As the economy reels from Trump's sweeping tariffs, Jon is joined by former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to examine the fallout. Together, they explore what Trump's levies mean for everyday Americans, discuss how to bridge the divide between politicians and the people they serve, and consider how a new generation of leadership might rebuild in the years ahead.

I continue to worry about H given that he's living in a country undergoing a constitutional crisis, per James Carville.
We can't take farmers and take all their people and send them back because they don't have maybe what they're supposed to have. They get rid of some of the people who have been there for 25 years and they work great and then you throw them out and they're replaced by criminals.

Of particular note and value in this discussion is Buttigieg's understanding of what gave rise to Trump and the need to repair the system after him - not by rebuilding what he tore down but by building new in a way that actually fixes the problems that have been fueling populist sentiment. It may be the most inspiring political "speech" I've heard in a long time.
