A little more than two years ago, Pete Buttigieg rocketed to political stardom when he emerged from seemingly nowhere to become a leading Democratic candidate for President. He had to say the least an unusual resume. A combat vet who served in Afghanistan, openly gay, and Mayor of South Bend, Indiana. A town with a population barely over one hundred thousand. Yet Buttigieg stunned the political world by winning the first out of the block Iowa caucus, at least in terms of delegates. Buttigieg didn't get the nomination of course but he was tapped by President Biden to serve as his Secretary of Transportation. A job that puts him in the middle of some of the country's most pressing issues from soaring gas prices to shoring up decaying infrastructure. He's also got some thoughts on the wave of anti-LGBTQ laws being passed by state legislatures across the country. He joins us to discuss these topics and more.
