@@ilpilp7423nobody is interpreting it incorrectly. He said what he said and it’s absurd. Why would a parent get more votes? I’m a parent and it only takes 5 seconds to realize how ridiculous it is. If a couple has 5 children do they each get 5 extra votes (which would equal 10 votes for 5 people)? Or do they fraction them so that they each get 2.5 votes? You may not know this… but America has a pretty sketchy record with giving people fractions of votes… It was an absurd thing to say. It seems like all of his talking points are culture war issues that have nothing to do with actual governing, which is probably why no one takes him seriously. I don’t know a single well to do Trump supporter that thinks Vance isn’t a clown. The only reason to defend him is for political reasons, not the other way around as you stated. 😂
Vance literally said parents should have extra votes because they have a direct investment for the future. How’s was that not insulting to people without kids making them seem less worthy.
Only 82 members of the current Congress have served (18 are democrats), and there are less than 3 Cabinet members that have served. This means the majority of the body that has the authority to authorize war has never served, and should a crisis occur the majority of cabinet members who can step up as commander in chief haven’t either. Most who follow orders don’t like those numbers.
Master communicator. Super intelligent. Grounded. Real. Caring. Thoughtful. Dedicated to making our country better! Pete Buttigieg would make a GREAT pick for VP!!!
I'm hoping Madame VP Harris chooses him. I like Pete Buttigieg and he'd be a great VP. I like Mark Kelly but because I'm in AZ I believe we need to keep him here.
Democrats have a number of completely qualified individuals, who would be ready day one to step up, to choose from. I have a very hard time thinking of any comparable individual in the GOP.
what i love about pete is contrasting him with so many politicians is he fully answers questions directly and provides examples and doesnt just get caught in talking point loops his PR person told him to focus on. Compare this questioning to Sununu's from this week and you can tell which one just avoids questions and sticks to talking points with no substance
He's a good speaker and makes good points, but he also memorizes well. Every point he made in this interview, he has made in all the others. It's easy to think that a politician is saying it for the first time, but remember that they constantly go around saying the same stuff.
He and his spouse are excellent, loving, devoted parents. The kids also have wonderful grandparents; the family moved to Michigan to be close to the grandparents.

History shows that governors picked as VP candidates can't "deliver" their states. In the past century, there have only been three: Spiro Agnew, Nelson Rockefeller, and Mike Pence. We know how they turned out.
Same. The GOP always had some great people, like Senator John McCain. Trump has made a mess of the GOP and that is so sad. I have voted for Dems and GOP in the past, but this November I absolutely am voting for Harris because of what an insane and demented person Trump is. The GOP actually has a MUCH better chance to restore themselves with a Harris win. Trump is a disease to the GOP right now. 🗳💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Pete might be a good speaker, but being VP or president is about more than that. A gay president could face significant challenges in foreign policy, especially with countries like Saudi Arabia. Plus, his domestic policies could exacerbate issues like transgender athletes competing in women's sports.
@@antimediaman9354in Germany we had a female German chancellor and her secretary of state (vice chancellor) was also married to a man. No problem at all.
@@rosemimi973 "in Germany we had a female German chancellor and her secretary of state (vice chancellor) was also married to a man. No problem at all." Oh, @rosemimi973, that's cute, but comparing Germany to countries where being gay is punishable by death is like comparing apples to hand grenades. Sure, Germany had a female chancellor and a gay vice-chancellor, but they weren't dealing with regimes where those identities are criminalized. It’s not about whether we can elect leaders who break barriers; it's about understanding that not all countries are as progressive, and those differences can complicate international relations. So let's not pretend that every place in the world is as welcoming as Germany when it comes to leadership diversity.
@@rosemimi973 Also the Middle East's business dealings and influence in the U.S. are way different than in Germany. And having a gay vice-chancellor isn't the same as dealing with a gay president, especially when those countries hold the keys to vital resources like oil and have significant financial stakes here.
Always refreshing to hear PB speak! He's consistently informed, articulate, insightful, measured, and compassionate to boot. Everything you hope for in a cabinet member / public servant / VP candidate 💫
I hope it's Pete!!! I am in Aweee of this guy!!! Such intelligence and depth. He is always so eloquent and to the point. Never seen him stumble or stumped for answer especially when the Republicans are questioning him.
IMHO Buttigieg is the best choice for VP... now, not "some time when the US is mature enough". He's a great communicator and he is using that skill to go on Fox News to try and bridge the gap between liberals and conservatives, easily fending off attacks from the hosts without belittling the audience (unlike many others that dig the trench deeper by coming across as arrogant). I believe the US needs someone like that asap, and the fact that Harris/Buttigieg is the polar opposite of Trump/Vance is would thoroughly disenchant the whole MAGA movement if the Democrats were successful.
