He exudes intelligence with every word he speaks! I love listening to his logical explanations.
The foolishness of that comment is so deep I can only ascribe it to higher education. You had to have gone to college to say something that stupid.
I agree!! I mean 7.5 Billion to get 7 or 8 charging stations!! That is so smart it's hard to see
You mean when he's not breast feeding?
I bought a hybrid. The savings is amazing and I don’t have to recharge. It has more power than my old car.
If anything hybrids are what they should be pushing.
Yeah? Wait until you have to replace that battery. 8 grand or so?
@@DoomSausage1 Most people use their car exclusively for shorter drives that can be handeled by a single charge of 5+ year old EVs. Even if that doesn't include you, an EV might still be the better option as the benefits can save you many times what you need for the occasional rental. And that's just if you don't want to charge outside your own garage. The benefits of EVs for the vast majority are much greater than the occational inconvenience of having to charge on longer drives. And the time spent waiting for charging on the road isn't even longer than the time it takes to frequently fill the tank. The chore of filling the tank on the regular is replaced by a simple plug at home.
@@presidentzeus2359 we don’t have the infrastructure for it super genius. EVs in cold climates? Yea no. Still using power from coal. Where you gonna get all the energy? Solar panels? Wind mills? How about strip mining cobalt and lithium? Real environmental friendly right?
@YoushouldNeilAnblomi The infrastructure isn't even there to accompany an EV composition that is coming by the end of the decade. Now, lacking the economy of scale, it is still poor, but it is definitely there. EVs in colder climates aren't as problematic as you suspect. Norway, not exactly known for its warmth, has almost 50% electricity cars. During last winter's extreme cold, gas cars were equally problematic as EVs, and it isn't the season for road trips either.
15% of American electricity is sourced from coal - A high number, but the electricity is getting greener at a much higher pace than gas (surprise).
And why are you even pretending like ethics lies close to your heart while defending the petroleum industry, which is the least ethical industry of our time next to the arms industry. People defending the industry - one behind oil spills, the wreckage of democracies, and pollution alone killing millions of people each year - don't strike me as one to boycott businesses with unclear ties to forced labour camps in China. Very picky on when their ethics kicks in. "EVs are bad because china" but also "tariffs on china?? how could you do that to our EVs"
Urrg Secretary Pete is just so well spoken and smooth . He’s so intelligent!
You mean when he isn't breast feeding?
7 chargers installed? But at least he is well spoken.
What a capable public servant
His record does NOT reflect that.
Care to specify anything
As a car mechanic I see a lot of potential to electric cars. The mechanical systems are much more simple. No oil changes/leaks, no gas tank/leaks, no brake pad replacements, no exhaust system to deal with, very little heat, thus, expansion and contractions are limited so parts can last longer.. Im not saying they are without problems, I just see potential. Also, a guy could get off the grid with a small windmill/solar panels and stop depending on oil companies and government. I think they are kinda cool and have potential. Honestly I don't care what you drive, in some cases, combustion will be better, in others electric might be better.. just stop hating on stupid stuff!
Also with an EV, I wake up every morning with a full “tank of gas”! Total game changer! So much Big Oil FUD out here in these comments and in the media writ large…
Joe you are clearly not a modern mechanic.
Electric vehicles have a cooling system, Tesla which is arguably the leader in electric vehicles calls it a "thermal management system" which consists of several components, including the radiator, coolant circulation system, air circulation system and heater.
Also although electric vehicles can use the electric motor to slow down they still have a traditional electric braking system with almost exact same items as a traditional vehicle, now you could argue that the brakes will last longer on an electric vehicle but theoretically it could last longer under the exact same conditions with the same exact driving styles.
Also it is fair to mention on America's number one selling electric vehicle which is the Tesla Model Y there is over 4400 batteries that are similar in size to the traditional D battery we are familiar with, they are made from lithium ion and each one of those 4400 batteries has the potential to go bad, the battery pack in which every single battery is housed comes in 4 modules, each individual battery is housed one of those four modules and will take a a technician with a multimeter and a good understanding of electricity to figure out which one is bad, if one goes bad. The reality is batteries go bad it doesn't matter how well you take care of them at some point one or more batteries will die in the battery pack and then you got to figure out as a technician is it cheaper to repair the battery pack or to replace it.
It is absolutely factual to state that electric vehicles have more parts than a internal combustion engine vehicle and statistically they do not last as long before a major failure.
I want to be clear i am not against electric vehicles I think for certain certain people and situations electric vehicles have benefits but I also think internal combustion engine vehicles in certain situations can be better to the individual consumer to figure out which vehicle best fits their needs.
I also want to educate anyone who thinks electric vehicles are more reliable sadly they are mistaken because they are not nor are they as long lasting as an internal combustion engine vehicle which if the proper maintenance is followed and corrosion is avoided could theoretically last forever as long as wear items are obtainable.
The reason why everyone is getting mad including myself about the so-called "electric vehicle revolution" is because it is unnatural it is being forced on us, if electric vehicles are actually better let them win sells in a free open market that isn't subsidized by the American taxpayer.
Let electric vehicles get charged in filling stations that are privately funded, it should not be up to the American taxpayer to fund 200,000 + individual charging stations across the United States. Also consumers should be made aware of the inherent shortcomings of an electric vehicle, such a long charge times, long-term ownership battery replacement will be a must and limited infrastructure and a fairly limited amount of qualified mechanics to work on the vehicles.
@@AtomicReverend well written response. I agree that the free market should lead the way with EVs. Your right on coolant system, but it’s not used to cool moving parts, more so the battery. I see a huge potential for improvements and another alternative to conventional vehicles/gas.
What are you going to do about the batteries? Cars can have their motors swapped out, and engines and other components can be rebuilt. When the battery goes, you have a couple thousand pounds of dangerous chemicals that nobody has figured out yet how to dispose of safely or recycle. Yeah, there is "potential." Lots of ideas have "potential." Forced government implementation of those ideas almost never works. Read history. Lack of foresight, infrastructure, recycling/disposal, power grid requirements, etc.
Agreed! So many people have let politics get in the way of looking at this objectively.
This guy is a rock star.
Really? What instrument does he play? What's the name of his latest album?
He is the chest feeder there is. Nam one thing he has accomplished?
Hey Secretary Pete! In my blue sanctuary city the tweakers keep stealing the copper wire from our EV charging stations. Will there be money in the federal budget to post armed guards at these stations?
In blue cities they don’t use armed guards, just social workers
@richyp64. surely there’s a solution that would not require a human guard to stand there. We can do better than this.
I’m sure better locking systems and placing them at locations with proper surveillance will do the trick. That would require more red tape and time for the project to be completed tho, and I’m sure y’all would use that delay to say the project was a failure. See why we can’t get anything done?
Ah, someone who can speak coherently and knowledgeable! And people say he’s “boring”. I’d love to have more “boring” in politics, that means they’re doing the job right🤣
The Real question is what Have you done for Me Lately not How Smoothly the BS rolls off your tongue
But he is a science denier !!!.
@@jluther1755😮. Aren't you sweet? He is doing a great job as is the entire Biden administration. Facts and truth aren't for you? The last guy did love the poorly educated. Thanks for the proof. 😊

