It's so shameful some Americans are so shallow that they're too bothered by his sexual orientation that they can't see that his articulateness, intelligence, and authenticity is a treasure to American politics. Democrats are incredibly lucky to have someone like Pete Buttigieg. He's one of the few politicians who is truly in touch with Americans.
I’m darn near 66 years old and I hope to live long enough to see him in the oval office. He is the smartest, most intelligent politician in Washington. He genuinely cares. We could be so much better if we elected people with character like Pete Buttigieg. VOTE BLUE 2024!💙
@@anngrogan6343 , So impressed with his smarts and dignity under pressure. Those dolts on Fox think they are so smart, NOT. Love when he politely shuts them down. A joy to behold. He never loses his cool. But radiates decency 💙💙💙💙💙💙
I love Pete Buttigieg so much. Just a real, stand up man. Honest, loyal, extremely intelligent, caring, and so on and so on. What an amazing individual.
@@brandong298 as a country we're not far along enough to see that progression.. I'm right there with you though, he's a natural leader and has the passion to be great.. he's great now but he could do so much more as the VP or crossing my fingers, president Pete
Pete is the most underrated and talented person in any room. He doesn’t have to raise his voice to make a statement or debunk a lie. Calm, cool headed, exactly what America needs. When the time comes and America can look past the private lives and see a person’s integrity, Pete will definitely have my vote. He is true leadership material. So thankful he is on the right side of history. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
I was thinking I want him to be the press secretary because I love the way he shuts down any reporters. Then again, I want him to be a key figure. Nevertheless, in any position, he will master. As a VP he would have been silenced and we definitely need his voice.
I am sure he would excel at any job he wants, no question! Secretary of State without a doubt, but we really need his voice on the home front, at least in the near future!
I vote Secretary of State to get more international experience. Then I'd love for him to get some experience in the house/senate/governor level somewhere. Let him hone his already considerable skills and build the reputation he will need on Capitol Hill while still pushing to help the people. If he doesn't end up being our first openly gay president, then I will be shocked.
@@mika6516 I read that when he was being vetted for Kamala’s VP, Walz said he’s not interested in being President (though that could change of course). So I would say President Pete after Kamala’s two terms!!!! 💙🇺🇸
@@d.mariecampbell7443 Currently, corporate donors determine what choices we have. Until elections are funded publicly and private donations made illegal, this will continue. Your voice cannot be heard nationally without financial backing so the question is not about who "loves their corporate donors" but about who has had their integrity damaged less by our system of corrupt election campaigns than his/her competitors. To pick Buttigieg out from the crowd as beholden to corporate donors tells me you're either a Russian or MAGA bot or extremely ill-informed (or both).
If everyone in Congress had Pete's drive, determination and enthusiasm to work on behalf of the American people, can you imagine how much better people's lives would be. The unity of the American landscape would be the envy of the rest of the world. Pete Buttigieg is a national treasure.
Agreed. IMHO, Buttigieg has POTUS written all over him. Yes, the Democratic Party has a lot of really talented leaders, but - IMHO & ideally - we'll see Harris/Walz in the White House for 8 years, then Pete Buttigieg/VP in the White House for 8 more!
Another great decision by Joe Biden! Lets not forget that. Joe and Kamala surround themselves with competent individuals, not suck ups or family members. Vote Blue!
There are more like him "out there," but few brave enough to get into politics. I hope that changes and we can bring dignity and decency back in our government.
Holy moly. I'm really old, traditional, I've never heard such factual good sense. Pete is the kind of leader we ordinary folks are dying for.And yet Kamala has more Dem talent than she needs. Vote Harris/Walz!
A shining STAR of modern American politics ! He's so well spoken, extremely bright and wonderfully diligent. Republicans should listen and learn from this kind soul.
