Pete ButtigiegEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

On Monday, I caught up with former Transportation Secretary, mayor, and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg while on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania, on this episode of The Siren Podcast. Secretary Buttigieg spoke openly about Trump’s new war in Iran, and the dangers that American troops in the region now face. Buttigieg himself served in the U.S. military and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2014, where he worked in a secure unit in Kabul, conducting over 90 “outside the wire” convoy trips. As Buttigieg told me, “The president hasn’t even tried to explain to the American people, or to the troops, or to the Congress, real reasons why [the Iran war] couldn’t be avoided.” Buttigieg continued: “Six families and counting have gotten that knock on the door. If you can ask families to go through that and service members to put their lives on the line, the very minimum the Congress should be ready to do is to sit in Washington to take a vote and put their names against an up or down vote on whether they’re gonna allow this.” As we have observed, Donald Trump and his allies have released a series of garbled, awkward statements combining just about every justification under the sun as to their reasoning for beginning the war. One of the more concerning things thus far, is Donald Trump’s avoidance to deliver a presidential address to the nation explaining why the country is involved in yet another Middle Eastern conflict, demonstrating a sincere disinterest in governing for the American people. Coming from the “most transparent administration in history,” there is a huge lack of transparency, whether we’re discussing the Iran War or the Epstein files. Thank you all so much for watching today’s episode. It’s because of your support that I’m able to have these incredible conversations. I love you guys!! 💙 Jo Learn more about your ad choices.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joins the Mo News Podcast for a wide-ranging conversation just months after leaving the Biden administration, to talk politics, democracy, aviation, fatherhood—and his latest thinking on a potential 2028 presidential run. Buttigieg weighs in on Trump’s second term, his budget cuts, the flood of executive orders, and how worried he is about the state of American democracy. Why he thinks it is not a certainty that Democrats may be able to win the White House back in the coming years. He also shares what he’s learned from his recent podcast tour (including stops popular on the right), what Democrats keep missing in their message, and his perspective on Trump’s war on institutions like the media, universities, and major law firms. We dig into the Democratic Party’s struggles with young and working-class voters, the rise of Democratic Socialists, and a generational shift to the right already underway. Buttigieg also reflects on his time in the Biden administration—including what he observed about Biden’s cognitive state, whether he should’ve run for reelection, and whether Buttigieg wishes he said something earlier. Plus, we press him on his tenure as Transportation Secretary—from airline safety to the air traffic controller shortage. And, we look ahead at his growing alarm over AI’s potential to destabilize American society. Finally, we discuss 2028 election plans: What he’s weighing, what it would take to run again, and whether America is ready for another Buttigieg campaign. 🐝 This podcast was recorded from the Mo News office at ⁠ Industrious at Midtown on 50th St. ⁠ Mosheh Oinounou ( ⁠ @mosheh ⁠ ) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.

In this third episode of Commuter Rail Conversations we’re talking about President-elect Joe Biden’s nomination of Pete Buttigieg as his Secretary of Transportation. Much of the discussion around the Buttigieg nomination has focused on a perceived lack of experience in the sector. Reflecting on his own experience with the former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Commuter Rail Coalition vice chair and founding member Mike Noland joins us to share his thoughts on what Buttigieg can bring to the US DOT. Noland has been President and General Manager of NICTD/The South Shore Line since October 2014, and before that spent 28 years in leadership roles at Chicago’s Metra. In our conversation about “Mayor Pete,” Noland paints a picture of an actively engaged mayor who very much understood how commuter rail service impacted the economic vitality of South Bend, the value of down-stream projects, and how reducing trip times on service between South Bend and Chicago-land would be an essential upgrade for those commuters who call South Bend home. And we’ll learn how Buttigieg’s incisive mind and practical experience can mean transformational leadership at the US DOT, not just for commuter railroads, but for all modes. Joining us for this expanded episode of Commuter Rail Conversations is a special co-host, Melissa Boyles, of the industry podcast Moving Arizona . Please enjoy the conversation.

The first year of the 2020s has left us all asking: How will we move forward from here? Join Pete Buttigieg, former presidential candidate and Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, in conversation with leading activists, politicians, authors, scholars, entertainers and more to confront America’s greatest challenges and discuss the ideas and actions that will shape the times we are about to live through.

On communicating water issues with elected officials: Keep it simple and be patient. “A lot of our most talented and capable people sometimes forget about the ratio between what they know and what I’m capable of absorbing.” Veterans are a fantastic source for the future water workforce because of the shared value of service. “What military service and good municipal public works have in common is they are a form of service and professional work that makes everything else possible.” Go where you’re needed, no matter how surprising or unexpected that place may be.
