OMGggggggg I know Mayor Pete have pictures w him and my family when we lived in South Bend. He is the NICEST MOST COMPASSIONATE person. He is really this genuine in person. It's crazy seeing him on TV like this!!!!!
Mr. Lightning Bolt pence has some extreme beliefs. He has supported the lying, cheating sexual predator in the WH and he establishes a Christian value in selecting trump.
@@johnf.kennedy8085 This might not be the specific reason but on Pence's Governor campaign website he has a section about defunding Planned Parenthood and putting that money into conversion therapy. Sure Planned Parenthood may go against his "good Christian values" so sure make the decision to defund it. But he doesn't stop there, he wanted to take that money and use it to "convert" homosexuals like Buttigieg. While you could argue that those "therapies" were meant for people who want to change their sexual orientations, it would also allow parents to FORCIBLY put their children into those programs.
The more I hear, read and learn about Pete Buttigieg the more I like him. He’s well grounded, intelligent, authentic, refreshing, appears trustworthy and has an excellent story. He’s a serious dark horse candidate! I’m a fan! 🇺🇸Pete Buttigieg 2020🇺🇸
Great! He's the best I've seen in over forty years of voting, the first I have been excited about since Phil Crane in 1980. I am so tired of voting against candidates, it will be refreshing to vote for him.
Well damn, I am impressed! I immediately wrote this guy off when he announced his run thinking he was a shallow Millennial. I'm so glad I watched this and equally humbled by my rush to judgement. Mr. Buttigeig, you've got my attention. Well DONE on the interview!
Shallow millennial? Millennials actually care about the content and quality of our government. That myth has been promoted by the boomers and "greatest generation" as a way to count us out before we even have a chance to get involved. We are actually more politically active than Gen Xers were at this age. Millennials are the largest voting block in the country now. We are gonna make things happen.
@@gregfaber3417 Wrong. Millennials always want things easy, are self-involved, never work hard, do not read anymore and substitute social media for real relationships. Go text someone a bunch of emojis and STFU!
@@brynperry7281 Sounds like someone with very little to zero experience with actual Millennials. As someone of the older generation, who has worked a bunch with Millennials, I say you really couldn't be more wrong. Sure, some millennials are lazy, but there are also plenty of lazy asses in my generation and in every generation. To pain that broad brush on an entire generation is really quite stupid. But the majority that I have worked with definitely work quite hard, read more than you'd think, and do have real relationships with each other and with members of younger and older generations. And some of the most selfless people I've ever met have been millennials.
I was raised in South Bend and have met Pete. He is a genuine, kindhearted, and passionate leader who would make such a positive impact on our country! I’m lucky to have called him my mayor, but I hope one day we can all call him our president :)
hersha people in my state of VT are longing for him. This is Bernie’s state..... I might have to go with my gut here. My vote may actually change. This man is incredible.
On Twitter, I said that Mayor Pete would be perfect to go against Trump because he is the opposite of e EVERYTHING Trump is. A person, who I am guessing is a Trump supporter, said that some people in Indiana believe that Mayor Pete was trying to force them into supporting the lgbtq community or they were being pushed out of South Bend , and that because of that he's made himself unable to be elected in South Bend anymore hence running for president. Of course I didn't believe that to be true. First of all, in 2019 someone is forcing someone to believe something they don't and then that someone starts running for president with that skeleton in their closet? I mean can anyone from Indiana tell me if they have heard something about this?
Carol Manyeruke .. what? Lol think about what he is proposing - oh that’s right... nothing. He has no policies, no platform. You choose your president based off what?!? Emotions? Yikes
Carol, he is taking corperate money, ran a meeting with the dnc to take down bernie (confirmed by the new york times) and has legit 0 policies, please do more research or check out Andrew yang/bernie sanders
@@jimvelez7307 - Like all cities and towns big and small, there are always places where you can point to if you are looking for problems like urban blight, socioeconomic disparity, etc. When he was governor, what did Mike Pence ever do to help South Bend, the fourth largest city in Indiana? Furthermore, as VP, why does Pence hypocritically lend his support to a POTUS who clearly violates most - if not all - of the conservative "Christian family values" that he claims to espouse? Don't make the mistake of insinuating that "all the abandoned properties throughout the city" are the result of Pete Buttigieg's doings. He was born in 1982, and the issues that have plagued South Bend for decades even before his birth are actually being addressed by him as its current second-term mayor. To put the issue you have raised in proper context, you should consider these facts from Wikipedia: "The population of South Bend declined after 1960, when it had a peak population of 132,445. This was chiefly due to migration to suburban areas as well as the demise of Studebaker and other heavy industry. Today, the largest industries in South Bend are health care, education, small business, and tourism. Remaining large corporations include Crowe Horwath, Honeywell, and AM General. Recently, the city population has started to grow for the first time in nearly fifty years. The old Studebaker plant and surrounding area, now called Ignition Park, is being redeveloped as a technology center to attract new industry. The city has also been featured in national news coverage for Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has achieved recognition for his various economic development projects within the city…" Contrary to what some conservatives may want to believe, the traditional labor forces and manufactured goods produced by heavy industry of the past won't be coming back, but are being replaced with new technology, computer automation and robotics.
Obama was young and could get nothing change. Experience is a good thing. Bernie Sanders has just as many years as a Mayor as this guy, except Bernie has 28 years in congress on top of that. He is anti-establishment too, unlike this kid.
Please help spread the good word. I strongly believe social media is the key to unlocking success like Bernie's social media rise the last time around, except now the dnc has been exposed
You should see the way he bats away questions about "socialism" that media pundits love to ask. He's very good at turning things on their head and making it obvious how shallow they are.
I'm 100% with you. I'm 26 and a teacher, and I'm starting to think that voting for another 70-year-old is not how I want my voice to be heard. Not only that, but, watching Mayor Pete's interviews, he is so impressive. He answers every question effortlessly and honestly, and his policies are about results. And, I mean, come on: Harvard educated, a Rhodes scholar, an Afghan vet, and he's gay? Aaron Sorkin couldn't have written this better.
environmental scientist eh? get well, buddy, I feel ya. once in a while, do what makes you happy, you're important to all of us edit: I'm assuming that all environmental scientists are depressed. if you're not, good for you
retron phil5 Bernie doesn’t talk like an aristocrat and actually stands behind the same positions he’s had since 2000bc.. not having policy points is an easy way for him to flip flop and appear more honest. Also he’s been meeting with corporate dems at “stop Bernie” dinners. Don’t fall for this act pls
retron phil5 I would rather a candidate take stands behind policy positions and not be able to deliver 100% than vote for someone based on how many languages he speaks and how “smart” he is. To each their own I guess
@no bot Yes, Trump lies and his followers love it. But if Buttigieg wins the nomination, he'll devour Trump with intelligence, wit and humor. Besides, he's such a nice guy-thoughtful, compassionate, humble-any attempt by Trump to demean him will backfire. Have hope. America's woke-way more of us than Trump followers and if you noticed in the mid term election, way more of us voting than ever before.
@@smooth_concrete I agree. Hillary's strategy was to look like the intelligent, reasonable, sane one against Trump in debates but he still won. I'm concerned that Pete needs to do more. Kalama Harris seems more slick and can handle getting a bit filthy by trolling Trump. Bernie Sanders is equally loud and angry but also more likeable than Trump. I really like Pete but sadly just being smart and eloquent isn't enough. Pete's advantage, however, is that he can pull in votes from moderate voters and the crucial Midwest states.
I think we operate under a false understanding here. There is only one person who makes President Trump look pathetic in a public debate, and that is himself.
Yeah, except he is in no way qualified to be the leader of the world. Only experience is mayor of tiny town. He accepts Wall Street Money. He keeps bragging he was a mayor but we have plenty of candidates in the race who were mayors too and they have even more experience than him. He needs to stop being ageist. I’d take 100 Bernie’s over this kid who would be our own elitist Macron.
ScootMagoot46 South Bend is a tiny town? Lol 100k+ people isn’t tiny by any measure. He’s more qualifies than the current President of the US by FAR. Did you even listen to a thing the man said?
@@blackout07blue He doesn't accept Wall Street money, and it makes literally no sense for Wall Street to give money to the mayor of a small Indiana city. you make no sense.
@@blackout07blue You say he's "ageist" and then you also refer to him as a kid. His experience is relevant. His military experience, his political experience, and his generational experience. He's speaking with a voice that a whole lot of people- not just young generations- want to hear. He is peaceful, mindful, well-spoken, *soft*-spoken, earnest. Frankly, I'd say you, knowing little about him, are being "ageist" by assuming he's too young and inexperienced for the job!
Lol. He hardly as any political experience, he’s funded by corrupt Big Money, and he’s not remotely about taking on the corrupt elites, party bosses, or lobbyists.
van wray How long did it take you to come up with that? Name calling is childish, immature, and gets us nowhere. It’s what the current president spends his time doing. You could at least be civil and respect some of the points each of them have, even if you disagree with some.