Republicans DO listen. Pete is a frequent guest on Fox News & they keep asking him back. As for learning, I'm hopeful - based on Pete's first appearance on Fox News - a "Town Hall" of 2016 Democrat presidential candidates moderated by Chris Wallace, who seemed impressed when he said that Pete was the only presenter who got a standing ovation. It's worth another watch. Pete's logical, relatable answers to MAGA talking points were undeniable. His response to MAGA propaganda about the need to vote "pro life" to stop late term abortions was brilliant & so true. If you haven't seen it - especially if you're "pro life" - check it out & post your thoughts here. We'd love to know.
As a 74 yr old white guy, I can say listening to Mr. Buttigieg gives me hope in the future of our country. It is so refreshing to hear a young man speak who knows what he is talking about. Someone who has done his homework and has the intelligence to know what is important. With this man leading, we can all feel proud of the work being done to make our neighborhood a better place to live in and our country one worth fighting for. Thank you, Pete Buttigieg. I look forward to voting for you in the future!
Pete either has a brain like a computer or he has someone on the inside at FUX SNOOZE, congress and the senate. Every time he goes for an interview or for testimony and some MAGAot tries to trip him up, he comes off the top of his head immediately WITH FACTS AND CONFIDENCE to slap them back under their slimy rock and he can do it on subjects that aren't even in his wheelhouse too.
Pete Buttigieg is a great Man, Father, Vet & American.💙 One of our best communicators. He is for the people! We love you Pete! Thank you for your service💙💙💙👍👍😃🔥🔥🌊🌊
'Thats my point' he reinterrupts as they interrupt and then just carries on talking and making the point. He agrees with them while completely disagreeing with them and goes on to deemolish them and they dont know how to handle him 😂
Thank you for sharing this speech. It's the first speech from the Secretary of Transportation I've ever listened to...awesome Infrastructure Update. Inspiring! Educational. Acknowledging and Honoring of everyone involved. Future President possible - Pete is wicked smart including people smart. The best kind of human being. ❤
I'm a Brit but I'd just like to point out how refreshing it is, to hear Harris, Walz & Buttigieg talking like adults, in a positive, joyous, ambitious, INTELLIGENT, way. It's such a wonderful contrast to the constant stream of hate and childish insults from the big orange man-baby.
I know right - I am a New Zealander - and I love him - Him, Bernie, AOC, Katie Porter, and Elizabeth Warren, give me some hope for the US! (I love this new guy Tim Walz too - I keep thinking - I like this guy - the more I hear about him. Kamala too - both good choices - not socialist enough for me personally - lol, but I think they would be great for the US.
@@brendarolph-teisan4085 Oh, no. GOD isn't on the side of the Dems. 😁 Democracy? Decency? Unity? You're kidding, right? DECENCY -- Your side consists of some of the most hateful, intolerant people I've ever seen. I've never seen a president receive so much hatred as Trump has. I can understand not liking the guy, but I honestly don't understand the unbridled, vitriolic hatred you people have for him and his supporters. And it's strange considering we did MUCH better --esp. economically --with Trump than we've been doing with Biden and his cackling sidekick, Harris. UNITY -- Biden said he'd be a uniter, but he's a divider. Do you think his calling half the voters in this country "domestic terrorists" is uniting? Maybe you do, because your values are so warped. DEMOCRACY -- The Dem overlords trampled all over it when they pushed Biden out and installed the Forrest Gump-like Kamala Harris. They totally ignored you Dem voters by circumventing the primaries. Harris has never gotten a single vote -- now or back in the 2020 presidential primaries. She was so unpopular that she dropped out before Iowa. In fact, up until a few weeks ago, the Dem overlords were trying to figure out how to get rid of or circumvent Harris. Even the liberal "The Atlantic" published an article called "The Kamala Harris" problem. Now Dems are rallying around her as if this queen of the word salad were Joan of Arc and Jesus Christ rolled into one. SMH
Who would have thunk? Here in the USA? A gay guy addressing a room full of rough tough men getting applause and respect and in the near future, thanks!
