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

And he did it anyway.

So how does that happen?

I mean, I've long given up trying to see into the mind of this president.

I mean, I really hope that the next president isn't facing this war dragging on into 2029.

But I mean, yeah, one thing we have learned is that it is harder to stop a war than it is to start one, which is why if you have any other reasonable choice, you don't start one.

So what are you going to do if you are president?

Look, the next president will face a complicated, violent, and challenging Middle East and world map no matter what.

And the next president is going to have to deal with that while dealing with a more assertive China.

and a dramatically swiftly evolving security landscape, partly because of things like AI.

Just as you and I are sitting here now, there's a lot of headlines about a big safety issue created by an AI model that was supposed to not even be able to access the internet, managing to get itself on the internet and hack into another company to get the answers to a test that it was told to solve, right?

And that's as of today in 2026.

The things that could be going on by 2029

are surely going to change both what we're up against and what's possible.

Look, in the same way that there was a nuclear hotline between Washington and Moscow, because it turns out, even while at each other's throats in a lot of ways, one thing that Americans and Soviets didn't want was to incinerate the planet, there's going to have to be some way for countries that do not trust each other today

to coordinate on things like making sure AI doesn't lead to bioweapons being made by rogue actors or even individual actors, making sure that it doesn't lead to nuclear proliferation or any number of other problems, right, that could happen.

So the security picture, I think, will be more challenging for the next president than it's been for any president since the Cold War.

Well, you need somebody who's deliberate and decisive.

Those two things sometimes are in tension because deliberation means you slow down, you look at what's going on and you think about it.

But decisive doesn't mean you immediately make a call every time a question is put to you.

It does mean that once you feel like you've got enough information, you make a decision, you own the consequences of that decision, you move on to the next decision.