I don’t mean this the wrong way but I think it’s because it’s the year of the woman and we have Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand (where’s she been?), Amy Klobuchar and Tulsi Gabbard
@@depressedgaysassyitalianre5748 - it would be kind of ironic if in the race to get the first woman in the white house we end up with the first male President + "First Gentleman" instead :P
@@depressedgaysassyitalianre5748 Yeah, I thought that too. It's unfortunate in a way. However, I can also see all of those women potentially running into problems of their own making on the campaign trail, so who knows?
Anna Lu Research yang. He’s much better choice for pres. this guys talks a big game but at 37 and basically zero policy or platform it shows you choose your presidents by emotions ... bad idea
So a guy with no policies should be president because he sounds pretty cool? How about you just don't vote. Let people who care about policy and the future of the country vote.
Wallace Keith Duncan Jr. On what basis?? He didn't reveal a single policy position! America needs to stop voting on feels and start taking the position of presidency serious.
@ms wpwm Having more experience that Trump is way too low a bar, and as much as I dislike Pence, I don't see how this small town mayor gets to claim to have more experience than the former governor of Indiana. Again, for all his claimed experience, he did not state what his policy positions on war are, or on any other issue. Am I supposed to just trust his judgement and dismiss my own thoughts on the issue just because he's a vet? If Bernie doesn't run I would probably very well be voting for a young millennial veteran, and it would be Tulsi Gabbard. At least I know what her policy positions are and agree with most of them, including her stance on wars.
I felt none of the current democrats running for president was what we needed. Until i herd of this guy. My God! Thank you for putting him out there. I think he has what it takes. He has my vote.
Do you know anything about his actual policy proposals, or are you just choosing a candidate based on charm and charisma? Don’t be stupid and fall for the media darling of the day. RESEARCH. His record is not good, and he is no progressive as he claims.
Yang gang. Do your research silly. He has zero platform. Don’t choose your president off of emotions and “he feels right” - fucker has corporate donors.. yang has 70+ proposed policies on his site
@@stephlynn1982 YOU NEED TO RESEARCH peteforamerica.com/issues/ here are his policied divided in security, freedom and democracy. The real problem here is he is gay so he could make our kids gay #NoHomoInUS
Mika is right, he's like the Mr. Rogers of the prospective Presidential candidates. Calm, authentic, honest and cute in that midwestern kind of way. Really nice change. I could see myself voting for him.
Agreed 💯%. Pete Buttigeig is precisely what this country, and the world, needs at this moment in history. Next to true leadership like the prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern (also 37 yrs old), my generation is breaking through the stimied barriers of fascism, and it's truly inspiring.
Except Mr. Rogers actively told gay people he knew to tone that down and make it less of a part of their personality. I can't speak for his religious views, but if he truly followed the Bible and the mandate of love like he publicly showed for decades, he would know that homosexuality is undeniably and categorically wrong. "Therefore, whoever knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin."- James 4:17 I personally want to vote for Pete if he makes it through the primaries and becomes the nominee (unlikely, since it will probably be Biden), but I cannot allow the normalization of homosexuality.
@@brandondavidson4085 According to the documentary about him, he reversed that stance in later years and was ashamed of asking people to hide who they are. And as Buttigeig says in this vid - you have a problem with his homosexuality? Take it up with his creator. God makes people gay and we're made in God's image. Ergo - God created homosexuality. Who are we to demonize God's creation?
@@MKPiatkowski No, I hated that statement too. That's like saying God creates people who are habitual liars or thieves, or people who cheat on their spouses are born that way. God does not create anyone to sin.
@@brandondavidson4085 let's face it we ha e no idea of the authorship of said book. And the contradictions in some places and savagery in othets gives me pause.
There are a shit ton of candidates, no one makes time for a mayor no one has heard of. And they haven't heard of him because they don't make time for him.
well , he made it into Colbert time.. not many people make it there so I say he is getting more than a regular mayor ...and that's good.. hope he makes it ...but honestly, whoever makes it as the candidate , has a greater chance of winning next year 👍
Because he’s really not qualified to be president based on experience. I have a local mayor in my town and the town next over that are way more qualified than him.
I'm from South Bend and we love Pete! He's so involved and personable, and his husband is so sweet. He's trustworthy and has done a lot for the city. I hope his campaign really picks up steam! YEET PETE !!
@@beccalowry6437 He has twins now. He and his husband adopted a boy and girl that are fraternal twins. Penelope Rose and Joseph August (Gus) Buttigieg. He took 8 weeks or so (out of 12 permitted to Federal Employees) of paternity leave as Secretary of Transportation and the Republicans went crazy.
He's the first candidate I can say I'm truly excited about. He's talking about things that I consider important, even as a woman over 50, so he's not just appealing to millennials.
Trump who? Guy speaks 7 languages, and one of them isn't Money. Also he is openly Gay, and will be attacked for this unfortunately, by people who do not know how to separate Church from State. He's got my support so far, atleast to participate, and to state his points. Good luck to Pete!
You are looking at all the wrong things. POLICIES and RECORD are what matter. For the love of god people, don’t get fooled again. This guy is not what he appears to be. Don’t follow the media’s love fest blindly. Who cares if he speaks several languages and is gay? This isn’t a personality contest people.
@@stephlynn1982 It is when dealing with foreign policy, having someone who is well spoken, and versed in other things besides just Murica, is an important characteristic of a leader, and our president. I agree policies matter, but how are we getting fooled if he's just started running?
This just show how stupid you and most people are. You just decided to vote for someone who didn't offer anything concrete. Just because of an eight minute interview on a talk show.
You literally just decided who to be president off a 7 minute interview. Why is this comment section full of morons? Buttigieg doesn't even support Medicare for All and has already backpedaled on it.
The Humanity Most people who watch Stephen Colbert are dumb. Did you watch the interview where Colbert smeared Tulsi? He is just part of a system that benefits him.
I donated to his campaign last week. It looks like he'll get into the debates. I may start volunteering for him soon. If you want to help see him make it, a donation to his campaign would be very helpful! He's not independently wealthy and does not have a lot of name recognition, so every bit makes a big difference.
I’ve listened to a lot of candidates so far, and mayor Pete is the only one who gives me that “Obama feeling “. I just want to hear him all the time. I love Bernie too, and Elizabeth... but this guy. In the early stages we all gotta be open, but very excited for our progressive candidates. Hoping no one will do he down and dirty politics. We’re better than that! Don’t tear the movement apart like the gop wants! Health care for all! Education for all! This is America. Let’s continue to make our stake in being one of the greatest countries in the world.
He definitely has Obama's charm and class. Hopefully his policies will be better though. Because Obama's lack of those gave us Trump.. At least the Dem field is looking way more interesting now than just Queen Hillary.
Viva LaVlogz Exactly... I’m down with that. I don’t think forcing folks into a policy that they aren’t comfortable with is the way to bring us together. However, I believe that , like Medicare , most will see the benefits and jump on board. Change is hard, but I’ll be damned if we can’t change people’s minds into realizing that health care is a universal right, as is education. How can those things be bad for our country?
@@margaretmccollister6124 The problem with a Medicare buy-in like Mayor Pete is suggesting is that you don't get the majority of the economic benefits you'd get through medicare-for-all and you won't get universal coverage. By streamlining the system, removing profit margins and putting everyone on a single plan you can cut out redundancies, lower costs and provide better care for everyone. Without removing the for profit healthcare system there's no way to get the costs down to make the program sustainable long term. Healthcare rates will continue to rise, people will still go bankrupt because private healthcare companies refused to cover x or y. Not to mention the republicans, pharmaceutical and health insurance companies will fight you tooth and nail regardless of whether you go for a full measure (med-4-all) or half measure (buy-in) so you mine as well go for the full measure because it's provides better care at lower prices and covers EVERYONE. As to this... "I don’t think forcing folks into a policy that they aren’t comfortable with is the way to bring us together." Sometimes you have to do what's right and trust that people will come along eventually. I mean if we didn't then we'd still have slavery today. That's what leading looks like. The only reason people are afraid of a single payer system is fear mongering and propaganda. Medicare-4-all type systems have successfully existed in every other modern nation for decades. And everyone of those countries pays less and has better results. The only way to push aside the propaganda is to let the citizens see the results first hand when they're seeing their same doctors without having to worry about premiums or surprise medical expenses. When they experience it for themselves and realize it's nothing scary, most will come around.
@@DapperMudkip So there is no difference between Christianity and Stoicism or Buddhism? That is an illiterate claim.