GrandPa Joe got Kamala four years of training to be ready to be the next President. Here's hoping Harris and Walz get eight years to train up Pete and a team to keep carrying on good works. Get the team sorted and stay there long enough To Get Things Done.
Me too! Which is part of the reason after this election we need to work on passing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact & ranked voting in our states! I feel like Buttigieg could definitely carry a popular vote!
Hi, @Nana4014-x2f, and thanks for your comment. I love Pete Buttigieg and certainly envision him as our president one day. For that to happen, voters need to be informed and make informed decisions.
@@jackburton2680 Once MAGA is kicked out of GOP (So maybe already when Trump's defeated a 2nd time), they will need some time to rebuild, and if Harris does a good job, Democrats will further gain ground instead lose it. Ohio, NC and Florida might become swing states again, we'll see.
I could listen to Pete read out an old phone book and feel inspired. He's smart, thorough, thoughtful and generous with praise and giving credit. Just a wonderful human. Tim is perfect VP for now, as Pete needs to go higher. He is too young to peak now. I will just sit back and enjoy watching the Dems and all the incredible talent that is going to shine in the decade ahead 🌟 💙💙💙from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
What a wonderful thing to be able to sit and listen to a public figure speak at length about specific targets, goals, plans, and achievements that show promise for the future of our country. Republicans have no one who can match Secretary Buttigieg's knowledge, eloquence, and energy. Vote Blue up and down in November. The promise and hope you hear in this speech and in those of Vice President Harris and Governor Watz should convince us all.
Exactly. Not the highest of positions but even to be nominated in the process of deeply talented governors e a senator was a testimony of his potential/worth.
hahaha sitting here listening to the whole speech and reading the comments, and was just thinking the exact same thing. But I could l listen to this man read out a recipe for tomato soup. His authenticity and intelligence make for very compelling listening every time he opens his mouth to speak it seems.
Pete is doing a brilliant job building goodwill and support from union workers across the country not just for the current administration, but for his own future presidential run. Don't know when he'll ever get the chance again because we could potentially have 8 years of Harris and potentially even 8 years of Walz. The Democratic party is so fortunate to have Mayor Pete out there.
My late parents loved Pete, and were very impressed by him! They said he will probably be President one day, but he was even younger then, and not as well known. Now that he is older, and has name recognition, he really CAN be President Someday! I bet a lot of moderate Republicans would vote for him in a heartbeat! I LOVE Pete too!
Am I the only one who appreciates listening to a man who speaks in complete sentences, paragraphs of ideas, who thanks the people who helped him get his job done, congratulates their successes. He did not tell them what he did expecting a standing ovation of appreciation. He thanked and praised them. If you stop and consider the inspiration that people feel of a speaker like compared to trump’s the media picks on me, the Biden team picks on me, state elected officials won’t help me like they should because I helped them. See the difference. One is you made a difference and the other is poor, poor me.
I admire Pete he really cares to improve our lives. He's so efficient! Competent, educated, and intelligent. We should have more representatives in government like him. Instead of magas that they only care to get paid and do nothing for their constituents. What a difference! They only offer the despicable project 2025. Back to the 1800s. Vote blue 💙
He has something to say! Applause was puny but they heard facts. They heard about real things that have been accomplished and are ongoing good. And which most people have never heard about any of this, unless it’s in their neighborhood.
Pete’s the perfect man for the job they’ve gotten so much done. I know how much my life changed when I got my first union job we were able to buy a house. I still live in 29 years later.
Pete Buttigieg is a national treasure, and we are fortunate to have a man with his intelligence, his honesty and integrity working for the future of America. Does America know this is happening on the west coast? Perhaps one day this modern transformation in transportation can happen coast to coast, but only if we move forward, with a forward thinking administration. The Harris-Walz administration will continue with bringing good jobs while working everyday to move America forward in all ways. VOTE BLUE 💙WE'RE NOT GOING BACK
This has been the best administration for union workers I've seen in my 50 years of being a union member I can't say enough good things about Joe Biden Kamala Harris And Pete Buttigieg
Pete is one of the most amazing people I have ever seen working for us. He’s right up there with Biden and Harris. This is an amazing time for America. It will only continue if Harris and Walz become our next President and Vice President and Buttigieg and others like him get elected. Vote Democrat all the way down the ballet. Keep the excitement moving forward.