I’m 68 in July, I hope I have the opportunity to vote for mayor Pete;) for President!!
I would love to see Pete debating anyone, maybe as a VP candidate in 2028, when Kamala is the presidential candidate;)!!
You forgot GAY and a mother
Spoken like a mother about her son! 😂 This man has no integrity.
He certainly makes a pleasant change from the baboon brigade populating (one-half of) the House & Senate.
@@wehttamgtrekceThis man has great integrity, great at logistics of major projects, served his country. He is clear, actually answers the questions, solves issues.
Pete Buttigieg is SO well prepared and speaks SO well. I also like the way Pete noted Biden's infrastructure package and emphasized it in a positive way.
Really proud of Pete Buttigieg.
He's the best at talking to right wing nutters. I hope he tries running for POTUS again.
@@yvonneplant9434 If we are still a republic in 2028, I see Pete as major VP material as grooming for the Big Seat. He's not only all the superlatives I've seen, but also BRAVE.
ME TOO! Gosh I Hope He Runs Again... SOON!!!
You know I don’t get why Biden doesn’t talk more about his other accomplishments like Pete talks about infrastructure. It would help people understand better all that Biden is doing behind the scenes.
Secretary Buttigeig is an Afghanistan and Iraq war veteran.
He is a great example of someone in government acting as a public servant. He takes his job seriously and answers questions intelligently.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
How much is Buttigieg paying you?