ConservativeAnthem ConservativeAnthem ConservativeAnthem absolutely pathetic, you’ve yet to bring up a single fact. That’s a really cute use of the thesaurus there, but it’s still playground talk. I never said the Bible is an illusion, it’s a great source of virtue but it is unfortunately not written by a prophet. It’s safe to assume that contemporaries mortal prejudices seeped in, no? As a matter of fact, there’s even talk of the homophobic verses being mistranslations. I would tell you to go do research on the biology of this topic and return with a viable argument, but that’s clearly asking too much of you. If you can’t muster a shred of tolerance to look past his sexuality and see all the good he is doing, then you are truly and utterly lost. Humanity is moving forward and closed minded fools such as yourself will eventually be flushed out. It’s already begun. It’s just a matter of time now.
I never heard of him until this interview. Now I just came back to this video again after watching all his recent interviews. Who cares about his age and sexuality!? He seems like a really good contender to be the president. I would vote for him
Check out his speech at the mayor' conference a few weeks ago www.c-span.org/video/?c4776140/white-house-hopeful-pete-buttigieg-addresses-us-conference-mayors
It may seem like this guy doesn't have enough political experience, being "only" a mayor of a city of about 100,000... but it should be noted that he's a graduate of Harvard (BA in history and literature) and Oxford (MPhil in philosophy, politics, and economy... aka "PPE", and interdisciplinary degree. He was a Rhodes Scholar there). So the guy has 7 years of public office administration experience, maybe not the biggest of offices but big enough that I have no doubt he'd listen to his advisers, and an administration under his leadership would be organized and sane. On top of that, he has several years spent busting his ass in interdisciplinary studies which cover a wide range of the expertise one should have to hold such a high office. So I'm pretty sure this guy would know what to do, if and when he gets there.
I love that someone did their research on him too. he is smart, intelligent and articulate and wants to use his talents to better society for everyone. he could hv gone into the private sector and made money for himself but he did this and also served in Afghanistan. as far as I'm concerned he's the most qualified candidate yet. @CNN give him a town hall too
If you check on his record, he appears to have done a remarkable job of revitalizing South Bend during his terms, as well. He seems quite innovative, in ways that benefit the citizens.
And what matters is that he has experience period compared to Mr Bone Spurs. Celebrities with no form of political experience on their resume should not be allowed to run. And I live in South Bend, I really like Pete and I’m backing him all the way!
This was the first interview I ever saw of Pete Buttigieg. When he walked out I said man just another white bread candidate.... And then he opened his mouth and I went oh s*** nevermind. After seeing everything he has to say and watching his campaign grow I can honestly say he has my full support.
Mother Time I do hope he doesn’t get shrill when irritated and that he smiles a lot. Also that he doesn’t dress provocatively, or dowdy. Or call his wife mother.
Wow! Pete Buttigieg is exactly the guy who should be leading America. Calm, collective, intelligent, thoughtful, caring, warm...He is the man and he has my vote. Go Pete!
No, he is not. Where are his actual policies? Look at his record in his town. He is the gentrification king, and he was payed well for it. Having secret dinners with Pelosi, Schumer, CAP and big donors to derail another candidates campaign? Does that sound like a progressive to you?
Please do research, pete has 0 policy proposals and relies on the fact that he is gay and a veteran to gain supporters. Check out andrew yang you wont be disappointed
As someone who lives in a country with a 38 year old woman currently running it (New Zealand,) I think he is right about the age issue. Nice to know you have someone potentially running for president that seems like decent forward thinking actual human being. It is a pity I have little faith in someone like him getting the job in the short term though, given the very divided state of the US currently.
I am a RINO (e.g. Registered Republican with conservative-leaning political views who recognizes that the GOP sold us out years ago to pander to Religious fanatics and even racists). I vote for the best candidate on the ticket. I have voted for POTUS candidates from 3 different political parties over that last 3 elections (McCain, Obama, and Johnson). From what I can tell, there are only 2 Democrats that I would consider voting for right now: Pete B. and Tulsi G. I might consider voting for someone else if one of those two is in the VP slot. It is a shame that neither of them, especially Pete B., has the same level of notoriety as the other frontrunners... and I suspect that the DNC will suppress them since they don't raise as much money as their vapid "peers." Guess that we'll wait and see...
As someone who can vote for the first time in 2020, I think that this man has the potential to strike a chord with a lot of new Gen Z voters. I'm certainly interested to see how his campaign develops
Of all the people on that debate stage I thought he was the most articulate, well spoken, and the least angry. But, America chose Biden and we’ll just have to wait things out.
Walker Wolff you are going to vote someone in based of good interviewing skills. Yea. You shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Any polices? None. Any platform he’s running on? None. Does he feel right to you? Yes. Lol use your brain and listen to this idiot that massages your emotions and calms your trump lingerings. Please help build a society for the future and check out Andrew yang. 70+ proposed policies, ubi, he doesn’t play identity politics, well read and spoken. He’s quite possibly the greatest candidate for president we have had in the last 60 years
I'm glad he's doing a lot of Press and getting airtime. He's been on Colbert, MSNBC, The View, Vice and even Fox News so he's covering a wide net which is smart. And I've seen nothing but positive comments for him (even on Fox News!). He might not win the primaries over Bernie, Beto or Kamala Harris, but I hope he might consider being a running mate if asked, because he's clearly knowledgeable about the crucial Rust Belt states. If he DOES win the primaries though he's definitely got my vote. Either way, I can see this man becoming President at some point, maybe in the future. Getting serious Kennedy-Obama charming vibes from him.
@Dragon Fox oh, so, it's left that can't meme, when "the left can't meme" and "libtard cucks" are the right's only memes? Having only two (overused) memes is the definition of "can't meme"
@Dragon Fox "Some of us have better things to do." ... he says on a TH-cam comment section without a lick of self-awareness. Listen... I didn't mean to trigger you by pointing out your own inadequacy. It's been over a day. Let it go.
@Dragon Fox: sure, they "should" have nothing to do with each other -- two separate issues, both important, but unrelated, right? Sounds good in theory... but in REALITY, racial disparities in terms of local environmental conditions (e.g. air pollution levels) are a huge issue. And on a global level, environmental issues are a huge issue for *everyone*. So, we need to work on both, and they need to be worked on together, because, in our current reality, they're linked. To say otherwise is either ignorant or, lacking ignorance of the above, itself a racist thing.
ED S: do you actually think that being gay is the only thing he cares about? Is being (I presume) straight (and if the presumption is wrong, then being whatever you consider your sexual orientation to be) the only thing you care about??
Dragon Fox: I don't think global warming is racist, I think polluters point their pollution towards brown folks, because our racist society is more prone to letting them get away with it that way. I think this because there's abundant evidence of it. Why do you think that this belief somehow got us Trump? I'm trying to understand how you're thinking about this, because... if I'm doing something that got us Trump, I want to unpack it and change behavior.
Listening to him all the way from kampala, he’s speeches and takes on different issues is so refreshing not in “sensationalistic” way either . He strikes at you in a very deep and profound way it will be interesting following his journey ...
On point, articulate, forward thinking, good work/life experience, succinct and direct answers- wish he was here in Australia! Get behind him America- "Pete for President"
as a young lesbian who's aspiring to be a politician, this is so inspiring to me. that I'm gay is never going to be the third thing that people learn about me (I have a buzzcut for god's sake) but your laissez-faire attitude is just so encouraging to me. this video made me cry and I wish you all the best of luck in this race. love from england ✌️
This kid could do it! I say "kid" because I am 55 and I have a daughter who is 34. Seriously, he could do it with enough support. I love everything he stands for, and as a traveler, I have loved South Bend a lot more since he has been Mayor. Kudos to Pete! He's got my vote!
*have it worse Not to be a nitpick, but there is a pretty major difference between these two statements. But yes, overall, I completely and utterly agree.
Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand Prime Minister, is the same age and she is the best leader of a country in the world. Witness her courage, leadership, values and compassion. And she is a new mother. Things are changing for the better. Go Pete! 🙏🏻❤️