No one would have said America was ready for a black President when Obama won, or a female Black-Asian Woman Vice President when Biden and Harris won. I hope Harris continues to be bold and just trusts the voters.
Definitely future President of the United States Pete. As long as Trump doesn't get elected this year we will still be able to vote for people like Pete in the future.
For months one of my neighbors had a "Trump" sign in their yard and window. I passed it the other day and they had taken it down. In its place is a sign with the word "Freedom" on it.

For years now women in Canada get one year paid parental leave. And our economy has not collapsed. My heart goes out to new American moms who must make alternate care arrangements so soon after giving birth.
The parental leave situation in the US makes me absolutely sick. My sister is giving birth in a couple months, works as a nurse assistant and is on her feet all day for long hours -- her work pretty much tells her to suck it up, that "pregnancy isn't a disability" and she shouldn't get any "special treatment" just because she's pregnant. And she's in a state with no paid parental leave, so she will probably have to go back to work very, very soon after giving birth 😔
Pete served in USN in Afghanistan 2014-2017. Also was an armed driver for a year in and out Kabul transporting commanders avoiding explosives and traps. Speaks 8 languages.
@@Kootenay613I disagree. He’s gotten me $1,300 dollars back so far in over-delayed flight money thanks to his new rule preventing airlines from not giving refunds. Regardless of political party, that’s gotta count for something. It definitely does for my fam.
Pete is the smartest man in politics, as well as the best at communicating, debating, and just getting things done. A great American who is also an exceptional role model. Harris Buttigieg is my dream team combo
Pete Buttigieg is the closest thing to a superhero the Democratic Party has! Of the remaining candidates, he's definitely Harris' wisest pick for VP. By far the best communicator, he refuses to be bullied by today's ill-willed Republicans -- without ever needing to raise his voice or resort to exaggeration. Buttigieg actually thrives in debates and interviews, and he always comes prepared with verified facts and figures, simple analogies, and quick responses -- even when he's being grilled by Congress or far-right news hosts. His ability to convey a message with fewer words and in less time is extraordinary, and it's pure joy to watch him not only win his opponents over, but put THEM on defense! After a solid education at Harvard (degrees in History and Literature) and as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford (Politics, Economics, and Philosophy), worked as a highly paid management consultant at McKinsey & Co. and could be earning much more money than he does. But his devotion to our country led him to public service where he knew he could make a greater difference. And what a patriot! He served in our military as a Naval intelligence officer. His military experience and deep understanding of US and world history, economics, and politics uniquely position him to support Harris in international affairs. Buttigieg entered politics as a transformational mayor of South Bend, Indiana, completely changing the trajectory of a crumbling city by investing in poorer neighborhoods and infrastructure, increasing its employment rate, and much more. His educational record and his accomplishments in the corporate world, as an intelligence officer in the Navy, as a transformative mayor, as a father, and within the Biden-Harris administration make him a more qualified VP than a person decades older. He will further fire up the voters and be her best weapon in the campaign. A Harris--Buttigieg ticket will be unbeatable and give Democrats the landslide victory they need to send Trump packing!
He served in afghanistan, was a naval intelligence officer, is a Rhodes Scholar and when he speaks you can tell he is just a decent human being.

History shows that governors picked as VP candidates can't "deliver" their states. In the past century, there have only been three: Spiro Agnew, Nelson Rockefeller, and Mike Pence. We know how they turned out.
We would be fortunate to have him in the Cabinet. Secretary of State representatives him for the big gig.
Thank you. It’s Shapiro first, maybe Kelly
Pete - so smart, so humble, so classy!
Buttigieg is extremely smart, he'll be a great VP. And he would definitely destroy Vance in a VP debate.
I am a conservative and vote Republican sometimes. I love Pete’s commentary and respect his integrity.
Same. The GOP always had some great people, like Senator John McCain. Trump has made a mess of the GOP and that is so sad. I have voted for Dems and GOP in the past, but this November I absolutely am voting for Harris because of what an insane and demented person Trump is. The GOP actually has a MUCH better chance to restore themselves with a Harris win. Trump is a disease to the GOP right now. 🗳💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A good person and, in this case, an excellent orator will always be those things no matter what side you're on
you mean the guy that took 2 months off last yr for maternity leave and barely anyone noticed or his failure of being mayor in south bend Indiana?
@mikenice1204 sounds like it was running well. However Pete wasn't mayor last year ....
@@mikenice1204 It was paternity leave, and this should be the standard. It IS the standard in the rest of the civilized world.