Huge respect for Pete and good hope for our future - we need highly competent public servants like him
He's terrible.
South Bend mayor couldn't fix pot holes. But he inherits problems instead of fixing them.
Respect ? This is the guy who pretended to ride his bike to the office by getting dropped off a quarter mile out . Real integrity haha .
What drugs are you on??? 🤣
@@ainsleydavid3541 prob the same as joe biden.
Many horse and buggy owners probably said they "would never buy one of those damn smelly, noisy automobiles!" Pete spoke the truth though. The EV revolution is coming like it or not and China is knocking at our door with cheap imports (both EV and Hybrid) that could wipe out our auto industry. In 2023 7.2% of vehicles sold in the US were EVs or about 1.2 Million vehicles. The pace of sales has slowed a bit and for some reason that has left a lot of folks thinking that EVs were just a fad. Too many people get caught up in the day-to-day noise and fail to see to long-term trends.
Oh man, you have to crank them by hand to start them. It can rip your arm off! There's nowhere to buy gas for them on long trips, and what about all the blacksmith jobs?
There is no denying that he has a brilliant mind, more importantly though, he is thoughtful, respectful, and honest.
???
You are kidding? He wasted 7.5 billion to only build 7 charging stations in three years. He is a clown with Dunning - Kruger effect.
I mean there is plenty denying that he is in fact not a brilliant mind.
He did great as mayor...and now!! Sadly, political partisans will try to destroy him...as their normal game plan...way back in 1992 Ross Perot said it best.." replublicans have made an art form out of character assassination."
@@kahledalbert1210 Now tell me, are you a Rhodes Scholar?
This guy is as fast a thinker as I’ve ever seen in politics. He’s seldom caught off guard with a question. And as far as I’ve seen he gives a real answer, not just stupid bullshyte!!

Love me some Sec Pete! He’s such a stellar representative of the Biden administration and the Democratic Party! More than that, however, he’s just a good human who’s vastly informed, intelligent, savvy, compassionate, well spoken, and a gentleman! VOTE ALL BLUE! 🌊🇺🇸💙
Oh silly Lib. Be ready for Trump 2024!!
PLEASE
VOTE BLUE!
You mean gentle lady.
@@EddyMerckx-1964-Sallanches He doesn't look like a lady to me. He served in Afghanistan. Did you?
I like how Pete answered the questions posed to him. No deflection, no change of the topic or blaming others. I heard answers to questions! Yay!
7.5 billion dollars and he built 7 stations
Words, wonderful. Actions, hahahaha!
I mean literally everything he said was a deflection. He speakers without saying anything meaningful that will help any of us taxpayers
@@kahledalbert1210Obamaiatis lots of words no substance
I heard excuses and apologetics.
Where do charging stations get their power? Hmm?
From the air. It's magic.
Jen Granholm said they get it "from sunshine. I'm driving on sunshine!" she said.
Unicorn tears.
The backs of hardworking Americans, eventually.
@@myfavoritefairyYeah, solar power is generated from sunshine.
So refreshing to see someone with real expertise and a pragmatic approach in such a high level of government. Pete would make an excellent president.
if you even did research on anything you would see how the lefts policies actually have been destroying the country. like trump or not but his policies actually made the country better
What is this, Jew central?
You’re not smart
@@CatLoverx900 A lot smarter than you honey.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY, MAYOR PETE 🇺🇸 Thanks for your service
I've never seen this guy flying a separatist Crayola flag. Just a vet and a family man!
Thanks for the sentiment, but Memorial Day recognizes those who have died in service to our country. A lot of people don't realize that. Veterans Day recognizes all service members.
Pete is a complete disaster.
@@RickMcCargar And you are incompetent
@@chrisdurham1144 by age thirty, I'd built a 3500 employee Integrated Circuit company. We designed and manufactured ICs for everything from toys to spacecraft. Pete couldn't get hired for any job in our line of business. He has zero skills. You're dismissed
And manufacturers are losing billions on electric cars
That's because they haven't reached economy of scale yet.... In the US. China manufacturers are losing billions.... But they have like 200 manufacturers of EVs.... Hundreds of new models...... Most of the Chinese manufacturers have been trying to build their way to profitability but.... Most of them are going to go bankrupt
you mean passing those losses on to customers.. auto prices have risen more than 30 percent.
Do you mean the billions and billions in disasters are worth taxing us?
@@MudflyWatersman you ever see the ev dumps in China? Row after row of unsold unused E V's
@@daveer-v7n You are trying to argue using facts with Democrats? lol China controls the rare earth market and still loses billions. Ford lost more than $100,000 for each EV produced last year. Yet Biden still forcing companies to sell more EVs.
7.5 billion of tax payer dollars to build charging stations and they have built 7 in 2 years??
Fire all these clowns now
Not Tax payer dollars yet, "Borrowed Dollars", to be paid back with interest by Future Tax Payers, then Blue Team wonder, 🤔 How did we get all these price hikes❓
Someone got rich off those contacts
That's a lie.
There's been 20 built in the last 6 months just where I work.
How about we fire any voter who expects better out of government
@@trumpthis1656A spot on analysis! And dude is talking about 500,000 is the goal? At $1B a pop, where does he think our money comes from?
Pete is maybe the best communicator in today's US politics.
in some modern democracies, this would be enough to be seen as presidential material.
You must also think Gavin should be president because he has good hair.

