I’m a 61, straight, married mom & nana and my husband and I love Mayor Pete, his family and his honesty. We believe strongly in supporting our LGBTQ community 🌈✨👬
I support all sane behavior and agree Phred M ✌️
Good woman yourself! Glad to see that there is sense left in America. Respect from a 40 yr old farmer in Ireland!
p.s- Pete seems like one of your best politicians. Hold on to him.
Well stated, Ms Phred!! I'm 76 and am with you completely. Major Pete is what America needs (urgently!!!!!!).
Register and vote 🗳! We cannot let them get control!
#MVPete is one of the most important people ever to have risen into our political system. His breathtaking intelligence is so refreshing.
Love Pete.
What a smart, classy and eloquent man.
What an outstanding president he'd be. 👍
👍👍👍👍👍
Completely and totally agree.
Absolutely....Pete for Prez.....2024
So true. He speaks with depth and love.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, weren't many on the right recently screaming that "forcing"people to wear a mask was overreaching and a violation of their rights?
No correction needed. That is pretty much it. They seem to think it's ok to spread disease but a woman make a choice according to her own needs and they lose their minds.
Yep! They were the ones screaming "My body! My choice!" when it came to "being forced" to wear masks.
Yes.
I was just thinking about that today! Way to go!
They are also against paid paternal leave
I’m not a Liberal, but this is the kind of leader American needs.
If you agree with what Pete says, then you're a liberal.
Amen to this!
Pete is one of the few responsible adults in the room that works "For the People"! I'd vote for President Buttingieg.
He's great. He'll never be president, though.
@@Artemis-re6yj probably not because he is a good head on his shoulder. He s what America but because he is gay people n his country turn their snotty self-centered nose up in the air. Horrible people
The thing is, it wasn’t a speech, it was him in a back and forth forum. To me, it was from the heart, 300% honest and right on target.
It is refreshing to see a politician that can walk, talk and chew gum at the same time. Not only does he make sense but truly presents his understanding of common sense in a way that separates him from the ordinary. I have no reservation in supporting whatever path he takes.
THIS!!
As a progressive, PB has never been my guy and has said things to make me actively hate him. That said, if he speaks honestly like this going forward and does what he says, I'd vote for him no question.
@@mrdrofficer I’m curious. What did he say to make you hate him?
@@KirraTheCleric He won't be able to explain... Nothing that PB has said in the past is controversial.
I am 73 years old and I have one fear, that I will not live long enough to vote for Pete Buttigieg (again) and see him take the Oath of Office as President of the United States of America.
I’m 80 and have the same fear. I’d be happy to leave this life knowing our country is in Pete’s capable and compassionate hands.
I concur 100%! Pete is smart and conscientious about what America was founded upon; freedom. He has my vote. It's time to move beyond the grand old party and their blatant hypocrisy. 66 year old southern man here transplanted out west.
He would make a great president
Sad for you all 😔 I’m 72, smoked crack for many years in my late 50s … but I’m only on one common med ,,, however, I have always drank plain tap water … the body is a large percentage of water so it’s a necessary thing. I did have breast cancer but caught while still small. It’s the only thing I can think of that makes a big difference.. plenty of plain water
@@PamelaByers-on6vt
Why are you sad? I have lived a healthy and blessed life.
Pete literally glows with intelligence & integrity. I am proud to have him part of the US govt’. May he keep fighting for our humanity.
He speaks from an honest heart he speaks from TRUTH!!!
He doesn't use talking points either! You can tell when someone is telling the truth, when they don't hesitate when answering! He Never dodged a question or changes the subject like the GOP does, or try to talk over them. Although he doesn't let people talk over him like they try to do when he's on Fox! ❤️❤️❤️ He also is very good at explaining in plain words that the average person can understand his position and why that's his position. He's one of our Greatest assets and I hope I live long enough to see him move up in government, because we need him! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pete Buittigieg is a very rare politician: articulate, knowledgeable, and empathetic. Bravo.
Republicans never talk like that. I can name 10 that are just always hostile and crazy. They need to force feed their beliefs because they''re barely acceptable.
He reminds me so much of Obama.
I can't help but listen when he talks.
I hate to sound like this, but America has been dumbing itself down to the point where a thoughtful, intelligent man may be beyond their ability to understand and beyond their patience which is limited to sound bytes.
It never occurred to me that we, as Americans, had possibly reached our “watermark” on how far we had advanced as a society.
Well said Mr. Buttigieg. I hope we’re able to reverse course and start moving forward again.
#VOTEBLUE22
How can i say that politely? Between no universal healcare, sistemic racism and no acountability for the richs among other things, you haven't gone that far as a society to begin with...
@@yannicklucas1836 can we talk about who are blocking the way forward..besides the Republicans, and two democrats who are want to be Republicans? We need to get out and VOTE.
