South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg says that he has the right kind of experience to be president. Buttigieg, who is 37 years old, openly gay, a Rhodes scholar and a Navy veteran is a rising star in the Democratic Party. Though he is currently considered a long shot for the nomination, Buttigieg would make history as the youngest and first gay man elected to the White House. Buttigieg joins us in the studio to discuss his presidential bid and his new memoir “The Shortest Way Home.”

Guests:

Pete Buttigieg, Democratic presidential candidate; mayor, South Bend, Indiana; author, "The Shortest Way Home: One Mayor's Challenge and a Model for America's Future"