Platitude Pete is a pretender. Don't trust politicians who deliberately keep their policy positions vague, no matter how intelligent and insightful they may seem.
Research yang. He’s much better choice for pres. this guys talks a big game but at 37 and basically zero policy or platform it shows you choose your presidents by emotions ... bad idea
I totally agree. Jacinda Ardern doesn't brown nose to any gun lobby like that POS, sorry POTUS of yours does along with all his sycophants. She has changed the gun ownership laws in New Zealand and even though they were behind Australia at least she had the guts and decency to do something about it. Not like that whining Trump who doesn't even talk the talk let alone walk it.
I've seen this Mayor Pete address a crowd of hundreds of legislators, and government officials alike and honestly he is more charismatic, smart, logical, and direct than even this interview could project. He's eloquent, knowledgeable and most of all diplomatic. I think we could use a little diplomacy right now.
He is articulate and charismatic. But could he be electable as a gay man? Too many Americans are homophobic and I fear it could hurt anyone else’s ticket to run with him, even as V.P. I definitely like him, though!
@@clarecohn1270 the reason we still have this kind of thought and talk just show how shallow and backward our society still is. Judging people's eligibility and competency base on age, orientation and race.
@@clarecohn1270 I understand what you are saying, and the realism you are bringing, but you have to stop using that argument. That argument is what led the DNC to be the centrist-s#$% hole it has been for so long. We need to stop thinking about "getting to the center" and start thinking of how to pull the center to the left. The republicans do not have this issue, and look at how far right we have been moving these last few decades.
@@ChineduOpara I already have and that's my point, he doesn't represent any issues. He represents platitudes. It's pretty indicative that every time anyone asks about his policies his supporters always tell them it google them. No one ever names any.
@@ChineduOpara Sure, I guess you mean Republican state (!) laws that encourage discrimination against LGBTQ members under the guise of religious freedom. I'm not exactly sure what a president can do about that other than rally against it, it seems like something for the states and courts to figure out. But maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's some federal law he can push through congress that would help the situation. But is this really a signature issue of his? I've watched many interviews with him and I've never seen him be more concrete than just hinting at being good for the LGBTQ community (mostly merely by virtue of being gay). I don't mean to be deliberately adverse, if I had ever seen him argue for certain federal laws that would help prevent discrimination of the LGBTQ community I honestly wouldn't be here arguing that he's a zero-issue candidate.
But he has no policy proposals... How can you vote for someone when you don't know what he will do as president Check out Andrew yang, he has 90 policies and is super smart
@@olivers-g4021 Yang supporters are annoying. They keep spamming the Pete videos with these whiny comments. Do yourself a favor and stop. There must be a better way that doesn't make your candidate look worse.
@@thomasnorb4077 actually good point, sorry for sounding annoying. Pete seems very smart i guess we just get really inspired by yang, i will stop though
@@Ex0dus111 You had Bernie Sanders and Marco Rubio just to give you two bipartisan examples. In all due honesty Hillary Clinton is the only one at fault at this moment for the disastrous president you guys have now. I mean Trump is a joke literally is dragging the good name of your nation to the gutter. I don't think that your international standing will be fix in the next 20 years. We all now know that America the supposed beacon of freedom in the world is compose of no less than a 35% racist population. That is mind blowing!
@@jackb8469 You must be either a Russian Troll or a hillbilly that literally had to use a clothes hanger to get internet signal to post this message hahaha...
Initially I felt certain way about him but after listening to him I changed my mind for good. He is interesting and he reminds me of Obama(excitement, joy and happiness) regardless of his sexual orientation.
Yes. He's way different. His ideas are interesting. My first thought was JFK/Obama and the enthusiasm surrounding their campaigns/election. Wicked smart, witty and great sense of humor. Buttigieg speaks 7 languages fluently, as well.
Funny story: I took my parents on an afternoon sailing ⛵️ tour on Lake Michigan a couple years ago, and the captain and his wife were quite friendly, and I was learning about sailing from them. He explained the sails and the rigging, etc. A few minutes later during a pause, I told him "Hey, I like the cut of your jib." 😂😂😂 (A jib is something to do with the 2 big sails, and the cut of the jib is how they're tied off or their angle to the wind; something to that effect.) I told him I secretly just always wanted the chance to say that phrase and this was my once in a lifetime opportunity! PS: if you have the chance and want a great gift for mothers/Father's Day or birthdays, take your parent(s) out on a rented sailing tour. It wasn't terribly expensive (perhaps $25-30/person) and the sailors are typically just individual families who own modest sailboats and this is a way for them to earn a little money to go sailing on a day they'd probably be sailing anyway. Our boat could probably carry 20-30 people and had a downstairs / below deck (whatever it's called) with couches and chairs and a bathroom/toilet. The family even served us soda from their fridge.
Less than your parents meaning when you will be their age. By definition that ship cannot have sailed yet. ( Unless you're implying your parents make less than your grandparents, which I doubt)
i believe that's what he's saying and that there is need for a serious course correction. I'll never make as much as my father and I'll struggle to catch up to my mother even with a much more powerful degree, white male privilege on my side and having been in the workforce my entire eligible life while she was raising kids through her highest earning years.
You're running for President. And yet you're getting mop-up time in the last seven-minute segment of the show. SMDH... On another note, that was a _stellar_ interview. Easily more qualified for the job than the past three presidents.
He's not announced his candidacy yet, and he may very well not, but I hope he does, that sensible and most intelligent young man's generation is the future, just actually running would make a huge difference (just listen to him, he'd up the conversations we need to hear), and, get him some major tv time bump😉
@@bodaciousoasis2574 - Even if he drops out during the primaries, I want him to run just so he takes place in those debates. Better candidates in the debates forces the rest to deal with the issues he cares about and actually talk about them.
@@KingBobXVI Exactly👍... I've heard him speak now a few times, and I don't impress easy, been doin' politics for a looong time, and this fella, he's got somethin' to say, and so far anyway, he knows how to say it... way smart, too, got a good handle past, present, and future, and how none are are mutually exclusive to one another, that might be what has impressed me the most, so far.
@@bodaciousoasis2574 you write like a turn-of-the-century Oxford drop-out with a chip on your shoulder, and I totally mean that as a compliment. I've rarely seen a TH-cam comment with so much personality.
Bernie and Buttigieg would be the least logical combination. One understands business, economics, and knows how to accomplish things while the other is just an ideologue.
@EMN emn You obviously chose your candy-assed name wisely as well, you have my compliments! However, I'd like to point out that my name can melt your name. Just saying.
Celisar1 no, not at all. As of right now though, I’d say yes. Look at as watching football. You have a prediction in preseason. By the time the second or third game comes around, your prediction probably changes. All I’m saying is I like him. He seems like a great human being, to me.
OMGggggggg I know Mayor Pete have pictures w him and my family when we lived in South Bend. He is the NICEST MOST COMPASSIONATE person. He is really this genuine in person. It's crazy seeing him on TV like this!!!!!
Monique Cobb I met him too (at a rally but still) he’s an asshole. And why is he targeting Mike Pence? What did Pence ever do?
Why specifically do you feel he's an asshole? That's easy to say about anyone, but without details it doesn't mean much...
Mr. Lightning Bolt what did pence ever do....??? are you serious?? do you know anything about how disgustingly discriminative that man is??
Mr. Lightning Bolt pence has some extreme beliefs. He has supported the lying, cheating sexual predator in the WH and he establishes a Christian value in selecting trump.
@@johnf.kennedy8085 This might not be the specific reason but on Pence's Governor campaign website he has a section about defunding Planned Parenthood and putting that money into conversion therapy. Sure Planned Parenthood may go against his "good Christian values" so sure make the decision to defund it. But he doesn't stop there, he wanted to take that money and use it to "convert" homosexuals like Buttigieg. While you could argue that those "therapies" were meant for people who want to change their sexual orientations, it would also allow parents to FORCIBLY put their children into those programs.
The more I hear, read and learn about Pete Buttigieg the more I like him. He’s well grounded, intelligent, authentic, refreshing, appears trustworthy and has an excellent story. He’s a serious dark horse candidate! I’m a fan! 🇺🇸Pete Buttigieg 2020🇺🇸

