2028 Presidential Frontrunner: The American Dream Is DEAD We’re Running Out Of Time | Pete Buttigieg
Former US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says the American experiment is on the brink. He argues that the country is at risk of losing its democracy, the problems Americans feel every day are not accidents, and that fixing it will mean doing the hard things almost no one wants to do.Pete Buttigieg is the former United States Secretary of Transportation, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan. He ran for president in 2020 and is now widely regarded as one of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028. Out of office for the first time in years, he speaks with unusual candour about power, war, the economy, and where America goes next.
He explains:
◼ Why he believes American democracy is genuinely on the brink, and what it would actually take to save it
◼ The real story behind the strike on Iran and the "ceasefire" that wasn't
◼ Why a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter, and whether a wealth tax is the answer
◼ How AI is about to disrupt not just jobs but people's identities, and who he thinks should share in the gains
◼ What he says the administration really hid about the American troops who died