@@yannicklucas1836 actually we did it was just in the 1980s with the civil rights movements that we reached our peak.
@@markelcreek56 Actually no, it wasn't in the '80s. We haven't reached our pinnacle yet because we're still alive, still fighting and still here.
Pete was wondering if we had. A speculation.
Then you come in with your plethora of hope and fortitudanal abundance of the future. 😉 Your cynicism is rejected.
@@rankat1841 well we can always hope.
This man is so smart! He thinks, and he's a straight shot. I could give a rat's ass about his sexuality! He's a Damn good man!
My sentiments exactly! That should not even be an issue! He is presidential material.
Second that. Over the years I have come to judge people by their actions as human beings.
Here I am a gay man and thought he was straight for a long long time and thought he would be a fine president. I later find out that he is gay, he doesn't make it an issue because it should not be an issue, and still think that he would be a fine president. He is so smart and articulate where he makes you sit back and think and when someone can do that and make you look at the big picture outside of the box then that's the person I enjoy looking to hear his mind continue speaking.
@@henrykirkwood5369 I adore and admire him and voted for him in the primary. I hope to see him become Pres. if I live long enough.
@@jimmcloughlin here here
God…I love Pete Buttigieg!!! He’s so intelligent, compassionate and well spoken 😊💕💕
Not to mention, he's a great husband and wife.
@@MTM-qb2st Actually, he's a great husband and husband and father.
Aside from being a corporate shill.
and thought provoking too.
He’s FOR a better America for all of us! 🌈👬✨
Mayor Pete is speaking from his ❤️...not a TELEPROMPTER.. I 💕 this... because every word that he spoke was true. God Bless this man.🙏🙏🙏
Great to hear someone who is thoughtful, & is understanding the issues of the day & can explain clearly and with good understanding & the issues that we care about. If we are to go forward as a country that haS its fingers on the pulse on the issues of the day,lets go with Pete. president 2024.
I can hold two thoughts in my head at the same time. Being a born again Christian I think abortion is wrong, being born in America the land of the free I cannot tell a woman what to do with her body. The fact that I am a Christian cannot override the wishes of 70% of our country a free country a country of Rights I cannot limit people's rights based on my religion that's un-american. I've always pride myself on not being a Democrat or a Republican being able to pick and choose whom I think is the right person to govern us, but today I cannot trust Republicans to govern us in the manner a free society should be governed. Therefore in this current climate I urge all people who love their freedoms to vote for Democrats at least during this current climate.
Like you I don't allow myself to be biased as being an American and loving America is more important than any individuals pettiness.
Thank you. If other Christians thought/felt like you do, this country would be in such better shape.
Besides all of that, which I do agree with, the way I see it at the very least if the vortian clinics are on Main Street we can go and appeal for the fate of the child
NOTE
that does *NOT* mean
"Stand on the street yelling obscene and hurtful things to a vulnerable young woman SEEKING HELP"
Register and vote 🗳! We cannot let them get control! Let’s vote 🗳 those f@ckers out!
@@onyxd6270 then please explain what you mean. What does “Main Street” (location) have to do with anything?
And the Supreme Court members aren’t humiliating and frightening vulnerable women as they enter abortion clinics. They are going right for the jugular: after purposely lying On Video by assuring they would never go against RvW so as to get themselves appointed, they now have absolutely no shame in reversing their promise. If the judges of the highest court on the land are dishonest in plain sight, how can we trust them to decide the fate of our fellow humans?
And back to my original question: what do you mean when you say you can go “appeal for the child.”? Which, by the way is only an embryo or at most a fetus. Not called a “child” by dictionary definition until After birth.
I will add that, if RvW gets reversed and “life” is now legally stated to begin at conception, then every unborn “child” by this definition, must be entitled to all the protections and funding provided by city state and federal laws. That means everything from tax deductions and tax credits to collecting child support if mother fits the financial parameters; and that definitely means child support from the father. That means laws must be put in place to have mandatory dna tests for proven probable father, and then child support should be retroactive to date of conception.
BRAVO PETE!!!..... INTELLIGENCE, COMPASSION, DIGNITY, AND ..... LOVE OF HUMANKIND.
Wow, amazing how well Buttigieg can break it down. True American Patriot.
Yes, if you have a brain. Unfortunately it seems more than 40% IN THIS COUNTRY lack that
Amen to that..😇🙏🏻
as opposed to the REAL patriots on the right!
@@larryandshylatoering4772 who would they be? If your idea of patriots are those who spread hate, have no good ideas to improve people's lives, take away people's freedoms, avoid discussions around racism because the truth makes then uncomfortable, then I feel bad for you. Do we want a country that allows hate or do we want a country that promotes inclusion and dignity for all. The latter seems to be common sense thinking, but unfortunately people fear what they do not understand and grab onto those who support their fears.