Pete would make an amazing VP.
No disrespect but Pete would make a great president!
Pete might be a good speaker, but being VP or president is about more than that. A gay president could face significant challenges in foreign policy, especially with countries like Saudi Arabia. Plus, his domestic policies could exacerbate issues like transgender athletes competing in women's sports.
@@antimediaman9354in Germany we had a female German chancellor and her secretary of state (vice chancellor) was also married to a man. No problem at all.

"in Germany we had a female German chancellor and her secretary of state (vice chancellor) was also married to a man. No problem at all."
Oh, @rosemimi973, that's cute, but comparing Germany to countries where being gay is punishable by death is like comparing apples to hand grenades. Sure, Germany had a female chancellor and a gay vice-chancellor, but they weren't dealing with regimes where those identities are criminalized. It’s not about whether we can elect leaders who break barriers; it's about understanding that not all countries are as progressive, and those differences can complicate international relations. So let's not pretend that every place in the world is as welcoming as Germany when it comes to leadership diversity.
@@rosemimi973 Also the Middle East's business dealings and influence in the U.S. are way different than in Germany. And having a gay vice-chancellor isn't the same as dealing with a gay president, especially when those countries hold the keys to vital resources like oil and have significant financial stakes here.
Would LOVE to see Pete as the VP pick.
@@msteele0 Pick Pete Please! #Buttigieg #Harris2024
Always refreshing to hear PB speak! He's consistently informed, articulate, insightful, measured, and compassionate to boot. Everything you hope for in a cabinet member / public servant / VP candidate 💫
He's soooo, soooo, soooo, good!! I think America is ready to elect him for VP
where half the country is still prepared to vote for an orange rapist i doubt it somehow
Sure hope you are right as he is brilliant.
I think we HAVE to be ready for quality and honesty
I don’t want to rock the Harris boat, but I wish we could elect him as President. Some day after Harris 8 years.
America and the rest of the leaders of this world are not ready to support an openly gay man as VP next in line to be President.
*Me, you, WE LOOOOOVE Pete!*
What a brilliant guy. Thanking the women of The View for their courage, heart, and intelligence.
I hope it's Pete!!! I am in Aweee of this guy!!! Such intelligence and depth. He is always so eloquent and to the point. Never seen him stumble or stumped for answer especially when the Republicans are questioning him.
Not afraid to go on Fox. Cool under pressure. Extremely well spoken. We need more Petes in politics. 💙💙💙💙💙💙
He is an AMAZING COMMUNICATOR!
i really hope hes president one day
Pete ‘32
Nah too many Boeing whistleblowers found dead trying to alert the public under his watch
@@iemy2949this. I’m ready to buy a shirt. Give him a little more time for his babies to grow up.
I'm a simple man, I see a Pete Buttigieg interview, I click on the video.
@@Perserra Same! People love him! #Buttigieg #Harris2024
PICK PETE 2024
Trueee
Pete is the real deal. Intelligent, insightful, no BS spin. And he's an out & proud gay man. I've waited a long time to see this in our government.
This is a guy who WILL be president sometime in the future.
I hope that Pete has a chance to become president. As long as trump doesn't become president, and we can still vote.
I hope so
Yeah well he didn't get picked lol butti judgement would never get chosen. She picked another old man lol.
@@antimediaman9354 calm down dirty rat
IMHO Buttigieg is the best choice for VP... now, not "some time when the US is mature enough". He's a great communicator and he is using that skill to go on Fox News to try and bridge the gap between liberals and conservatives, easily fending off attacks from the hosts without belittling the audience (unlike many others that dig the trench deeper by coming across as arrogant).
I believe the US needs someone like that asap, and the fact that Harris/Buttigieg is the polar opposite of Trump/Vance is would thoroughly disenchant the whole MAGA movement if the Democrats were successful.
@@fuzzyherbivore193 Your opinion is shared by so many Americans. We’re ready for Pete! #Buttigieg #Harris2024
V-Pete NOW
Yeah, but his kids aren't even 3 yet. That's tough.
No one would have said America was ready for a black President when Obama won, or a female Black-Asian Woman Vice President when Biden and Harris won. I hope Harris continues to be bold and just trusts the voters.
Pete is a future President
Definitely future President of the United States Pete. As long as Trump doesn't get elected this year we will still be able to vote for people like Pete in the future.
Hear hear! 👏👏💙💙💙
Yes this. Great to have people like Pete working on a better future. The US is getting ready for Pete
💙🌊🌴🥥🌊💙
Exactly, PETE IS STILL YOUNG. He will get there one day. He is very bright.
