Pete Buttigieg on Trump Tariffs, Taxing Billionaires, and Republican Gays

it's worth some risk in order to reach everybody. And again, that's partly the habits that I formed while I was an unheard of, you know, 30 something year old Indiana mayor running for president. So we did everything like we would do CNN if they would have me, but we would do, I mean, literally like Iowa college lesbian radio was like, I would like do a show, like anybody who would talk to me.

Um, I think that's better though, because I think it better resembles, um, politics is supposed to be. Like politics obviously has a bad name. People are pissed at politics and frustrated politics and hurt by politics.

But like, to me, politics is a process of making decisions about how we're going to have laws and rules that all of us have to live by and how we're going to spend resources that all of us are paying into. And for that to make any sense, there has to be a process of encounter. Like we have to be encountering people.

who don't think like us and don't view the world the way we do, both in order to actually legitimately become smarter and better and make better choices and have better positions, and just in order to persuade. There's no persuasion now. I think there's not enough persuasion. And that's why we have these 50-50 elections, like this current election. The president won. He says it was a landslide.

But we used to have actual landslides in this country. Reagan, Mondale, that was a landslide. And I think that my party should aspire to be like a 60% party. And I think we could do it because most of the issues that most people care about, not all. But most issues—taxes, abortion, guns, education—like, things that affect how your day-to-day life goes. Healthcare, for sure.