Listening to him speak reminds me why I voted for him. Americans would be fortunate to have him as their president.
A gay man just explain the importance of a woman’s right to choose because even though there is literally zero way pregnancy could affect him directly, he knows that giving people their choice affects us all. Go Pete.
Neither could all of the white 80 year old men in the supreme court, house and senate.......
It's called empathy, something the GOP seems to be lacking in for the past decades
Pregnancy does affect him directly. He has 2 children conceived thru IVF which will also become illegal in certain states.
@@sailboatgirl9628 a fair point. I did not know about the IVF
@@sailboatgirl9628 Pete and his husband adopted their twins. He recently described getting the call for adoption with less than 24 hours notice, I can't imagine!
We want to go Forward- Not backwards in our society We absolutely NEED more intelligent ,honest people speaking up. Bravo Pete!!
PROGRESS
I think its less about intelligent, but about morality. Respecting rights over religious doctrine that does not rule anyone against thier will.
@@eltorocal Conservatives seem to be anti-progress for some odd reason.
Register and vote 🗳! We cannot let them get control!
@@lizcollinson2692 true. But that's what happens when elected officials aren't legally required to behave even somewhat ethically. As long as corruption is legal, money and culture wars will dictate politics. Because as Pete pointed out, republicans don't have answers to real issues. Or more accurately, they're paid not to have answers by the corporations they're in charge of regulating.
This is exactly why I voted for him when he ran for President. Honesty, intelligence, and truly a great human being.
As a Catholic Christian I proudly shout how desperately we NEED PRESIDENT PETE in the White House!! He is a brilliant, articulate, compassionate, exemplary public servant.
As a Catholic you should know that your church opposes everything Pete mentioned, from abortion to his husband. As a Catholic you should be aware that your church is buying up hospital chains in order to control what medical procedures people are allowed to have because their desire to control the bodies of people is so great.
I agree wholeheartedly. Come 2024, I hope he runs if Biden decides to step aside. Even if he doesn’t step aside, Pete adds a lot to the discourse, so I hope he stays engaged.
I knew he didn’t have a chance when he was quoted as saying “take away all the guns.” Whether he said it or not, that’s a death knell for any politician in ‘Murica.
@@MsNickie1001 I am pretty sure it was Beto that said that.
Your tithe to the church was used to send criminals all over the world. Does that make you an accessory after the fact?
I so miss seeing and listening to this man. I did vote for him to be POTUS when he ran for the position. I would and will always vote for this man in whatever position he runs for. HE is who we need for POTUS in 2024.
My god. I can’t wait for this very intelligent and measured man to be my president.
🤞Hopefully sooner than later. 🤞
@Leader Leads Chats You know, in most cases, those who are embattled with their own sexuality, are the ones who attack those who aren't.
I could also throw my hat in for Jamie Raskin, great dude.
@Leader Leads Chats Did that remark made you feel smart? Thoughtful? Really?
Here, here👏
If our politicians were more like Pete, this would be a wonderful country
Pete is more of a man than any of the republican congressman are. Thank you for being a voice of reason In These dark times.
Republicans are pure fucking garbage and have been for decades. I just hope this finally grabs the attention of some of those annoying fence sitters and both siders the keep sitting who keep not voting.
@@IBERJEN Don’t call me a “groomer”, it hurts me so damned much.🤡
Isn’t that the truth.
@@tommyk6719 I hope time is helping to heal that wound. It was a tough blow. Now that it’s a while,… Just checking in on you. Like a good neighbor! 🇺🇸👍
@@IBERJEN Hey bullie try and pick on me, of course you won't because you hide behind your Bolshevik bullcrap and ignorance.
At 96 years old I have seen the world change, and your
ignorant type of personality
never evolves. And no I'm not WOKE! I'm educated..
This man is a joy to listen to. Intelligent,well spoken,level headed and an ideal person to put forward to higher office. I would vote for him for POTUS in a heartbeat and I firmly believe that the country would benefit with him as Commander in Chief.
@ghost mall I'd enjoy his nomination just to see the Reich wing run around with their hair on fire for months beating themselves into a frothing pool of hate and bile
I'd like to see it, but I fear that Americans are still too homophobic to elect a gay man to the presidency.
I agree with you 100%!
True. I'm not American but I was rooting for him in the last election. It's time for Americans to STOP voting old men and women in office. Start voting in young people. Alot of young people.
I thought he and Warren could turn us around...who I wanted...
Good lord, both Pete and Brian are on fire in this video. 100% all the way through
Agreed
I wish there was more fire when the Republicans were stacking the Supreme court.
@@goldencalf5144 I wish there were more votes when the guy who appointed these hideous SCOTUS justices was getting elected
We need fire! Because apathy gets us leaders like Trump, McConnell, and Graham. All lying hypocrites!