@@markgrace659 No, not because of.
Listening to Secretary Pete, my faith in government leadership is strengthened. Yep. I think he is definitely future Presidential material. I would be proud to have him work with the leaders of the world on my behalf.
What has this guy really done, besides make excuses and apologize for this failing administration.
lol
Every time I watch Pete speak on these shows, I’m so annoyed that he’s not our front runner for the next president. Just so polished and sharp, the kind of guy who can run circles around aged global leaders.
🤣🤣🤣
Because everyone can see through his BS. He is not liked by voters for that lack of genuine answers
I said the same thing to a friend of mine; she agreed but said she wouldn’t vote for him because he is gay. I’m hoping her reaction is an isolated one; maybe it’s an age thing. Mr. Buttigieg would be an excellent President.
@@kahledalbert1210What BS are you imagining? He answers questions as directly and clearly as anyone could ask for. Maybe you’re just not used to that.
@@pollytiks3885And if he weren’t gay, they’d complain he’s too short or too young or any number of insane qualifications. Meanwhile, we have a bunch of prevaricating people in their 70s and beyond in both parties running Congress and going for the presidency.
Subsidizing EV's is just giving tax dollars to people who don't need them.
Ignoring our earth has gotten into multiple and multiple disasters. We can no longer prevent where we have come, but we can still help it from getting worse. Do you know of a better solution? Because doing nothing for 40 years has gotten us here!
@@lindahaltam6535 Linda, when I was a small child in school, 1st grade, they were telling us that by the year 2000, the earth would be frozen and its our fault. Then in my 20's we the people of this country were told that our activities were causing global warming and sea levels will rise. etc etc.... Then about 2011 the global warming scare was debunked and very shortly there after came the phrase "Climate change" lol lol lol
I cant use the words here to describe what I think about all this.... lets just call it road apples.
SInce I was small, winters where I live, the climate has not changed much in over half a century.
Winter spring summer and fall always seem to arrive. Call me when they dont . Some winters are colder than others some summers are hotter some are cooler. Some times spring is early sometimes its late. Same with fall and summer and winter. But all foour seasons always arrive.
Climate change? Yea it sure does.
What role do you think the Sun plays in our weather? Our climate?
Any? lol lol ARe the daily goings on of people more powerful and influential on our weather(Climate) than the Sun? Volcanos have any effect? Like the one in Indonesia that blew tons of sea water into the upper atmosphere......
Think Linda. Think

The global fossil fuel industry has received trillions upon trillions over the decades. Just in 2022, IMF report shows $7.1-trillion USD to fossil fuel companies. Whatever clean energy subsidies are getting now is a drop in an Olympic sized swimming pool.
That is so incredibly wrong of you to say. Free trade or Capitalism is only possible if every nation on the planet played by the same spending rules! China has saturated the market with EV by subsidizing their ENTIRE auto sector!!! Question: how do you compete with that? The audio sector is a H huge portion of America's GDP. YOUR, setting workers up for failure! And the GDP making it that much harder to pay down America's debt! And affording the opportunity to take it over. Reaganomics put the US in this economic situation and you think stocking with that plan is going to help? If that is the case America is doomed!
EV is coming whether you like it or not. Hysterical maga.
You ask him a question, he answers it. How refreshing! And on top of it; he knows what the hell he's talking about 🙂
But What is the content of the answer. mostly BS propaganda.. Didn't mention the 2 DEAD Boeing whistleblowers?? Hilarious
He answered lol. 7 charging stations in 3 years and $7.5 billion dollars allocated to it 😂
Democrats love to spend but don’t know how to make the Money, just print more money. 💰
We know what he’s talking about, he let us know how this administration is failing.
@@Agentofkaos6808 The cope and bootlicking in these comments is unreal. 1 billion per station but hey what a good job he's doing.

🙌🔥🎉🌟 PETE BUTTIGIEG 🌟🎉🔥 🙌 GOD, it is so shocking and wonderful to hear a politician who can articulate ideas with facts and solutions completely and clearly....just shocking.
This conversation was eye opening. Mr. Buttigieg spoke knowledge to power about climate change and our need to advance our infrastructure as a Country to meet the current climate of the USA and the Worlds understanding on how we can make technological advances in electric vehicles and the need for us to move toward working together for the greater good of all. Glad you spoke on the airline issues- I was frightened to hear some one dies during a plane trip because of turbulent event. I wish that working together would be the norm; because we all need each other. I love the USA and I want us to get better together. Dallas Texas.