This infrastructure initiative will take YEARS to implement and I think that means it will need consistency in said implementation and so I think that Pete Buttigieg will need to stay in that role for a bit.
Thank you for this podcast. Thank you secretary Pete Buttigieg Harris/Walz Pres. Biden and our Democratic Party! Blessings to the twins and to the lovely family Secretary Buttigieg.
I read this just as he was saying it. Despite having four years... The Republican wall never got finished, Mexico didn't pay for it, and it did nothing to reduce immigration rates. That is all anyone needs to know about how well republicans govern.
Thank you, Keith, for bringing this to us. You are doing an amazing job! I could listen to Pete Budegieg for hours. What a true Patriot he is. He is uplifting and inspirational and he does it with class.
Pete, it is refreshing to listen to you and hear about all that you, this administration, and the union workers of America are accomplishing for all of us. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
@@jeffyoung3635 GOP is not ready, but sane people are. You will never win over the MAGA people no matter if you are a white christian demi God or anything else. They will find another fake christian rapist who lies 24/7 instead.
You can see how he isn’t bragging about his own role in this, but making it feel like a genuine team effort. Great leader. I hope to vote for him one day.
Who paid attention to the Secretary of Transportation before Pete?! He made the job important by doing important work. And he gets in front of the public to raise awareness. What's next for this rock star public servant? Secretary of State? His amazing communication and multi-lingual skills, military perspective, fearlessness (regularly goes on Fox) and real curiosity to hear people out are terrific assets.
Watching this, I’m just so impressed how immersed he is in the details of the projects and jobs involving these steelworkers & other unions. He knows his stuff! He takes it seriously! He cares! And he sees the human impact. Pete isn’t just a figurehead or just going through the motions until he can climb the political ladder to his next position. It’s so clear he has spent the last 4 years truly doing the work of directing our transportation infrastructure and making a difference. We’re so lucky to have him.
Actually corperate media gives Pete quite a lot of time mostly because, as we see here, the guy has magnetism. Heck, he's on Fox regularly. Even people who don't like him, love him. I've seen him calling out people's lies to their face and you can see the lack of animosity in Pete and the respect the people he's calling out have for him. Pete is golden.
Im very happy to hear Pete talk about what the American workers care about. I was fortunate to retire from my electrcal career with a pension! What an awesome thing!! I was a woman that had a great job with good wages... Very proud of my career accomplishments!! Was able to provide for my boys and help send them to college...
Wow, an amazing speech from Sec'y Pete. Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity that rarely happens, a full speech vs clips. Keith is a true patriot. Hardworking, committed, honest, sincere, and he loves our country. The best IS yet to come.👏🫂#VoteKAMALA🗳💙🥥🌴🌊
Pete is so effin cool. Nice dude, great leader, incredible communicator, AMAZING Dad/partner; he's ALWAYS taking about his family. I hope he runs in the future and becomes the first LGBTQIA President!!!
I hope Pete will serve as Secretary of State in the Harris administration. A great introduction to step into a future presidency. He does this country proud. Vote Blue 🌊🇺🇸
These are the patriots. They serve in the military and then come home to serve in government. They live a life of service to others. Thank uou Mr Buttigieg for all that you do.
My husband was in that audience and says Pete is exactly who he is…knowledgeable, strong, smart and fiercely positive about the future…
Thank you for sharing. ❤
Lucky woman, lucky household.
....and young, healthy, articulate, honest. Refreshing, isn't it?
He is truly the bright and the best person to lead this country .