MAGA
As an 89 year old Canadian. What a refreshment. We have missed this sanity America. Look after him. Love.
A lot of Americans miss it, too.
So much respect to Pete Buttigieg for being so eloquent when explaining what is happening right now with our fundamental freedoms. We need more conversations like this in the government.
This was the best speech I’ve seen in a long time.
And I've been saying this for a long time: ruclips.net/video/hzUGFXKj7hM/видео.html

I love this man. I'm glad he's on the right side of history AND HERSTORY

Augh...the cringe

He is SO easily, comfortably, thoughtfully articulate !!!
Brilliant man.
I'm 37 and I've lived to see some bad times and good times in my life. I've seen such progress that's been made. Now I'm bearing witness to end of a country and our freedom.
He is our future-my daughter’s future. There might be hope, yet🌈😻🌷
Welcome to the American Taliban.
Let's hope that there are enough goid people in government to keep trumpers from taking over. I feel like we all need to do more so fascism doesn't take over.
I'm 63 and I remember alot of this BS that's happening AGAIN. We're going backwards not forward. I remember the fight for abortion the AIDS epidemic and how certain people were treated. I remember Vietnam and how the veterans were treated.Then all the wars after that. I remember seeing the KKK allowed to gather in the middle of town and spew their hate.We need to move this country forward. We need term limits and an expanded supreme court. We need people like him in government.
Register and vote 🗳! We cannot let them get control!
This man has intelligence, wisdom and humility. We need more like him, the world over.
Is he breast feeding today or working?
You set the bar very low, my friend.
Here Here.
@@robertjensen1048 LOL. and your guy Trump doesn't even have the vocabulary to qualify in the ranks of Pete, no matter how low YOU set the bar. Which is pretty damn low. and Trump STILL can't make the lowest bar set by MAGA LOL
@@barbaraann6229 A chronic and CONSTANT mistake the Dems(and you) make is to assume that anyone who dislikes Biden or any of his administration is a Trump fan, a Trump a voter, or as you guys say "Trumpers".
It's simply false. In fact, I voted third party in both the last two presidential elections.
Logic means realizing that a person can dislike untrustworthy compulsive liars such as Biden and Buttigieg, without also liking liars such as Trump.
Perhaps politics is an "either this OR that" type of game for you. Not for all of us. Both parties are filled to the brim with liars and scum. The sooner you realize that, the better.
What an intelligent, articulate man. A truly gifted orator
He should be President of the United States.
He's studied Obama very well.
Republicans attacked Congress to overthrow the government and abolish your Constitutional rights altogether.
But, yeah, someone gave a speech, so, you know...
@@James-kc4ft He studied in school very well. He fought for his country very well. He is an intelligent, articulate person. Unlike you, he doesn't feel the need to trash idiots like you. Bigotry is very unflattering, as well as dangerous because it is born of hate. You will never be half the man hehas shown himself to be, by action, word and deed.
@@James-kc4ft The brightest kid in class.
Here is the most well though and compassionate politician we have seen since JFK.
He's a strong man, a brave man, a hero.
He is standing up on behalf of the vulnerable, including himself and his family, and he is not blinking.
He would make a fine President.
I would have voted for him hands down in 20 if he hadn't dropped out.
I think he will make a fantastic leader still young but he has plenty years ahead of him
Needs some more experience under his belt, but he's certainly on the right track
I doubt america is ready it won't happen unless we get rid of the electoral college
Yes agreed, but dont see him becoming president, a gay man as president is like taking away the 2nd amendment, blasphemy for many conservatives.
With all their gerrymandering and the electoral college highly unlikely
Wow! What a fantastic speech! He's so spot on. "If things that hurt people help you get more power, people will continue to do it."
Frighteningly profound. It's about as cynical a strategy as you can employ, and the fact that many choose to employ it is sickening.
As long as they can get away with it. Am I wrong?
Mitch McConnell 👀
Register and vote 🗳! We cannot let them get control!
Such an intelligent and articulate man.
Exactly.
This is why I volunteered for a year for his campaign! Brilliant man! Great Human!
I campaigned for him in NH
As a Brit living in France I never thought I would witness such a complete and utter breakdown of a Democratic country as I am witnessing in the USA. The structure of your governance makes little sense to me, where a governing party has absolutely no power to take a Nation forward with policy because a Republican Autocratic opposition appears to block and destroy policy for their own gain. To watch a male dominated Supreme Court possibly overturn a woman's right to make decision on her life is beyond belief. In this speech, Pete Buttigieg displays control, intelligent argument and an understanding I have not heard from any Republican, however, the Republicans receive far more media cover for their idiotic, small minded and generally mistruths along with their generally immature and obscene behaviour than any Democrat with actually something of structure and policy to say. Watching the USA tear itself apart is beyond comprehension.