He cannot win in this country in 2028. A lot of old bigots need to no longer be voters before he can win in a general election. So many biased against LGBTQ. He still needs foreign policy experience.

BRAVO BUTTIGIEG! FANTASTIC LEADERSHIP FOR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY!
We have always had laws against driving while under the influence. What is she talking about?
The problem is in the various state laws and the tools they use to enforce them and get convictions.
@@combatepistemologist8382 Is that actually a problem though? Since when is a cop shy about saying they smell weed in a vehicle during a traffic stop and forcing the driver to perform field sobriety tests? If they fail they are arrested just the same as if they were impaired using alcohol.
Is the issue they do not have a way to get convictions because forcing a urine sample or blood test for drug testing isn't on the books in certain states? Are they not getting convictions because there is no BAC-like standard?
If she's going to bring the topic up I think she needs to inform her audience what some of the specific challenges are. She also fails to mention the study is far from conclusive on causality for various reasons, which is probably why she doesn't talk specifics because there is little to discuss. Unfortunately another example of a media person of trying to boil down a serious and complicated issue into a 30 second sound bite.
It did feel like she was trying to throw everything but the kitchen sink at Secretary Buttigieg. But as usual, he did a good job answering the questions.
I wish he was the president….. very intelligent person.
Ew
Gives goood interview but firmly unqualified even for his current role.
Would love for him to be groomed for the next 8 years...dems have many, many intelligent, well spoken candidates that are focused to serve the people as their motive for their actions. I am so proud to say I am a Democrat & plan to vote blue, & for the first time, straight across, up, down, left, & right the ticket!!
EVs and high speed trains are the future! Air taxis too.
Then why aren't more people taking Amtrak.
And transporters…beam me up, Pete
This guy is going to be President one day. Everything this guy says makes sense. Also appears like a well meaning, humble person.
If people were buying EVs in any significant number then the government wouldn't be having to heavily subsidize sales and manufacturers wouldn't be backpedaling on bringing them out. Look at the Ford Lightning. It has to carry $20k worth of discounts just to sell.
Excellent point
Ford lost ~$130,000 on EACH EV they sold last year but according to Pete they’ll make it up on volume…
Wash State has sold more EV's per capita than any other of the 50 states, and investing in charging stations, plus we're developing things like Hydrogen fueled vehicles. We even have both electric transit and school buses running.
What is the advantage of a coal-fired car over an oil-powered car? We have abundant oil.
nice!
did you know though? it started out coal - the awesome 'Stanley Steamer!'
but we simply didn't want to shovel coal to get to the movies!
Maybe you didn’t know this but the Oil supply is finite. There aren’t any more dinosaurs kiddo.
@@LoveyK maybe you didn’t know this but oil didn’t come from dinosaurs and it is the ultimate renewable energy. The US has over 300 years worth in just currently known reserves.

Why isn't she stressing the fact that Dump is supporting gas and oil so those industries will give him money and support him. It is for Dump not the future of our country. Why doesn't she talk more about that
Wouldn't it be nice if people like Margaret Brennan talked about the fact that the Boeing plane that lost its door was designed and built during the previous presidential administration, when The Full Orange Diaper was slashing government regulation, including massive cuts in the funding for FAA inspection of airplanes while they are under construction
While what you posted is true it was a lot more to it than that. But Donnie definitely cares for large corporations more than the the lives of his cult. Jeff Sessions and Mike Pence got destroyed for not committing crimes for Donnie.
You mean the former Insurrectionist-in-Chief-"bone spurs", who called or fallen soldiers "suckers and losers" (former Trump Whitehouse Chief of Staff John Kelly) and didn't want wounded veterans in parades?
It appears that Margaret has an agenda, and it isn't dispensing the truth! Her constant interruption's when the Secretary is attempting to make a point is quite irritating.
Boeing CEO Calhoun will step down at the end of this year as part of shake up. Safety issues?
Only maroons think airline safety is the result of government edict.
She doesn't seem to be listening to him and she is single-mindedly focused on the now - rather than the next ten years and beyond. In our future we cannot depend on only the gas car model - it isn't sustainable. But those executives in the oil industry aren't thinking about the American public's future because they will have exited their jobs with their golden parachute and high paying retirement plans by then. I drive a gas-powered car and plan on doing so for the duration of my life, but I'm old - it is the younger generations who will experience these changes and the repercussions of them more than I will. Failing to plan ahead is a huge mistake, but as Buttigieg has demonstrated the current administration is thinking and acting on the needs of the future as well as the present.
You realize all plastic comes from gas right?
That all the mining for the copper/lithium/cobalt/REMs is all powered....via gas right?
Its like a double whammy when you think about it like that: no EVs would exist without petroleum.
This guy should be the President. He’s got everything the job needs and then some.
Indeed. He is a clown on the level of Biden and Harris. I see great things.
@@truthisnowtreasonNot as much of a clown as Trump. Trump can’t make a full point without lying or greatly exaggerating something