Great! He's the best I've seen in over forty years of voting, the first I have been excited about since Phil Crane in 1980. I am so tired of voting against candidates, it will be refreshing to vote for him.

Well damn, I am impressed! I immediately wrote this guy off when he announced his run thinking he was a shallow Millennial. I'm so glad I watched this and equally humbled by my rush to judgement. Mr. Buttigeig, you've got my attention. Well DONE on the interview!
Shallow millennial? Millennials actually care about the content and quality of our government. That myth has been promoted by the boomers and "greatest generation" as a way to count us out before we even have a chance to get involved. We are actually more politically active than Gen Xers were at this age. Millennials are the largest voting block in the country now. We are gonna make things happen.
@@gregfaber3417 Wrong. Millennials always want things easy, are self-involved, never work hard, do not read anymore and substitute social media for real relationships. Go text someone a bunch of emojis and STFU!
@@brynperry7281 Sounds like someone with very little to zero experience with actual Millennials. As someone of the older generation, who has worked a bunch with Millennials, I say you really couldn't be more wrong.
Sure, some millennials are lazy, but there are also plenty of lazy asses in my generation and in every generation. To pain that broad brush on an entire generation is really quite stupid. But the majority that I have worked with definitely work quite hard, read more than you'd think, and do have real relationships with each other and with members of younger and older generations. And some of the most selfless people I've ever met have been millennials.
@@TheGeorgeD13 I work with them every day. Try again.
I was raised in South Bend and have met Pete. He is a genuine, kindhearted, and passionate leader who would make such a positive impact on our country! I’m lucky to have called him my mayor, but I hope one day we can all call him our president :)

@@FastNCurious88 LOVE Bernie, but get outta the way sweetheart and enjoy the rest of your life.
On Twitter, I said that Mayor Pete would be perfect to go against Trump because he is the opposite of e
EVERYTHING Trump is.
A person, who I am guessing is a Trump supporter, said that some people in Indiana believe that Mayor Pete was trying to force them into supporting the lgbtq community or they were being pushed out of South Bend , and that because of that he's made himself unable to be elected in South Bend anymore hence running for president.
Of course I didn't believe that to be true.
First of all, in 2019 someone is forcing someone to believe something they don't and then that someone starts running for president with that skeleton in their closet? I mean can anyone from Indiana tell me if they have heard something about this?
"trying to force them into supporting the lgbtq community " What the hell does that even mean?@@mariiiiii55
@hersha he seems like he gives good hugs, any chance you hug him?
I like his reasons for wanting to be president...feels like our future will be better with him
Carol Manyeruke .. what? Lol think about what he is proposing - oh that’s right... nothing. He has no policies, no platform. You choose your president based off what?!? Emotions? Yikes
Well thats what I later realised, that his polices are “empty”! This hype is nothing really.
Check out andrew yang and you wont be disappointed, pete has 0 policies
he has no policies
Carol, he is taking corperate money, ran a meeting with the dnc to take down bernie (confirmed by the new york times) and has legit 0 policies, please do more research or check out Andrew yang/bernie sanders
That’s our mayor!!! He’s such a kind, smart, giving man. I’d vote for him anytime.
Hence the 80% victory
yesssss
Drive around SB and take a good look at all the abandoned properties throughout the city, then get back to me.
@@jimvelez7307 - Like all cities and towns big and small, there are always places where you can point to if you are looking for problems like urban blight, socioeconomic disparity, etc. When he was governor, what did Mike Pence ever do to help South Bend, the fourth largest city in Indiana? Furthermore, as VP, why does Pence hypocritically lend his support to a POTUS who clearly violates most - if not all - of the conservative "Christian family values" that he claims to espouse?
Don't make the mistake of insinuating that "all the abandoned properties throughout the city" are the result of Pete Buttigieg's doings. He was born in 1982, and the issues that have plagued South Bend for decades even before his birth are actually being addressed by him as its current second-term mayor. To put the issue you have raised in proper context, you should consider these facts from Wikipedia:
"The population of South Bend declined after 1960, when it had a peak population of 132,445. This was chiefly due to migration to suburban areas as well as the demise of Studebaker and other heavy industry. Today, the largest industries in South Bend are health care, education, small business, and tourism. Remaining large corporations include Crowe Horwath, Honeywell, and AM General. Recently, the city population has started to grow for the first time in nearly fifty years. The old Studebaker plant and surrounding area, now called Ignition Park, is being redeveloped as a technology center to attract new industry. The city has also been featured in national news coverage for Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has achieved recognition for his various economic development projects within the city…"
Contrary to what some conservatives may want to believe, the traditional labor forces and manufactured goods produced by heavy industry of the past won't be coming back, but are being replaced with new technology, computer automation and robotics.
I am not from South Bend but live in IN and I am hella proud of this dude!
Love everything he said. I really hope he does well.
Obama was young and could get nothing change. Experience is a good thing. Bernie Sanders has just as many years as a Mayor as this guy, except Bernie has 28 years in congress on top of that. He is anti-establishment too, unlike this kid.
Get some more experience!
And start calling out the corrupt campaign finance system often.
If my name was Buttigieg, I would make it a priority to change it ASAP... Did he say "thanks for having *us*"?
Mikey McMikeFace says a guy who can’t come up with an original TH-cam name.
I had heard of Peter Buttigieg but I had no idea that he was gay until this interview and I am so proud that the world has come so far!
Never heard of him before, but I like this guy.
Please help spread the good word. I strongly believe social media is the key to unlocking success like Bernie's social media rise the last time around, except now the dnc has been exposed
Wow. I am crying after that speech. I'm a 25-year-old environmental scientist
and I feel that my values couldn't be more well-articulated.
You should see the way he bats away questions about "socialism" that media pundits love to ask. He's very good at turning things on their head and making it obvious how shallow they are.
Buttigieg and Yang are definitely the dark horse candidates
I'm 100% with you. I'm 26 and a teacher, and I'm starting to think that voting for another 70-year-old is not how I want my voice to be heard. Not only that, but, watching Mayor Pete's interviews, he is so impressive. He answers every question effortlessly and honestly, and his policies are about results. And, I mean, come on: Harvard educated, a Rhodes scholar, an Afghan vet, and he's gay? Aaron Sorkin couldn't have written this better.
If only the people who put that president in office would wake the truck up.
environmental scientist eh? get well, buddy, I feel ya. once in a while, do what makes you happy, you're important to all of us
edit: I'm assuming that all environmental scientists are depressed. if you're not, good for you
The most mature, balanced, experienced and intelligent candidate. A breath of fresh air for me.
Who cares about his personality 🙄
What are his policy positions. He literally said on Vice he doesn’t have any
he has no policies he stands behind 100%.. he says we need to come together behind "philosophy".. hillary 2.0
retron phil5 Bernie doesn’t talk like an aristocrat and actually stands behind the same positions he’s had since 2000bc.. not having policy points is an easy way for him to flip flop and appear more honest. Also he’s been meeting with corporate dems at “stop Bernie” dinners. Don’t fall for this act pls
retron phil5 I would rather a candidate take stands behind policy positions and not be able to deliver 100% than vote for someone based on how many languages he speaks and how “smart” he is. To each their own I guess
I love this Pete!! He is articulate and thoughtful. I would definitely vote for him!!
In a debate this guy will make Trump look pathetic!
Another with no chance against trump
@no bot Yes, Trump lies and his followers love it. But if Buttigieg wins the nomination, he'll devour Trump with intelligence, wit and humor. Besides, he's such a nice guy-thoughtful, compassionate, humble-any attempt by Trump to demean him will backfire. Have hope. America's woke-way more of us than Trump followers and if you noticed in the mid term election, way more of us voting than ever before.
Making trump look pathetic in a debate....
That's really the president's job.
@@smooth_concrete I agree. Hillary's strategy was to look like the intelligent, reasonable, sane one against Trump in debates but he still won. I'm concerned that Pete needs to do more. Kalama Harris seems more slick and can handle getting a bit filthy by trolling Trump. Bernie Sanders is equally loud and angry but also more likeable than Trump. I really like Pete but sadly just being smart and eloquent isn't enough. Pete's advantage, however, is that he can pull in votes from moderate voters and the crucial Midwest states.
I think we operate under a false understanding here. There is only one person who makes President Trump look pathetic in a public debate, and that is himself.
He makes me want to move to South bend from the UK. What a nice bloke
Then he has most definitely done something right!
Wow, don't know who he is but this was very appealing
Yeah, except he is in no way qualified to be the leader of the world. Only experience is mayor of tiny town. He accepts Wall Street Money. He keeps bragging he was a mayor but we have plenty of candidates in the race who were mayors too and they have even more experience than him. He needs to stop being ageist. I’d take 100 Bernie’s over this kid who would be our own elitist Macron.
ScootMagoot46 South Bend is a tiny town? Lol 100k+ people isn’t tiny by any measure. He’s more qualifies than the current President of the US by FAR. Did you even listen to a thing the man said?