As a fellow Brit living in France, I agree with you 100%.
As an American, the only thing keeping people sane is knowing in the long game, Republicans are digging their own grave.
@@GreenEnvy. I truly hope that is the case, but in truth I feel many Americans may not realise that should the republicans re take power they will ensure that they will not relinquish power😞
I'm an American in Texas and this insanity doesn't make sense to me either. I feel like I'm watching the destruction of my country and many of my fellow Americans are cheering for it. It is heartbreaking to say the least.
@@larryh7760 Many of us watch from abroad hoping that by some miracle the USA will find its way 🙏🏻
How refreshing to listen to a well-argued, articulate, poised man.
I'm spellbound by his intelligence and argumentative capabilities. It's refreshing to hear some speak other than someone that has the IQ of a fig.
Yes compared to joe brain dead
Pure BS, you only like him because he is a PPTTFF gay.
@@magnus9165 I like him because he can put forth a cohesive, cogent sentence that parses.
Sadly we haven't had that articulate and poised manner since Obama left office. It is sorely missed.
Amen my brother. As a woman who had a life-saving abortion and grew to become a mother of a Trans child, I thank you.
This guy is what our country needs !!!
You give me hope Pete. Thank you.
Mayor Pete is such a breath of fresh air. His speech is clear, concise and concrete, he's a truth-teller, wise for his years, and a true leader.
Look just because he makes some yuppy speech doesn’t make him a good leader.
He is just mimicking President Obama, I don't blame Pete. Obama is an epic speaker.
Give him time! Pete just came on to the scene, I'm looking forward to what this mans potential is! Cheers
@@billrivers6566 yuppy speech? Huh?
@@auntiepha8343
Knowing what to say is a huge part of being a leader.
Just because Pete is also well educated and an excellent public speaker, doesn't mean he's copying Obama.
Articulate, intelligent and compassionate....so impressive!!!
I'd definitely consider voting for him in 2024. We need someone young, intelligent, compassionate and hard-working.
I'd also consider Stacy Abrams, Katie Porter and Jamie Raskin.
He and Raskin are a special type of verbally skilled orator who come across on rare occasion. I would be happy to have either run our lost and withering country.
This man needs to be our next president, period! He has the intellect, good experience , great speaker, common sense, and is balanced in his ideology... Whenever he runs, he has my vote!
Republicans will never allow it to happen
@@RPlavo What in the world could they possibly do about it? They can't get their own plane off the ground.
@@FJDP924 THEY had a plane?! :D I know Trump had a plane.... but hell, it's broken! If Pete doesn't run, I will write in Zelensky. Now THERE is a piece of work!!
he was my first choice last time. I was ready after 4 years of total stupidity to vote for a empty can of soup. that's exactly what I got. if women are so dumb we cant's make these decisions the burka will be next.
@@gnomielove7232 I totally agree.
This is a very important video. I like how Pete can calmly and clearly explain the issues and the methods extremists use to get their way. Brian’s elaboration on the moral issues was also very helpful.
Moral issues? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Pete is fantastic. I worried we were so surrounded by shiddy men. But the best people available, Biden chose. I love his choices.
@@lolodee3528 The best presidents surround themselves with intelligent people.
@@MTM-qb2st Bless your tiny little Heart🙄❗
@@lindabryson6629 And our worst president ever put people with an agenda in every post, not wise good people, but ones wanting to push right religious greedy agendas.
@MTM2020 why do you think it is not a moral issue? Christianity is not moral- more have died in the name of christ than any other reason in history by far.
Thank you, Brian Tyler Cohen, for bringing us Petes' outstanding speech and the truth as always!
.
This guy was my choice after the first time I heard him speak. Since then he's proven himself to be a temperate and reasonable paragon of grace, dignity and yes, intelligence. Imagine a president like that.
Me too!
Biden.
Yup...he's one of my list...him Raskin, Porter, Goldman, Jared
I worked about 40 hours a week for his campaign the first time...got to vote for him in the primaries....ready to do it again!
We have had and have a President like your description. . Likely in our future Pete will be a candidate for our President. Given our circumdtances, Biden is proving a fabulous President. He has no dementia. He does suffer fatigue and has stuttered since a child. He conquered it, but as one grows older and gets tired during ghe work day, managing a stutter is tougher. Where you thought he made a gaff, he was just avoiding a stutter. Biden is fine!🇺🇸💙❤️
Brian, please get an interview with Pete again! I think hearing more about his thoughts on his speech can help launch his 2024 candidacy. With Roe v Wade on the line, it can be a power play so to speak, to propel his campaign. I believe that this country is hungry for a young, well spoken, veteran, who can truly see the issues and what is needed to deal with them on a progressive level.
YES!!! *Pete 4 POTUS - 2024*
I really want to see this man as president in my lifetime. Talk about a leader! Easily a global leader.
