Hey, everybody. It is Thursday, July 24th. You're listening and potentially watching the Mo News podcast. I'm Mosheununu.

And I'm Jill Wagner. This is the place where we bring you just the facts.

And we read all the news and read between the lines. See it don't have to. Jill, it is great to have you here in studio.

Thank you. If you were watching this on YouTube, you'll notice

no headphones. That's because Moshe and I are in the same place. Properly lit. Properly lit. No audio

issues. Your in-law's luggage isn't behind us. That's right. It is a real studio, real microphones,

real lighting. Things were going great here in New York City until I found a live bug in my salad at lunch. That was the only hiccup so far.

Yeah, we're going to, they're going to hear from us. The salad place in midtown Manhattan. Jill, for those who weren't there, 99.9% of you weren't there, but I was there. Jill froze. Like, she's literally like, munch in a salad trying to talk to me, and then she sees this bug, and you, like, jump. Well, I spit out my food. Yeah. Your face looked like, what is happening?

Do I need to jump in? Does she need the Heimlich maneuver? You choking. Yeah. What is going on? Yeah. And then Molly, who works on operations, Mom mode took over for her and she grabs the salad. She's like, you're okay. You're okay. It's fine. But I have lived to tell. I joked that I was looking for something a little crunchy in my salad and I found it. You know, listen, sometimes I throw in some protein for you here

in some New York City places. But anyway, you're alive and in one person and you survived. I hope this

doesn't dissuade you from coming back to the city, Joe. Definitely not. I lived here for many years. I said, as long as it wasn't a cockroach, I think I'm okay. But it is actually so great to be here in person, to be with you, and the rest of the team. So I will definitely be doing it more often. It's been a very busy podcast studio today. We, just before taping this, taped interview with Pete Buttigieg. So we'll have a bit of that in today's podcast. And if you're a premium listener, head over to the premium podcast feed. We have the full interview available for you first right now. We'll get to much more about that in a second. Okay. Now to the headline starting with that interview with former Transportation Secretary and potential 2028 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg.

He sat down for that in-depth interview with Mo News and a lot of headlines, including what he says about whether the United States is ready for an LGBTQ president.

Yeah, that his time with Joe Biden, what he says about all the questions that have emerged

about that.

Also, Joe, his concern about the state of U.S. democracy, why it's pretty stark.

And also what he has to say about AI and his concerns about that.