@@daveer-v7n and producing and recycling the battery cost same amount polution as natural combastion engine car.
@@KZ_EU Battery degrades and each battery pack for an EV is more than $20k. Every year you own an EV you have to charge more often. Electricity for charging EVs come from oil, coal and natural gas. EVs heavier than gas powered cars and cause more pollution now according to new investigation. EVs damage the road more than gas powered cars due to weight. EVs cost more to fix. Insurance is higher on EV. More deadly in case of accident due to weight. Rare earth needed for EV batteries is controlled by China and China tends to favor domestic companies more and US manufacturers will be left out when China wants to hurt USA.
Love Pete,he speaks the truth,does not promote lies!
Even vapes for example, have plastic and batteries that once the batteries go bad it goes straight into the landfill or trash. All these batteries and mining for them is terrible for the environment.
On a side note, could we bring back paper and glass since they are both way better for the environment than the plastics they forced everyone to use starting in the 90s? Thanks.
Every time Aqua chigger does a video metal detecting in rivers he usually pulls between 3-6 vapes with batteries out of the river. He also pulls a lot of cell phones and other battery powered devices out of the rivers as well.
We need to put a mandatory deposit on them, like we do with bottles and cans in some States! That will incentivize people to keep them out of ditches, waterways, etc.
@@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi Aqua Chigger is one of my heroes as I am also a detectorist and have been in some rivers myself and it is indeed terrible and all this stuff isn't going to biodegrade any time soon. Incentives to recycle might also help but it's going to be a problem in the future I think.
@@MrSmithOriginalUnfortunately, I'm pretty sure you're right about future problems. 🫤
Actually manufacturing glass, transporting it and recycling it cause more environmental damage than plastic.
@spankyssurprise1361 "Recycling" isn't the purpose and it never has been. The clear reason for bottle and can deposits given by every state that has mandated them is to keep them out of ditches, waterways and parks. Especially bottles that get broken in parks and beaches where children play.
Pete is facing the nation. What an incredible person!!!!!!!! Great job on E. Palestine. Great job on Airlines, especially Boeing. he is wonderful

For what? Building three charging stations using 7 billion dollars? This guys clueless.
This dude is gay🏳🌈 And the best man for the job. As a straight male. I give this man all the respect he deserves
Why do you even mention the dude is gay, as though it should be so kind of impediment? It has nothing to do with anything.

@@corydor4218 - It was a bit of a strange thing to say, but I think he is simply saying that Pete being gay is irrelevant and he is sending respect for a job well done. As a gay man myself, please don't attack the guy for being on your side/agreeing with you but not using your own language. Remember, Obama came into office not being supportive of gay marriage. Things are changing quickly. For the average straight guy or anyone else actually, visible open gay leaders is very new. I am very happy to see a straight guy acknowledge, respect and embrace a gay guy for his talent. Take the win! Don't try to turn it into a loss because he isn't woke enough for your taste!

Talking loud and landing one-liners are not what wins debates. Have a safe Memorial Day!
PETE PLEASE RUN AGAIN ! ! ! !
I Have Never Seen You On NBC MEET THE PRESS Or Have I Just Missed Out On Catching You?
PETE IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB WITH THE AIRLINES! ! ! ! ! ANYBODY PAYING ATTENTION TO HOW THE AIRLINES CAN NO LONGER RUN ALL OVER US!?!?!?
Indeed!! he was on MTP with Chuck Todd 5 years ago.
No - if you want to risk flying in unsafe conditions on a plane…. Not me. Air traffic control - you just heard about, but also more rights for passengers re add ons, when flights are cancelled, money back much much quicker, flights more on time etc. are all part of this. Airlines more accountable. A little inconvenience for a short time for better and safer service is surely a great thing.
Pete is right about EV's. I charge my Tesla Model Y at home off my DIY solar and drive for FREE. No more stopping at gas stations dropping $80 to fill up.
You are a liar ! To charge an ev with solar it will take 2 weeks stop the nonsense
Well the right might get that eventually. So far they haven't.
@@Coral-reef.- Well, solar power can be stored in batteries. Couldn’t those batteries be used to charge an EV?