I just love Secretary Pete!❤
For months one of my neighbors had a "Trump" sign in their yard and window. I passed it the other day and they had taken it down. In its place is a sign with the word "Freedom" on it.
Fantastic!! May we be able to welcome more people who can embrace this high caliber candidate.
😂😂
It’s one thing to be smart, it’s another thing to be wise. Pete is both.
Pete Buttijeg has had a HORRIBLE time as US Secretary of Transportation: on EVERY front (trucking, cargo ships, train tragedy, airports…water, land, sea & air.)
He is so eloquent 💙💙💙
Pete is a very eloquent speaker.
Secretary Pete / Mayor Pete - Thank you for your wisdom and leadership. ☺
FAA forced downing planes and Boeing whistleblower is found dead trying to alert the public. Where's this wisdom you're talking about?
Pete is such a cutie. Always enjoy listening to him speak
Cutie? huh. He looks like the guy from the cover of MAD magazine.
Pet for VP will make the country diligence, responsibility, and energy.
Ha ha, you really thought Pete was going to make it? Looks like she preferred someone who remembers when disco was popular over your guy!
calm, coherent, disciplined, smart, thoughtful, factual, not insulting. All characteristics of a decent human being. None of which the convict or Shady Vance contain.
I wish this country was mature enough to vote for Pete 😢❤❤❤
It will be eventually.
Why do people keep prolonging this mistaken statement? The USA is really ready for Pete B. Who cares who he is married to? I don't and I know many, many people that are ready for VP Buttigieg.
Hopefully, he's great
I agree, but sadly I don't think we're there yet. 😓
I really do..
He'd make a Good Vibrate VICE PRESIDENT 🌊💙🌊💙💙💙🌊💙🌊🌊💙🌊🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙🌊
Not only does Pete makes good points but he stays on point and you don't have to deal with shark attacks.
I love how he's the Transportation Secretary, but we still call him Mayor Pete. 🤣
He's being interviewed in a personal capacity. The distinction is necessary to make sure people don't confuse his personal views with the views of department that he leads
Harris has earned 310 Million! I donated today and I’m know a volunteer!! For VP Harris campaign! Im very excited 😆!!!
Buttigieg and Chasten are the most adorable couple and their kids are so cute. Can't wait to see them in the White House in my lifetime. Millenials will change the world.
Huh? No they’re not.
I liked Alyssa’s question at the end and I loved how Buttigieg answered it very vividly.
Me too
I can listen to Secretary Pete all day, with or without his Secretary hat on.
Lifting people up and bringing people together...keep it up USA! (From your Canadian friends)😃
When he is president they will still call him Mayor Pete! He is the whole package; intelligent, articulate, motivating, committed, earnest…
This dude is a talented speaker. Clarity is so important right now.
He's been doing a good job all over the talk shows.
And he's been everywhere - including doing so well on Fox...
Pete Buttijeg has had a HORRIBLE time as US Secretary of Transportation: on EVERY front (trucking, cargo ships, train tragedy, airports…water, land, sea & air.)

@@Riley0509 Pick Pete Please! #Buttigieg #Harris2024
Why are they calling him Mayor Pete….instead of Secretary Pete?
@@Mkp2375he’s being interviewed in a personal manner. He’s not allowed to have a political interview in his capacity as the Secretary of Transportation.
He’s following the rules.
@@Mkp2375 He wasn’t there on official business.
He is a Sitting Cabinet Member, why is she calling him Mayor ???...It's Mr. Secretary !
Has to be a separation from his professional capacity as this is a political interview.
It’s a way to try to demote him.
@@joseduarte8244, he sets the parameters. Not them. This happened on multiple networks.
When he ran for president he used Mayor Pete. It's a throwback nickname that's all, highlights his capabilities to connect with everyday folk. Still a bit disrespectful but I think of him as Mayor Pete just based on how likeable he is lol
@@Kat32839 Cabinet Position TRUMPS ( Bad Choice ) Mayor.....
That’s right Pete! 1st term of Chump is not to be romanticized. You consistently hold your own💯

I love Sec. Pete B . Even if Pres. Harris doesn't choose him as VP, Pres. Harris has to have him high up in her cabinet!!!
She definitely will! 👏💙💙
Sec. Of State!?
Pete as Sec. Of state in her cabinet would be a no brainer!!!
@@hipking23no doubt about that💙
He is overqualified but he would be a fantastic Press Secretary.
As though people who don’t have kids are not part of our family, or any family. Vance is discusting!