Yes! I really want Buttigieg to run, for all the reasons you stated. And I believe he is the best choice to speak clearly and convincingly for our party at every opportunity.
I passed the line. I tried to carry on a pregnancy, against medical advice, after repeatedly losing all of my amniotic fluid starting at 5 months. Less than a week later I was sick and I had felt my baby strangle himself to death. Those who would take that choice away (the anti-choice, obviously) are bigger monsters than those they imagined.
I just realized that most of the non-abortion stories are probably anti-abortion BECAUSE it sucks so much for the people with the "other stories" to share. I hope no one else has to do this.
Hun I'm so sorry for what happened to you. ⚘
❤️
Blessings to you and prayers for you
I’ve loved Pete since he first stepped on the campaign trail and he continues to astound me. He will be President one day and he will do remarkable things for this country. He give me so much hope! He’s articulate, but not elite, he speaks to all Americans in layman’s terms, it’s a beautiful thing to witness.
I hope so!!!
From your lips toGods ears
I agree and hope for the same.
Me too. I adore him.
I agree, think he will be a great president one day if everybody votes intelligently. How likely is that??? ... i hope so!
The most intelligent, articulate, honest politician I have heard in years. He should be on the ballot in 2024. Katie Porter would be a great running mate.
Sounds good!!
These two do their homework.
Oooh! Agreed!
I agree - I WAS READY TO VOTE FOR HIM FOR PRESIDENT BEFORE, AND AM STILL READY TO DO SO!
Agree! Amy Klobuchar is also brilliant and a fighter.
I'd forgotten how much I liked Pete Buttigieg. He's such a kind, thoughtful, intelligent man. I see him doing great things in his future.
Totally agree
It's so refreshing to see someone so intelligent, so articulate and so wise. Pete for President!!!
Maybe Pete could be our President? I would love it! 💯
I would vote for him. But too many people can't get past him being gay.
He DID run for president, but he had to drop out.
@@rebeccarebeccaa2515 it's so sad, because by all appearances he has the kind of close, loving family that anyone could be proud to be part of. Contrast that to the horrorshow that is The Former Guy's family--and yet 45 is the darling of the "Christian" Right.
@@natalieharless1715 correct sadly, I was hoping to see him go further in the debates as well as more prominent position (s) Glad he's where he is now though and on the road to bigger things for our country hopefully.
Pete’s strength, courage and compassion is always inspiring and giving me a sense of hope. We definitely need more leaders like him to bring back the trust in politics.
This guy brings back the standard of "presidentiable". Finally, an intelligent man in office.
He chose to work for McKinsey. He is terrifying.
Agreed! I hope he becomes our next President!
The fuck is “presidentiable”?
I hope he makes it the highest office in the land.
@@judithrochin256 That certainly doesn't, for me at least, preclude Buttigieg's exquisitely ideal status as a future Presidential candidate. I'm not looking for a perfect person because such a person does not exist. I am looking for someone who has all of Buttigieg's qualifications. He is brilliant and has supremely excellent values. How fortunate we are to have him among us and willing to serve his country. I'm older now and may not live to see him perform in the highest office but I believe he will do a splendid job. Think of what he won't do, as compared to some of the men who have held that office.
I want someone with THAT level of intelligence and empathy for others to be the next President.
Can you please tell me where they were during the primaries? Sadly missing as I recall.
I agree
Can you imagine him and Katie Porter on the same ticket! Unstoppable!
Pete
@@randibgood No. Because Katie Porter has principles and he goes with what he thinks will work.
I’m always in awe when this man speaks and hope there’s many more like him around. How lucky those kids are to have him and his husband as a fathers.
Oh same here!
He should run for office!
Pete is the most thoughtful, intelligent, articulate, refreshing voice in our country today.
I agree 100%!!
This is a phenomenal and painful speech. He brings everything together so clearly.
A speech that will have zero impact in swaying the Conservative Supreme court judges. Republicans play hardball and get the results they want. Democrats feel smug making fine speeches and get whipped every time.
I hope I get to see this man, Pete Buttigieg, president of USA before I leave this mortal coil.
I'm Canadian and even I hope for you to have that man as President soon. So articulate and "adult " . Refreshing to listen too in between all that crazy noisy nonsense that is happening in the US right now. Unfortunately, it seems like craziness is a highly contagious desease and is starting to infect this side of the border too.
@@sheilaboston7051 agree!
One of his many gifts is to articulate everything so clearly.
Coherent, calm, collected
And able to think on his feet.
A breath of fresh air from the usual rants by politicians.
ABSOLUTELY 💯 PERCENT
It's actually 4 C's. Coherent, Calm, Collected, and Clueless.
ROBERT JENSEN, "clueless" as to what?
What is it Pete is not aware of that he
needs to be? Please tell me and I'll
pass it along. Anything constructive
to say Mr. Jensen?