Sweet Pete ......
So refreshing to hear a coherent conversation that makes sense ❤❤❤
Very glad to see so many positive comments below. I also agree about his logical articulation. I will always lean towards the "smartest guy in the room" and that seems particularly true in a compare and contrast environment where inarticulation, avoidance of issues (read solutions) and planning beyond the end of so many transactional noses dominate the conversation. To the short-sighted occasional comments below hopefully you will notice that change will always exist. We should just hope smart people are leading the way.
Pete brought no notes. This is all in his head. Smart man
No need to bring notes, he didn’t have information to give, just typical excuses.
Team Pete! You here?
YESSSSSSSS ! I 💙 PETE 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Politics must become more intellectual. Thank you Secretary Pete, for being a shining example of how things should be! 💫
5 charging station in 3.5 yrs and suddenly he’s going to crank out and install 499,995 more in a further 6 yrs!? Rent a brain if you have to but this guy is weak and a joke. He’s no idea what he’s doing
So refreshing to have an interview about pertinent topics rather than a GOP candidate who still hasn't accepted that he lost.
Thank you Secretary Pete for doing a great job!
I love my rural high speed internet.
Trump is your daddy.
Pete is so well spoken and intelligent. Margaret doesn´t seem to really be listening. She seems ready to just be confrontational.
Future of the party right here. I hope he runs in 2028 or even ready to step in now should Biden bow out. Take back the Supreme court, Vote Blue!!!!!!
Great interview. Butty seems completely outgunned arguing that he triumphed by activating 8 EV chargers produced with $1 BILLION in funding. Great job by highly intelligent Margaret Brennan
Where’s the money going? That’s all they have to show from the taxpayers investment?
I like Pete Buttigeig
He likes you too if you're male.
Margret allows the Secretary to answer with little interruption. She also sounds neutral with her tone. When interviewing Vance she interrupts often with a noticeable adversarial tone. Too bad it only diminishes her credibility.
Pete almost bankrupted a town he ran once. If this dude ever runs a store it will go bankrupt within weeks, then he will preach how wonderful he was while the store was open.
he wasn't named 'pothole' pete for nothing
(oh, thats right - because of his 'lifestyle' and not the millions of holes in the city streets - sorry!
Your reading fake stories.
1 billion and 8 charging stations? 1 Billion from the taxpayer and that’s all they have to show for it? Where’s the money going?
Snarky questions, detailed educational answers.
He checks all the boxes. Gay, progressive, unqualified for the position and proficient at lying, like a good Biden appointee.
What Is the Peter Principle? I think I just witnessed it.
🤣
Why does Margaret feel the need to constantly interrupt Pete? One learns MORE when the mouth is CLOSED and the ears are OPEN, Margaret needs to learn that!
I understand you want to hear Petey's soothing voice to make you warm and fuzzy inside for 20 mins uninterrupted, but that's not how interviews work.
Stop airline bailouts
Stop all corporate welfare.
I've been listening to Margaret's questions, but when she gets to asking about the move towards electric vehicles, she's not informed. I realize people are concerned about being able to take long trips in electric vehicles, but citizens need to be better informed. I know friends who have taken multi state trips in all electric vehicles, from Washington State, where I live, around through Oregon, California, Arizona, Colorado and back to Washington. The fact is you don't always need fast chargers, if your staying somewhere over night, you can plug into a regular 110 circuit and your car will be fully charge over night. Washington State is fully committed to building charging stations all over our state, and we per-capita have had citizens buy the highest amount of electric cars of the 50 states. We see them everywhere around here. the rest of the country needs to get on board, this is the future to combat climate change. We see the actual effect of climate change here, and if you think those tornadoes and storms across the S E, are a fluke, you aren't aware of what scientists are telling us. I currently own a Hybrid,and get 45 - 50 MPG. I hope to find an affordable electric withing the next couple years.
You hit two of the main problems for people in your comment. While your area has charging available not every place allows you to charge up overnight when traveling. They have not figured out how to have you pay for it. The other is the cost of the cars. My son travels a lot for work but it is in areas of towns built in the Poconos. He looked into electric but the cost of one was way out of his pay grade. He bought a Toyota hybrid instead and loves it.
It will take time to roll out the infrastructure. Does anybody believe the national network of gas stations popped up overnight? People used to buy 5-gallon jugs of gasoline from their pharmacist, blacksmith or hardware store, and it took over 20 years to develop a network of gas stations.
There’s a great TH-cam about Norway and the issues faced with Evs. Done openly in the hope that other countries will not make the same errors. EVs start off expensive, but price is already coming down. Charging and distance of run was a huge problem, but now Evs are able in general to run for greater distance and take less time to charge. They’re getting better and charging stations are part of the infrastructure scheme.
What's interesting, is that we may very well move towards electric vehicles, although, unless we get fusion reactors up and running, I seriously doubt it.
That being said, this is the first technological "advancement" that needs the public to be "educated" on. When we moved to cell phones, we didn't need government mandates telling us we needed our landlines gone out of our houses in 5 years or pay penalties. There was a product that was better, and more useful, and people chose it.
If electrical vehicles are as good as you are implying, or if they get as good or better than gas powered vehicles, we won't need the government to force us to use them.
@combatepistemologist8382 and it takes 100 charging stations to replace 1 8 pump gas station. Can't imagine the cost of that infrastructure.
As a BEV driver, the efficiency and pleasure of driving a all electric car is amazing. Electric vehicles should not be required but encouraged with tax incentives and the lower cost vehicles. New options safety features on cars will be standard on all cars in the future BEV or CMV. Cheers
The passenger had a heart attack
Right after he Was Slammed against the ceiling of the plane 😂😊
@@jluther1755 I'm glad to see people recognize that a heart attack can be caused by a physical assault on the body. Now, if only they would apply that knowledge when denying fatalities resulting from the Jan 6 insurrection.
@@combatepistemologist8382 incorrect. Heart attacks are caused by coronary artery occlusion. You are confusing cardiac arrest with myocardial infarction.
@@combatepistemologist8382 and the officer that died the day after the insurrection had a stroke not a heart attack. Very different pathologies.
Wow, could MB have been snarkier?
All the time when interviewing Republicans. This was softball talk.
So 8 charging stations in 3 years. Great job.
He's a tool.
He loves the tool.