Ummm... For our family, my kids favorite birthday and Christmas gifts and their favorite house guests, were their single, due to choice, aunt and their gay uncle...... they spent more on them were ten times more thoughtful, never asking for a list but bought based upon our kids interest. They knew our kids. And, as a house guest.... my brother spent weeks teaching my son how to drive.... enough said. Family is family, whether gay or straight.
@@brad3706 thx for saying that ;)
Vote BLUE 💙💙💙💙🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙
*disgusting
I'm thrilled that Vance is NOT part of my family!!!
For years now women in Canada get one year paid parental leave. And our economy has not collapsed. My heart goes out to new American moms who must make alternate care arrangements so soon after giving birth.
The parental leave situation in the US makes me absolutely sick. My sister is giving birth in a couple months, works as a nurse assistant and is on her feet all day for long hours -- her work pretty much tells her to suck it up, that "pregnancy isn't a disability" and she shouldn't get any "special treatment" just because she's pregnant. And she's in a state with no paid parental leave, so she will probably have to go back to work very, very soon after giving birth 😔
He can be awesome at anything he’s assigned to do
Saying "weird" or "strange" are adjectives. That isn't name calling -- it's pointing out behavior. Flat all calling names is what Trump does.
Pete served in
USN in Afghanistan 2014-2017. Also was an armed driver for a year in and out Kabul transporting commanders avoiding explosives and traps. Speaks 8 languages.
Secretary of State perfect fit.
It is too bad that hillbillies see no value in him.
He's been an abject failure in Transportation.
@@Kootenay613I disagree. He’s gotten me $1,300 dollars back so far in over-delayed flight money thanks to his new rule preventing airlines from not giving refunds. Regardless of political party, that’s gotta count for something. It definitely does for my fam.
@@rd8525 I'm sincerely glad that you got prompt service. I'll bet the people of East Palestine wish that they had too.
Why isn’t he a top pick already?! He’s the best speaker
Young kids. Gay in an intensely homophobic time.
Pete is such a good speaker.
Pete is the smartest man in politics, as well as the best at communicating, debating, and just getting things done. A great American who is also an exceptional role model. Harris Buttigieg is my dream team combo
Me too!!! Pete for VP then President!!! LOVE HIM
I hope Kamala picks Pete. He has a good appeal and is articulate. He would be a great VP.
@@brown610 Yes! Pick Pete Please! #Buttigieg #Harris2024
Yeah I don't want Shapiro because he's trying to be Obama so bad.
I could listen to Pete Buttigieg speak all day! He's such an amazingly affective communicator!
*effective
Vance is the most disingenuous candidate I have ever seen!!
Yes and we love it.
Trump picked the perfect FAILURE 😮
Weird Donnie picked him after JD called him Hitler. Sick also. But that's Donnie.
No that's the top of the ticket
I womder how jd Vance’s wife feels about all this??
He was chosen only because he is a loyalist and will do ANYTHING asked of him. Dictators need loyalists!
The world needs more people like him. He's smart, fair and selfless. I am not an American, just an observer
Thank you for posting this!
What he said about my Mike Pence was spot-on
FREEDOM💙💙💙💙💙💙
Wow Mr. Pete deserves a raise for being an excellent communicator.
Thank you for pointing out the issue
Pete Buttigieg is the closest thing to a superhero the Democratic Party has! Of the remaining candidates, he's definitely Harris' wisest pick for VP. By far the best communicator, he refuses to be bullied by today's ill-willed Republicans -- without ever needing to raise his voice or resort to exaggeration. Buttigieg actually thrives in debates and interviews, and he always comes prepared with verified facts and figures, simple analogies, and quick responses -- even when he's being grilled by Congress or far-right news hosts. His ability to convey a message with fewer words and in less time is extraordinary, and it's pure joy to watch him not only win his opponents over, but put THEM on defense! After a solid education at Harvard (degrees in History and Literature) and as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford (Politics, Economics, and Philosophy), worked as a highly paid management consultant at McKinsey & Co. and could be earning much more money than he does. But his devotion to our country led him to public service where he knew he could make a greater difference. And what a patriot! He served in our military as a Naval intelligence officer. His military experience and deep understanding of US and world history, economics, and politics uniquely position him to support Harris in international affairs. Buttigieg entered politics as a transformational mayor of South Bend, Indiana, completely changing the trajectory of a crumbling city by investing in poorer neighborhoods and infrastructure, increasing its employment rate, and much more. His educational record and his accomplishments in the corporate world, as an intelligence officer in the Navy, as a transformative mayor, as a father, and within the Biden-Harris administration make him a more qualified VP than a person decades older. He will further fire up the voters and be her best weapon in the campaign. A Harris--Buttigieg ticket will be unbeatable and give Democrats the landslide victory they need to send Trump packing!