@@garyowen3662 bert is a dumpkin putin loving troll! One must always remember most conservative voting fools do so for no other reason than that daddy was a racist republican. All of then cannot name one so called conservative that spent less than the previous liberal! Just imagine having to have such a low level of critical thinking ability, to continue to vote that way! Not to mention the criminality of republicans it’s like 37-1 people working in presidential administrations, and that’s not counting the lying criminal nixon or the orange buffoon dumpster!
For me, what is going on is heartbreaking. I am just shy of 80. Females had no rights when I was starting life out. We fought so hard for our rights and the rights of others. I remember when black kids weren't allowed to go to school with white kids. I remember being denied a raise because a male co-worker needed it more because "he is the breadwinner." I was a single mom. To see us move backwards like this is actually terrifying. Every human deserves the exact same rights. I don't care what color they are, religion, orientation or anything. Every person. No man or woman should tell me what to do with my body. No one has a right to tell me who to love. All of this is so wrong. What has happened to my country.
Well said.
I'm 72 and totally bewildered by trumpers and conservatives. He hate is stupid.
At a glance, I would say it's a lack of attention span that allows flashy but shallow and ineffective people like Trump in. Also, the pervasive effect of capitalism at its seeming apotheosis. America as the hub of capitalism in the world is suffering the effects. Best of luck out there!
I understand why we have addressed the rights of various groups, women, blacks, LGBTQ etc. but the problem with that in my mind is that we create categories of people. We find divisions to make. As you stated everyone should have EQUAL rights based on the fact that they are human and alive. It doesn't matter the color of your skin, where you are from or who you love, the fact that you are a living breathing human should allow you the same rights of every other human.
@@falconquest2068 and that’s idealistic mind frame - that’s not going to change because it’s just become part of being human - the labels. The question is the here and now and what you can do.
I love Pete! He's so well spoken and smart. He completely answers questions and his off the cuff answers are well thought out and presented in a logical manner. I hope we see a lot more of him.
I have always listened to him talking. The calmness in which he expresses himself. Gosh I hope he runs for the white house one day. I will be proud to call myself a proud American again.
You should keep being ashamed to be American if this is all you aspire too.
I agree, there is something special about him and I'm hoping he can run for the Presidency.
We nede more MEN like HIM ♥️
What an incredibly articulate, noble, well-spoken, measured and compassionate person. As long as there are people like this in America fighting on for social justice and equality there is still hope, in spite of all the hate.
LOL, He isn't doing a thing, he gave up and worked for Joey.
I would be incredibly proud to call this man Mr. President.
I love Pete. He is a breath of fresh air. He gives people hope, which I think right now is very rare in the U.S.
I agree. I really like this guy's attitude and compassionate insight into humanity.
He should become the next president!
@@GeorgAubele Have you seen the comments about Kamala ? You really think a nation that elected Majorie Greene and a segment that thinks democrats are pedophilic infant blood drinking communists would vote for a gay president ?
He chose to work for McKinsey. He is a sheep in wolves clothing.
@@judithrochon4246 so what?
The justice department needs to indict the three Supreme Court Justices who lied under oath at their confirmation hearings. The minute the decision is released.
And as the children are born, republicans will refuse to help with insurance, food or housing to care for these kids they demanded you have!!
They all lied on the right.
The process to remove federal judges is for the Senate to impeach them. And they SHOULD do that.
Yes!!!!
Yup. I understand it’s never been done before but it CAN BE and SHOULD BE. It is right and just. I’m so sick of the liars getting away with their lies. And this lie has life and death consequences. If they are not impeached, then Biden needs to get 4 more judges in there. India has 24 Supreme Court judges.
Pete Buttigieg is brilliant and such a compassionate, genuine human being. I hope and pray he becomes President in the not too distant future.
I have several good candidates within the democratic party and none within the republican party:
Jamie Raskin, Cathy Porter, Elizabeth Warren and there are more.
@@okkietrooy6841 quite different from Mango Mussolini, Ron Deathsantis, Cancun Cruz.
Agree. Plus having another veteran with battlefield experience again would be awesome. Haven't had one since Kennedy.
I so hope so. Such a difference of him to the ignorant judgmental right
@@okkietrooy6841 dont forget BTC, he will be eligible soon!
He is brilliant, sensible, logical, moral.
Pete is the future... He gets it
Hopefully we still have a future 😥
Agree!!!🌈❣️ But the gop will ruin our nation before he can run. Sadly.
Look just because he makes some yuppy speech doesn’t make him a good politician.
@@billrivers6566 what does in your mind?
@@billrivers6566 But he was right..
When all you have is a hammer everything starts to look like a culture war and all the Republicans have for a solution is a Hammer..
"did we just live to see the high water mark" that hit me like a ton of bricks.