💙
It’s so sad to me.. that Republicans REFUSE to see the absolute POSITIVE things this administration has done. It’s embarrassing.
It's their job... as the opposition. Well, as Republicans.
They voted against the infrastructure bill that's bringing benefits to their states.
MAGA republicans. Thankfully, there are republicans who will vote for Harris/Walz.
They won't acknowledge them, but they'll reap the benefits of them. Typical hypocrite behavior.

before Iowa. In fact, up until a few weeks ago, the Dem overlords were trying to figure out how to get rid of or circumvent Harris. Even the liberal "The Atlantic" published an
article called "The Kamala Harris" problem. Now Dems are rallying around her as if this queen of the word salad were Joan of Arc and Jesus Christ rolled into one. SMH
Love you man
Who would have thunk? Here in the USA? A gay guy addressing a room full of rough tough men getting applause and respect and in the near future, thanks!
When he runs for President. I will vote for him
GrandPa Joe got Kamala four years of training to be ready to be the next President. Here's hoping Harris and Walz get eight years to train up Pete and a team to keep carrying on good works. Get the team sorted and stay there long enough To Get Things Done.
💯💙🇺🇸
Me too! I hope I live that long!
I will absolutely vote for him too
I cannot wait me too
He's informed, he's done the research, he's educated, & he's very likeable: a positive package all in one!
As a Truck Driver I am grateful for the bi partisan infrastructure bill. Sucks during construction for us, but way overdue. Way to go. 👏
I hope he gets an excellent position in government.
He's one of their stars.
So, it stands to reason.
He is the current United States Secretary of Transportation. That`s a pretty good position in Govenment.
Secretary of State!
He has one now!
@@JuliaJulia007would love to see it 💙
I love Pete Buttigieg! He has been the most loyal to Biden/Harris. I really hope I get to live to see him as President one day.
Me too! I’d be honored to vote for him!
Never gonna happen bud
Me too! Which is part of the reason after this election we need to work on passing the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact & ranked voting in our states!
I feel like Buttigieg could definitely carry a popular vote!
Hi, @Nana4014-x2f, and thanks for your comment. I love Pete Buttigieg and certainly envision him as our president one day. For that to happen, voters need to be informed and make informed decisions.
@@jackburton2680 Once MAGA is kicked out of GOP (So maybe already when Trump's defeated a 2nd time), they will need some time to rebuild, and if Harris does a good job, Democrats will further gain ground instead lose it. Ohio, NC and Florida might become swing states again, we'll see.
Education is not valued in the Republican world.
It's refreshing and pleasing to hear this man speak.
Well, they want to DO AWAY with the Dept. of Education!
They depend on the poorly educated for a mass that they can manipulate.
Republicans..... ... "I love the uneducated"! 😮
I could listen to Pete read out an old phone book and feel inspired. He's smart, thorough, thoughtful and generous with praise and giving credit. Just a wonderful human. Tim is perfect VP for now, as Pete needs to go higher. He is too young to peak now. I will just sit back and enjoy watching the Dems and all the incredible talent that is going to shine in the decade ahead 🌟 💙💙💙from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺
Agree. Pete is a stellar person. From South Australia
What a wonderful thing to be able to sit and listen to a public figure speak at length about specific targets, goals, plans, and achievements that show promise for the future of our country. Republicans have no one who can match Secretary Buttigieg's knowledge, eloquence, and energy. Vote Blue up and down in November. The promise and hope you hear in this speech and in those of Vice President Harris and Governor Watz should convince us all.
Never ever thought I’d watch a full speech by a Secretary of Transportation but here we are in awe of an honest, sincere and caring speaker.
me too
Exactly. Not the highest of positions but even to be nominated in the process of deeply talented governors e a senator was a testimony of his potential/worth.
He’s getting there… he will be there.
So refreshing.
hahaha sitting here listening to the whole speech and reading the comments, and was just thinking the exact same thing. But I could l listen to this man read out a recipe for tomato soup. His authenticity and intelligence make for very compelling listening every time he opens his mouth to speak it seems.