Mayor Pete is awesome. If this country was a little more evolved, he would be a fantastic president.
Great interview
Good god... the way he articulates himself in comparison to a Donald Trump or a MTG is just huge. He is thoughtful and intelligent with his responses. How the hell, I mean really, how the hell can anyone seriously consider a Trump or a MTG as a politician, much less a leader, after watching this clip that showcases how a real person in politics behaves and how knowledgeable they ought to be.. not to mention how focused on positive improvement and innovation.
I especially liked his point when he said, "Look, this EV revolution is going to happen with or without us." Does the USA really want to stop being seen as the innovation leader? The USA could have a 21st century green infrastructure, or they can argue and let other countries show them how it is done.
Musk spent $500 million on Tesla Supercharger stations network nation wide. Buttigieg is clueless on what it takes to build anything. It sounds like some contractors recieved a sweetheart deal!
Margaret we have to move forward with EV’s. Why are you challenging Pete on this?
Trading one type of pollution for another. Better to improve on what we have.
@@schoolsfan3719 I Concur ....
@@schoolsfan3719ICEs are already having diminishing returns on improvements. EVs have much more potential, and decades in the future could even be completely clean if we fully switch to nuclear and renewables for energy production and clean up the lithium mining industry
Pete missed the main point - more people aren't buying electric and hybrid cars - not because they don't want them, but because they aren't available, they aren't being made. Electric and hybrid cards aren't sitting on the lots unsold, they are all being snatched up by new car buyers before they even delivered. Demanding industry make more solves this and that's why it's the right policy.
In Washington State, they have the highest percentage of EV's being bought per capita, and we have banks of 4 - 8 charging stations at grocery stores. You set up your car to charge and go do your shopping. We even have charging stations at rest stops along our highways. We also have EV, transit and school buses.
I’m so jealous of how he’s so Articulate 😫🥰. Love me some Secretary Pete 💙
Yhea , an articulate young politician 😊
Good interview. Lots of information. No orange lies.
🇺🇸💪🏻
Pete!!! Pete!!! Pete!!!! 🇺🇸
Note: He brought no notes.
From the Palestine train derailment, to the highway sector collapse, to the Baltimore and Galveston bridges collapse, you do not see him grandstanding. Much of what he does is work with local authorities to get the job done.
Only 7 charging stations? Those 7 are government run; many more are private sector owned and operated with governmental subsidies (just as farmers get subsidies, etc al). The US is taking its first steps in a new technology attempting to balance job creation with education. That is why unions have endorsed Biden.
Secretary Buttigieg comes on conservative and liberal media and is consistent, no shouting over, no dramatic flaying; he comes prepared.
On this Memorial Day, to Buttigieg and all veterans, we remember, and we thank you for your service. Much more needs to be done true, but we know which party has veterans' back.