@Dragon Fox See, that's your problem- you get it all backwards. Trump doesn't do "speeches"- he craps from his mouth. That's why his mouth is just a round hole. Duh!
Obama was also impressive, when he told those lies about my healthcare insurance.
He is so underrated by the media for now; hope he gets more coverage...
There are a few candidates who are potential dark horses -- Buttigieg and Inslee come to mind for me, but I'm sure there are plenty more.
I don’t mean this the wrong way but I think it’s because it’s the year of the woman and we have Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand (where’s she been?), Amy Klobuchar and Tulsi Gabbard

Anna Lu Research yang. He’s much better choice for pres. this guys talks a big game but at 37 and basically zero policy or platform it shows you choose your presidents by emotions ... bad idea
Nahhhh policy over personality
@@Ausbos5 What's wrong with his age?? Jacinda Ardern is 38
So a guy with no policies should be president because he sounds pretty cool? How about you just don't vote. Let people who care about policy and the future of the country vote.
Chan B thank you!!!
I would vote for him so far
Trump will destroy him. lol
Exactly what I was thinking.
Wallace Keith Duncan Jr. On what basis?? He didn't reveal a single policy position! America needs to stop voting on feels and start taking the position of presidency serious.
@ms wpwm Having more experience that Trump is way too low a bar, and as much as I dislike Pence, I don't see how this small town mayor gets to claim to have more experience than the former governor of Indiana. Again, for all his claimed experience, he did not state what his policy positions on war are, or on any other issue. Am I supposed to just trust his judgement and dismiss my own thoughts on the issue just because he's a vet? If Bernie doesn't run I would probably very well be voting for a young millennial veteran, and it would be Tulsi Gabbard. At least I know what her policy positions are and agree with most of them, including her stance on wars.
Me too.
My goodness, a politician who is intelligent, articulate and seems to care. My best wishes sir.
Thats why we fell in love with Obama
I felt none of the current democrats running for president was what we needed. Until i herd of this guy. My God! Thank you for putting him out there. I think he has what it takes. He has my vote.
Do you know anything about his actual policy proposals, or are you just choosing a candidate based on charm and charisma? Don’t be stupid and fall for the media darling of the day. RESEARCH. His record is not good, and he is no progressive as he claims.
I think its Bernies time. This guys time might be still to come, once he’s proven to be as consistent as someone like Bernie.
Yang gang. Do your research silly. He has zero platform. Don’t choose your president off of emotions and “he feels right” - fucker has corporate donors.. yang has 70+ proposed policies on his site

@@stephlynn1982 YOU NEED TO RESEARCH peteforamerica.com/issues/ here are his policied divided in security, freedom and democracy. The real problem here is he is gay so he could make our kids gay #NoHomoInUS
I like him. Insanely eloquent. Wants to act on climate change. Should be POTUS.
Mika is right, he's like the Mr. Rogers of the prospective Presidential candidates. Calm, authentic, honest and cute in that midwestern kind of way. Really nice change. I could see myself voting for him.
Agreed 💯%. Pete Buttigeig is precisely what this country, and the world, needs at this moment in history. Next to true leadership like the prime minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern (also 37 yrs old), my generation is breaking through the stimied barriers of fascism, and it's truly inspiring.
Except Mr. Rogers actively told gay people he knew to tone that down and make it less of a part of their personality. I can't speak for his religious views, but if he truly followed the Bible and the mandate of love like he publicly showed for decades, he would know that homosexuality is undeniably and categorically wrong. "Therefore, whoever knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin."- James 4:17 I personally want to vote for Pete if he makes it through the primaries and becomes the nominee (unlikely, since it will probably be Biden), but I cannot allow the normalization of homosexuality.
@@brandondavidson4085 According to the documentary about him, he reversed that stance in later years and was ashamed of asking people to hide who they are.
And as Buttigeig says in this vid - you have a problem with his homosexuality? Take it up with his creator. God makes people gay and we're made in God's image. Ergo - God created homosexuality. Who are we to demonize God's creation?
@@MKPiatkowski No, I hated that statement too. That's like saying God creates people who are habitual liars or thieves, or people who cheat on their spouses are born that way. God does not create anyone to sin.

@Damdu Dak is he? never saw his tax returns ( and he inherited 10 millions from his father) Do you think Paris Hilton is smart?
Wtf why isn't he getting more coverage?
There are a shit ton of candidates, no one makes time for a mayor no one has heard of. And they haven't heard of him because they don't make time for him.
He isn't the ratings draw
He also JUST started an exploratory committee and isn't even running yet. This interview is probably gonna help quite a bit
well , he made it into Colbert time.. not many people make it there so I say he is getting more than a regular mayor ...and that's good.. hope he makes it ...but honestly, whoever makes it as the candidate , has a greater chance of winning next year 👍
Because he’s really not qualified to be president based on experience. I have a local mayor in my town and the town next over that are way more qualified than him.
I'm from South Bend and we love Pete! He's so involved and personable, and his husband is so sweet. He's trustworthy and has done a lot for the city. I hope his campaign really picks up steam! YEET PETE !!

