eating a cheeseburger that would have a zero to 4 billion fatality rate.

So that's an amazing achievement that happened because there is the right framework with technology and rules where you have a lot of innovation.

I mean, the aerospace sector is known to be very innovative, but also you need to make sure it's safe.

And it's worth considering that when we're saying, okay, how do we make sure that these AI technologies develop so that we can have safer vehicles or you can get a better screening of a radiology scan for cancer or any of these other things all the way down to like, you know, these amazing ideas about curing cancer or figuring out nuclear fusion, which are urgently important things to do without having the kind of AI equivalent of a plane crash.

Well, I find socialism is a word that means less and less the more people use it.

It gets thrown around as a label.

It means different things to different people.

And I'll take your example to illustrate this.

You know, higher taxes for very wealthy people is an idea that is broadly popular.

I think it's the right thing to do.

And importantly, we have a tradition of doing that already in the United States.

Some of the highest taxes, there was a point where the income tax for the wealthiest tax bracket in the country was around 90% in the United States.

I'm not saying we need to go back to that.

I'm just saying then that was happening in the 40s and 50s and 60s.

When the Cold War was going on and the U.S.

represented capitalism against communism or some would put socialism would lump it in with that, right?

So there is a tradition of the U.S.

being a fully capitalist country and also doing a better job of heading off this inequality.

And the point of dealing with the inequality wasn't to punish the wealthy.
