About this episode
Former presidential candidate-turned-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has a pricey task before him: how to spend $600 billion over 5 years to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure.
He sat down with News Not Noise to tell us about some of those projects and how he believes they’ll benefit citizens across the nation. We tackle some big issues: inflation, climate change, the DOT’s work to ease holiday travel challenges and the midterms: why democracy is on the ballot this year.
He tells us why even in the face of political extremism, he's still optimistic about the country's future.