After much deliberation, I've come to a decision; I would like to cast my 2020 presidential ballot in advance. Bravo.
This just show how stupid you and most people are. You just decided to vote for someone who didn't offer anything concrete. Just because of an eight minute interview on a talk show.
You literally just decided who to be president off a 7 minute interview. Why is this comment section full of morons? Buttigieg doesn't even support Medicare for All and has already backpedaled on it.
The Humanity Most people who watch Stephen Colbert are dumb. Did you watch the interview where Colbert smeared Tulsi? He is just part of a system that benefits him.
I donated to his campaign last week. It looks like he'll get into the debates.
I may start volunteering for him soon. If you want to help see him make it, a donation to his campaign would be very helpful! He's not independently wealthy and does not have a lot of name recognition, so every bit makes a big difference.
The Humanity actually he does support Medicare for all and has spoken about how he would make it happen.
I’ve listened to a lot of candidates so far, and mayor Pete is the only one who gives me that “Obama feeling “. I just want to hear him all the time. I love Bernie too, and Elizabeth... but this guy. In the early stages we all gotta be open, but very excited for our progressive candidates. Hoping no one will do he down and dirty politics. We’re better than that! Don’t tear the movement apart like the gop wants! Health care for all! Education for all! This is America. Let’s continue to make our stake in being one of the greatest countries in the world.
Don't forget he wants "Health Care for all, if they want it."
He definitely has Obama's charm and class. Hopefully his policies will be better though. Because Obama's lack of those gave us Trump.. At least the Dem field is looking way more interesting now than just Queen Hillary.
Viva LaVlogz
Exactly... I’m down with that. I don’t think forcing folks into a policy that they aren’t comfortable with is the way to bring us together. However, I believe that , like Medicare , most will see the benefits and jump on board. Change is hard, but I’ll be damned if we can’t change people’s minds into realizing that health care is a universal right, as is education. How can those things be bad for our country?
fennegvdgvd
In what way did Obama policy give us trump? Other than he’s not white?
@@margaretmccollister6124 The problem with a Medicare buy-in like Mayor Pete is suggesting is that you don't get the majority of the economic benefits you'd get through medicare-for-all and you won't get universal coverage. By streamlining the system, removing profit margins and putting everyone on a single plan you can cut out redundancies, lower costs and provide better care for everyone. Without removing the for profit healthcare system there's no way to get the costs down to make the program sustainable long term. Healthcare rates will continue to rise, people will still go bankrupt because private healthcare companies refused to cover x or y. Not to mention the republicans, pharmaceutical and health insurance companies will fight you tooth and nail regardless of whether you go for a full measure (med-4-all) or half measure (buy-in) so you mine as well go for the full measure because it's provides better care at lower prices and covers EVERYONE.
As to this...
"I don’t think forcing folks into a policy that they aren’t comfortable with is the way to bring us together."
Sometimes you have to do what's right and trust that people will come along eventually. I mean if we didn't then we'd still have slavery today. That's what leading looks like. The only reason people are afraid of a single payer system is fear mongering and propaganda. Medicare-4-all type systems have successfully existed in every other modern nation for decades. And everyone of those countries pays less and has better results. The only way to push aside the propaganda is to let the citizens see the results first hand when they're seeing their same doctors without having to worry about premiums or surprise medical expenses. When they experience it for themselves and realize it's nothing scary, most will come around.
37 years old veteran who was a mayor for 8 years....holy moly
Synic -- Also a public homosexual claiming to be a Christian in a gay "marriage" in the day when only bucket lists matter for candidates.
@@DapperMudkip So there is no difference between Christianity and Stoicism or Buddhism? That is an illiterate claim. But saying Butt-egg is a "good Christian" while attempting to show that the Bible itself is a lie, and Christianity is therefore an illusion -- is a stupid, contradictory idea even for a blithering moron, Diaper Mud.
ConservativeAnthem ConservativeAnthem ConservativeAnthem absolutely pathetic, you’ve yet to bring up a single fact. That’s a really cute use of the thesaurus there, but it’s still playground talk. I never said the Bible is an illusion, it’s a great source of virtue but it is unfortunately not written by a prophet. It’s safe to assume that contemporaries mortal prejudices seeped in, no? As a matter of fact, there’s even talk of the homophobic verses being mistranslations. I would tell you to go do research on the biology of this topic and return with a viable argument, but that’s clearly asking too much of you. If you can’t muster a shred of tolerance to look past his sexuality and see all the good he is doing, then you are truly and utterly lost. Humanity is moving forward and closed minded fools such as yourself will eventually be flushed out. It’s already begun. It’s just a matter of time now.
Rhodes and Harvard Scholar..time for an intelligent and competent president with compassion.
Yasssss, he has an edge!! Bootyjudge!! boot edge edge . . . they say . . . edge edge
I never heard of him until this interview. Now I just came back to this video again after watching all his recent interviews. Who cares about his age and sexuality!? He seems like a really good contender to be the president. I would vote for him
Check out his speech at the mayor' conference a few weeks ago www.c-span.org/video/?c4776140/white-house-hopeful-pete-buttigieg-addresses-us-conference-mayors
It may seem like this guy doesn't have enough political experience, being "only" a mayor of a city of about 100,000... but it should be noted that he's a graduate of Harvard (BA in history and literature) and Oxford (MPhil in philosophy, politics, and economy... aka "PPE", and interdisciplinary degree. He was a Rhodes Scholar there). So the guy has 7 years of public office administration experience, maybe not the biggest of offices but big enough that I have no doubt he'd listen to his advisers, and an administration under his leadership would be organized and sane. On top of that, he has several years spent busting his ass in interdisciplinary studies which cover a wide range of the expertise one should have to hold such a high office.
So I'm pretty sure this guy would know what to do, if and when he gets there.
He also volunteered for active duty service in Afghanistan while being mayor! And he speaks several languages conversationally, including Arabic.
I love that someone did their research on him too. he is smart, intelligent and articulate and wants to use his talents to better society for everyone. he could hv gone into the private sector and made money for himself but he did this and also served in Afghanistan. as far as I'm concerned he's the most qualified candidate yet. @CNN give him a town hall too
If you check on his record, he appears to have done a remarkable job of revitalizing South Bend during his terms, as well. He seems quite innovative, in ways that benefit the citizens.
And what matters is that he has experience period compared to Mr Bone Spurs. Celebrities with no form of political experience on their resume should not be allowed to run. And I live in South Bend, I really like Pete and I’m backing him all the way!
@@nidhipaul1541 he's cute

Nice to know you have someone potentially running for president that seems like decent forward thinking actual human being. It is a pity I have little faith in someone like him getting the job in the short term though, given the very divided state of the US currently.

You say that based off a 7 minute interview?
The guy doesn't even support Medicare for All
I am a RINO (e.g. Registered Republican with conservative-leaning political views who recognizes that the GOP sold us out years ago to pander to Religious fanatics and even racists). I vote for the best candidate on the ticket. I have voted for POTUS candidates from 3 different political parties over that last 3 elections (McCain, Obama, and Johnson).
From what I can tell, there are only 2 Democrats that I would consider voting for right now: Pete B. and Tulsi G. I might consider voting for someone else if one of those two is in the VP slot.
It is a shame that neither of them, especially Pete B., has the same level of notoriety as the other frontrunners... and I suspect that the DNC will suppress them since they don't raise as much money as their vapid "peers." Guess that we'll wait and see...
The more I see of him the more I LOVE him. lol As of this current moment writing -he's got my vote.
As someone who can vote for the first time in 2020, I think that this man has the potential to strike a chord with a lot of new Gen Z voters. I'm certainly interested to see how his campaign develops
Same, think it would be very inspiring for many other young voters to have someone of his nature available to vote for.
Of all the people on that debate stage I thought he was the most articulate, well spoken, and the least angry. But, America chose Biden and we’ll just have to wait things out.
Hmmm...suddenly, I'm paying attention to this guy...
He definitely has my vote. Very impressed with interviews he has done as well as what he has done in South Bend as Mayor
Walker Wolff you are going to vote someone in based of good interviewing skills. Yea. You shouldn’t be allowed to vote. Any polices? None. Any platform he’s running on? None.

I'm glad he's doing a lot of Press and getting airtime. He's been on Colbert, MSNBC, The View, Vice and even Fox News so he's covering a wide net which is smart. And I've seen nothing but positive comments for him (even on Fox News!). He might not win the primaries over Bernie, Beto or Kamala Harris, but I hope he might consider being a running mate if asked, because he's clearly knowledgeable about the crucial Rust Belt states. If he DOES win the primaries though he's definitely got my vote.
Either way, I can see this man becoming President at some point, maybe in the future. Getting serious Kennedy-Obama charming vibes from him.
I like him as a running mate for Bernie.