Pete Buttigieg will have my vote as long as I live. Hurry up Pete! 💙
Pete defines modern masculinity. Smart, focused, driven, hard working and not afraid to get down to brass tacks.
And not giving a toss about fake concepts like masculinity.
Well said!
Plus a loving father & husband 🎉🎉
Thanks for pointing this out.
Yes, astute comment.
Pete is doing a brilliant job building goodwill and support from union workers across the country not just for the current administration, but for his own future presidential run. Don't know when he'll ever get the chance again because we could potentially have 8 years of Harris and potentially even 8 years of Walz. The Democratic party is so fortunate to have Mayor Pete out there.
Yes!
My late parents loved Pete, and were very impressed by him! They said he will probably be President one day, but he was even younger then, and not as well known. Now that he is older, and has name recognition, he really CAN be President Someday! I bet a lot of moderate Republicans would vote for him in a heartbeat! I LOVE Pete too!
Am I the only one who appreciates listening to a man who speaks in complete sentences, paragraphs of ideas, who thanks the people who helped him get his job done, congratulates their successes. He did not tell them what he did expecting a standing ovation of appreciation. He thanked and praised them.
If you stop and consider the inspiration that people feel of a speaker like compared to trump’s the media picks on me, the Biden team picks on me, state elected officials won’t help me like they should because I helped them. See the difference. One is you made a difference and the other is poor, poor me.
Listen to the room. This man is so eloquent and articulate you can almost hear a pin drop when he speaks.
Well put!!!
I admire Pete he really cares to improve our lives. He's so efficient! Competent, educated, and intelligent. We should have more representatives in government like him. Instead of magas that they only care to get paid and do nothing for their constituents. What a difference! They only offer the despicable project 2025. Back to the 1800s. Vote blue 💙
He has something to say! Applause was puny but they heard facts. They heard about real things that have been accomplished and are ongoing good. And which most people have never heard about any of this, unless it’s in their neighborhood.
"Am I the only one..."
A great big duh.
Pete for future President!!!
Hooray, hooray !!!👍😊👍👍
2032 & 2036💙🗳️💙🗳️💙
I am a Canadian and I love this guy ❤🇨🇦
Charming, educated, well-spoken, brave, compassionate, calming. POTUS 2032!!
Yes, he’s the complete package 😊
Yes! Exactly this!! 💙
Pete for Chief Of Staff
@@cindyarent3271 calming is such an important part of this, especially these days
2028 please
Pete is so smart, refined and in touch. Presidential material
Pete’s the perfect man for the job they’ve gotten so much done. I know how much my life changed when I got my first union job we were able to buy a house. I still live in 29 years later.
"America is building like we haven't built in 70 years" THANK YOU
Pete is a national treasure. He will make a great president
I agree 100%. He has POTUS written all over him. Ideally, Harris/Walz can be in the White House for 8 years, then pass the torch to Pete & his VP!
I was looking for this comment! Absolutely!!
8 years.
This MAN is so articulate, capable and honest.
Love for Pete Buttigieg for being a wonderful speaker & our Transportation Secretary.❤❤❤
Pete's quality as a man and leader is not defined by anything other than his choice to be a good man. Thank you Secretary Pete!
Pete Buttigieg is a national treasure, and we are fortunate to have a man with his intelligence, his honesty and integrity working for the future of America. Does America know this is happening on the west coast? Perhaps one day this modern transformation in transportation can happen coast to coast, but only if we move forward, with a forward thinking administration. The Harris-Walz administration will continue with bringing good jobs while working everyday to move America forward in all ways. VOTE BLUE 💙WE'RE NOT GOING BACK
He absolutely is!!!
Well said! Totally agree with you.
🎯
Thank you, Secretary Pete. 👏🇺🇸
Pete is such a shining example of a creditable, trustworthy, intelligent public servant. He’s an endangered species. Love this guy!!!