Support the #GreenNewDeal
Which deadshit site did you get that fake news from?
Green New Deal is specifically about the environment. @Tia J
@Dragon Fox: sure, they "should" have nothing to do with each other -- two separate issues, both important, but unrelated, right? Sounds good in theory... but in REALITY, racial disparities in terms of local environmental conditions (e.g. air pollution levels) are a huge issue. And on a global level, environmental issues are a huge issue for *everyone*. So, we need to work on both, and they need to be worked on together, because, in our current reality, they're linked. To say otherwise is either ignorant or, lacking ignorance of the above, itself a racist thing.
ED S: do you actually think that being gay is the only thing he cares about?
Is being (I presume) straight (and if the presumption is wrong, then being whatever you consider your sexual orientation to be) the only thing you care about??
Dragon Fox: I don't think global warming is racist, I think polluters point their pollution towards brown folks, because our racist society is more prone to letting them get away with it that way. I think this because there's abundant evidence of it.
Why do you think that this belief somehow got us Trump? I'm trying to understand how you're thinking about this, because... if I'm doing something that got us Trump, I want to unpack it and change behavior.
Dragon Fox: and I think you are a troll, and I'm going to stop feeding you now. Goodbye.
Listening to him all the way from kampala, he’s speeches and takes on different issues is so refreshing not in “sensationalistic” way either . He strikes at you in a very deep and profound way it will be interesting following his journey ...
First debate.
Trump: uses homophobic slur.
Pete: You think I haven't heard those things before? You're just a bully who's too scared to goto war

Platitude Pete is a pretender. Don't trust politicians who deliberately keep their policy positions vague, no matter how intelligent and insightful they may seem.
Research yang. He’s much better choice for pres. this guys talks a big game but at 37 and basically zero policy or platform it shows you choose your presidents by emotions ... bad idea
D H policy over personality any day
I totally agree. Jacinda Ardern doesn't brown nose to any gun lobby like that POS, sorry POTUS of yours does along with all his sycophants. She has changed the gun ownership laws in New Zealand and even though they were behind Australia at least she had the guts and decency to do something about it. Not like that whining Trump who doesn't even talk the talk let alone walk it.
I've seen this Mayor Pete address a crowd of hundreds of legislators, and government officials alike and honestly he is more charismatic, smart, logical, and direct than even this interview could project. He's eloquent, knowledgeable and most of all diplomatic. I think we could use a little diplomacy right now.
Except that he has no policies.

@@ChineduOpara Sure, I guess you mean Republican state (!) laws that encourage discrimination against LGBTQ members under the guise of religious freedom.

But maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's some federal law he can push through congress that would help the situation.
But is this really a signature issue of his? I've watched many interviews with him and I've never seen him be more concrete than just hinting at being good for the LGBTQ community (mostly merely by virtue of being gay). I don't mean to be deliberately adverse, if I had ever seen him argue for certain federal laws that would help prevent discrimination of the LGBTQ community I honestly wouldn't be here arguing that he's a zero-issue candidate.

I can't believe how Americans elected Trump when they have people like Pete available. Eloquent, sharp and with real experience...
He wasn't in the race.
@@Ex0dus111 You had Bernie Sanders and Marco Rubio just to give you two bipartisan examples. In all due honesty Hillary Clinton is the only one at fault at this moment for the disastrous president you guys have now. I mean Trump is a joke literally is dragging the good name of your nation to the gutter. I don't think that your international standing will be fix in the next 20 years. We all now know that America the supposed beacon of freedom in the world is compose of no less than a 35% racist population. That is mind blowing!
@@jackb8469 You must be either a Russian Troll or a hillbilly that literally had to use a clothes hanger to get internet signal to post this message hahaha...
Initially I felt certain way about him but after listening to him I changed my mind for good. He is interesting and he reminds me of Obama(excitement, joy and happiness) regardless of his sexual orientation.
Yes. He's way different. His ideas are interesting. My first thought was JFK/Obama and the enthusiasm surrounding their campaigns/election. Wicked smart, witty and great sense of humor. Buttigieg speaks 7 languages fluently, as well.
Hear hear, like what was said. Thus far you got my vote. Going to continue to research and analyze this guy but dawn he’s spot on
There are policies all over his website! 😊
President Pete sounds sweet.
it also rhymes
I like the cut of your jib, young man.
What's a jib?
From the words of the fresh prince "I don't think you should looking at the cut of his jib!" Lol
Ok, Mr. Burns.
@@factsdino653 YOU'RE ON THE INTERNET, LOOK IT UP. AND NO WILL SMITH DIDN'T COME UP WITH IT.
Funny story: I took my parents on an afternoon sailing ⛵️ tour on Lake Michigan a couple years ago, and the captain and his wife were quite friendly, and I was learning about sailing from them. He explained the sails and the rigging, etc.
A few minutes later during a pause, I told him "Hey, I like the cut of your jib." 😂😂😂
(A jib is something to do with the 2 big sails, and the cut of the jib is how they're tied off or their angle to the wind; something to that effect.)
I told him I secretly just always wanted the chance to say that phrase and this was my once in a lifetime opportunity!
PS: if you have the chance and want a great gift for mothers/Father's Day or birthdays, take your parent(s) out on a rented sailing tour. It wasn't terribly expensive (perhaps $25-30/person) and the sailors are typically just individual families who own modest sailboats and this is a way for them to earn a little money to go sailing on a day they'd probably be sailing anyway.
Our boat could probably carry 20-30 people and had a downstairs / below deck (whatever it's called) with couches and chairs and a bathroom/toilet. The family even served us soda from their fridge.
Wow he’s so well spoken, smart, and lovely! I never listened to him speak before but he’s very articulate and inspires confidence.
Gonna make less than our parents? Sorry I think that ship has already sailed!
No shit! Wages have not met the inflation of living expenses in decades
Evan AB
Absolutely right! He should know this.
Less than your parents meaning when you will be their age. By definition that ship cannot have sailed yet. ( Unless you're implying your parents make less than your grandparents, which I doubt)
Adrienne Van Greevenbroek
He is 37. This generation does indeed make less money than their parents at the same age.
i believe that's what he's saying and that there is need for a serious course correction. I'll never make as much as my father and I'll struggle to catch up to my mother even with a much more powerful degree, white male privilege on my side and having been in the workforce my entire eligible life while she was raising kids through her highest earning years.
You're running for President. And yet you're getting mop-up time in the last seven-minute segment of the show. SMDH...
On another note, that was a _stellar_ interview. Easily more qualified for the job than the past three presidents.
He's not announced his candidacy yet, and he may very well not, but I hope he does, that sensible and most intelligent young man's generation is the future, just actually running would make a huge difference (just listen to him, he'd up the conversations we need to hear), and, get him some major tv time bump😉
@@bodaciousoasis2574 - Even if he drops out during the primaries, I want him to run just so he takes place in those debates. Better candidates in the debates forces the rest to deal with the issues he cares about and actually talk about them.
@@KingBobXVI Exactly👍... I've heard him speak now a few times, and I don't impress easy, been doin' politics for a looong time, and this fella, he's got somethin' to say, and so far anyway, he knows how to say it... way smart, too, got a good handle past, present, and future, and how none are are mutually exclusive to one another, that might be what has impressed me the most, so far.
@@bodaciousoasis2574 you write like a turn-of-the-century Oxford drop-out with a chip on your shoulder, and I totally mean that as a compliment. I've rarely seen a TH-cam comment with so much personality.
*Lovin' Pete Buttigieg more&more.* Authentic. Often I find myself mulling over his ideas & plans. Discussions have started
I'd vote for a Bernie/Buttigieg ticket, regardless of which party they choose to affiliate with.
Bernie and Buttigieg would be the least logical combination. One understands business, economics, and knows how to accomplish things while the other is just an ideologue.
I'd prefer a Yang/Buttigieg ticket
@@kayrosis5523 I like him and maybe one of the women can be a VP like Kamala. Bernie is nice too.
@@ckatm397 Why wouldn't that make a logical combination? I'd think that having a pair with complementary strengths would be better than two clones.
@EMN emn
You obviously chose your candy-assed name wisely as well, you have my compliments! However, I'd like to point out that my name can melt your name. Just saying.
I love how much Stephen grilled him, and how Pete was able to perfectly defend himself
I already really like him 🥰
I don’t know who he was, but I did research on him and watched some videos about him and he has my vote. #Peteforpresident
You need to elect Pete then America will have redeemed itself!
He is the leader you need!
Oh, and he has two rescue dogs named Truman and Buddy 😭🙌🙌🙌❤
So far he’s got my vote. Best of luck to him!
Robert Mathews
Bc. of a 7 minute interview without any political topics addressed?
Celisar1 no, not at all. As of right now though, I’d say yes. Look at as watching football. You have a prediction in preseason. By the time the second or third game comes around, your prediction probably changes. All I’m saying is I like him. He seems like a great human being, to me.
Robert Mathews
Hm, you actually did say: “he’s got my vote.”
I hope the US Americans will choose more carefully and with *reason* next time.
Celisar1 so far he has my vote is a little different then saying he has my vote.