This has been the best administration for union workers I've seen in my 50 years of being a union member I can't say enough good things about Joe Biden Kamala Harris And Pete Buttigieg
Pete is such an asset to our democracy and progressive ideas. He will always be Mayor Pete to me💙💙💙💙
My family is voting blue with you✅💙🗳️🌊
👇
Pete is one of the most amazing people I have ever seen working for us. He’s right up there with Biden and Harris. This is an amazing time for America. It will only continue if Harris and Walz become our next President and Vice President and Buttigieg and others like him get elected. Vote Democrat all the way down the ballet. Keep the excitement moving forward.
Dems definitely have a wealth of stellar folks working for the people
Pete for Secretary of State
Yes 🎉
That will be perfect!
No, SCOTUS!!!
@@dmann1115 He's not a lawyer.
This infrastructure initiative will take YEARS to implement and I think that means it will need consistency in said implementation and so I think that Pete Buttigieg will need to stay in that role for a bit.
Thank you for this podcast. Thank you secretary Pete Buttigieg Harris/Walz Pres. Biden and our Democratic Party! Blessings to the twins and to the lovely family Secretary Buttigieg.
Blew me away. Sounded like a pristine State of the Union Address. ❤🇺🇸
Sec. Buttigieg is a great speaker. He's articulate and intelligent yet humble.
"No such thing as a Democratic highway, or a Republican bridge." 💙🇺🇸
I read this just as he was saying it. Despite having four years... The Republican wall never got finished, Mexico didn't pay for it, and it did nothing to reduce immigration rates. That is all anyone needs to know about how well republicans govern.
Ummm. Republicans don't build anything.
Pete restores my faith in America
It’s good to hear a normal and well articulated person, who speaks in full sentences that have meaning and deliver a message.
He speaks in full PARAGRAPHS!
Pete for Secretary of State!
Wow, a politician speaking about policy. This is such a breath of fresh air.
Pete will be a future President 👍🏽
Hands-down the best political orator of our time, and hands-down the best message for our time.
Well said! Can’t agree more!👍👍👍
I just adore Pete. A visionary, nice, kind, honest and extremely intelligent guy.
Only in the Democratic Party can one see and experience true diversity. Vote 💙💙💙💙
The amazing thing about Pete Buttigieg is he’s young and just getting started in his political career.
I just want to say to Trump and Trump supporters, “Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way! You are way behind the times.”
We choose lead. Trump 2024 🇺🇸

He is uplifting and
inspirational and he does it with class.
Definitely agree with this 👆
Thank you Keith ❤
Pete B. is an A Class citizen- he makes us proud to be an American. Not like the deplorables who only spread lies, hatred, anger and greed. Love him!
I'm wondering why you called him Pete B and didn't spell his last name. 😂
@@SC9750-r3w Oh- I was writing fast -short cut. No reason.
@@mollym6951 Was just kidding. It's a hard name to spell without looking at it. lol
Thanks Pete, for all you do and for spreading the message of democracy in action. You are simply the best
Pete, it is refreshing to listen to you and hear about all that you, this administration, and the union workers of America are accomplishing for all of us. Keep up the good work, and thank you!
I will vote for Pete for POTUS before I die. My bucket list! 🐷
Me, too!
Pete for Chief Of Staff
For sure! 🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍
Mine too🎉🎯🇺🇸
Yessssss!!!!!!
I love Pete Buttigieg! When Harris/Walz wins, I hope Pete will be in the administration with whatever job he wants! He is top quality!!
So important to have Pete in charge of our infrastructure. Look forward to all the improvements!
A State of the Union speech on infrastructure/workers alone! Loved how he called out so many unions by name! There should be a National Union Award !
He’s so great for America! Thank you Pete. 💙🙏
I want this man to be president.
not sure American is ready unfortunately
@@jeffyoung3635 GOP is not ready, but sane people are. You will never win over the MAGA people no matter if you are a white christian demi God or anything else. They will find another fake christian rapist who lies 24/7 instead.
@@jeffyoung3635 Let's work hard to make America ready, then. That's what people said about Obama.
Love having politicians that thank people and actually know their full names and titles
Pete does his homework unlike the guy who calls people Tim Apple...
Right?
He’s brilliant
You can see how he isn’t bragging about his own role in this, but making it feel like a genuine team effort. Great leader. I hope to vote for him one day.
Who paid attention to the Secretary of Transportation before Pete?! He made the job important by doing important work. And he gets in front of the public to raise awareness. What's next for this rock star public servant? Secretary of State? His amazing communication and multi-lingual skills, military perspective, fearlessness (regularly goes on Fox) and real curiosity to hear people out are terrific assets.
Brilliant comment - I'm going to keep it in my files of great quotes!
" He made the job important by doing important work."
THANK YOU!!!!
Watching this, I’m just so impressed how immersed he is in the details of the projects and jobs involving these steelworkers & other unions. He knows his stuff! He takes it seriously! He cares! And he sees the human impact.
Pete isn’t just a figurehead or just going through the motions until he can climb the political ladder to his next position. It’s so clear he has spent the last 4 years truly doing the work of directing our transportation infrastructure and making a difference. We’re so lucky to have him.
Exactly this! 👏💙🇺🇸
I am a Canadian and I so admire this man.
Unfortunately, corporate media won't report on this. Shame on the media. VOTE BLUE FOR MORE INFASTRUCTURE!
They are too busy sucking up to Trump, throwing him softballs, and not fact checking him. Thanks for putting this out there, Keith.
Actually corperate media gives Pete quite a lot of time mostly because, as we see here, the guy has magnetism. Heck, he's on Fox regularly. Even people who don't like him, love him. I've seen him calling out people's lies to their face and you can see the lack of animosity in Pete and the respect the people he's calling out have for him. Pete is golden.
they havent they are deep in trump's bottom
Thank goodness we have channels like this and many others❤
if they are not, get out there and spread the word
Im very happy to hear Pete talk about what the American workers care about. I was fortunate to retire from my electrcal career with a pension! What an awesome thing!! I was a woman that had a great job with good wages... Very proud of my career accomplishments!! Was able to provide for my boys and help send them to college...
What a great guy! And such an eloquent speaker. I'm glad I get a chance to know him now and look forward to the day I get to cast a vote for him 💙
Love Mayor Pete, Thanks for bringing this to us, Keith
Good to see manufacturing workers who understand that the GOP are not their friends
Look at how many of the companies taking on these infrastructure projects are utilizing cheap, illegal labor sources vs hiring skilled union workers.
Wow, an amazing speech from Sec'y Pete. Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity that rarely happens, a full speech vs clips. Keith is a true patriot. Hardworking, committed, honest, sincere, and he loves our country. The best IS yet to come.👏🫂#VoteKAMALA🗳💙🥥🌴🌊
I see you also fell out of a coconut tree. ;D Cheers!
Pete is so effin cool. Nice dude, great leader, incredible communicator, AMAZING Dad/partner; he's ALWAYS taking about his family. I hope he runs in the future and becomes the first LGBTQIA President!!!
AMERICAN INGENUITY, QUALITY, PRIDE IN WORKING, JOY IN LIFE.........BUILD BACK UNIONS!!!
I hope Pete will serve as Secretary of State in the Harris administration. A great introduction to step into a future presidency. He does this country proud. Vote Blue 🌊🇺🇸
Willing to listen to both sides of a situation and Respond with well thought solutions
These are the patriots. They serve in the military and then come home to serve in government. They live a life of service to others. Thank uou Mr Buttigieg for all that you do.
I LOVE PETE!!! I hope to see him in the White House one day! So intelligent and kind
Love Pete!!
Pete is a National treasure. It's about moving forward!