Same here. Democracy as we know it, may never be the same
so now we know what the coded message is to the MAGAts - We really want to roll things back to the post-civil war era.
It's the "Take a deep breath, then say no" for me. Round of applause for Pete and Brian!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏾
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
So glad this intelligent man is on our side. What a man for this era, an articulate spokesperson. I support him 100%.
I desperately want a woman to finally be able to be president. HOWEVER Pete is my exception to that. He is level headed, has common sense, ariticulate and most importantly has an abundance of intelligence! He would make a great president someday. I'd vote for him in a minute.
Agreed! I am really hoping he is VP under Harris and then President in his own right. Think of the good they could do!
“Hungry babies are the price of a free market” - Pete Buttigieg
Pete and Katie Porter would be good choices.
Me too love this guy, the best!
Isn't it great listening to a politician speaking in an educated and quiet way, instead of screaming and throwing their toys out of the pram 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No. It’s not. If Pete genuinely cared about these issues, he would be angry. He’s detached because he knows they don’t affect him.
Omg yes!! Speaking clearly, in a well maintained voice, without curses, lying, yelling, and name calling. What a difference. I can listen, think, and make a decision in my own mind.
@@vitogulla With some people, the quieter they get, the angrier they are. Let his actions prove his sincerity--or not--then judge.
@@vitogulla Arguing with passion only fuels the fever of the opposition until they cannot even hear the very valid points you are making. It also leads to holes in a speaker's arguement via ommissions or misspeak.
Absolutely. The RUclips I watched before this one was posted by "YTY" showing Lauren Boebert in a speech, making personal attacks on Biden and fulminating rants about irrelevant topics during the House decision re: funding Ukraine's resistance to the Russian invasion. What a difference from Buttigieg !
Jamie Raskin pointedly called Boebert out for not doing the job Americans elected Representatives in Congress to do.
For heaven's sake, vote the Trumpublicans out of office in November - they are dangerously dysfunctional!
"Amen" to Pete's speech of the year on the implications of the current unhinged and backward-moving possibility coming out of SCOTUS regarding abortion!! Just "Amen" !!! I look forward to more from this brilliant man.
Separation of church and state is an absolute must and the SCOTUS is a part of the state as a part of the judiciary branch.
Please don’t let this man get away! We need him desperately to bring us wise guidance. Don’t let Republicans & Born-Again Immoralists drag him down.
A wonderful articulate speaker. If only more politicians could be as coherent and logical as Pete Buttigieg.
I agree, but the unfortunate fact is that a thoughtful, civil discussion will not stop the Republican’s agenda of evil. I think that Americans are going to have take bold actions. You could start with something peaceful like a general strike to temporarily choke the economy. Look, the American far right actually funded such an attempt in Canada and just closing a couple of border crossing cost us billions. If supporters of women and minorities refused to go to work until equity is restored, how long would it take for the country to cry uncle? What could the American right say up about such a tactic? They supported it. They cried “freedom” and even showed up in Canada waving flags. Give a taste of their own medicine.
Sure, it’s a pipe dream, but it’s better than war and everyone knows that it is better to die fighting for freedom than it is to live as a slave.
@@piktormusic2538, unfortunately women and minorities are underpaid for their work and cannot go on strike without undermining their financial situation. Such an action requires considerable organisation and an ability to convince the workers it’s for their benefit. I can’t see that happening.
@@MrRecrute - The idea seems unrealistic and you could be right, but if you consider what is happening in Ukraine - suspension of normal working life, strong resolve in the face of losing independence and freedom, communities supporting each other, people making do with whatever they can - this might not be as crazy an idea as it seems. Ukrainians have been at it for months. I do not believe that America could stand such a general strike for even a month before something had to give.
Love you Pete so humble, intelligent and thoughtful 🙏🙏🙏
What I find astonishing, as an Australian looking at the USA, is how on earth did Americans vote for a guy like Donald Trump to be president, when you have such intelligent individuals like Pete Buttigieg, who was passed over in the last election. This says a lot about American politics.
American people not American politics. Scary ...scary...scary....
He has a shitty record and appeared to have sold out early in the game. Not everything that glitters is fishscale.
There will be endless books, movies, specials, documentaries, dissertations, etc on how Trump made it to President. His story is not even over yet. I predict his downfall will be his last chapter. It’s complicated, twisted, and distasteful how it ever came to be.
Coz when inauthentic corporate Democrats do nothing for their base and only serve their corporate donors, people feel like they have no choice but to vote for an angry fascist. Democrats are almost as much to blame for Trump as Republicans.
Watch the videos of Christopher Lynn Hedges, he can give you an insight on how Trump becoming president happened.
Buttigieg has never been at a loss for dynamic and consciously spirited dialogue. He hit it out of the park on this one. Bravo!!
He comes off as a really decent, nice man. A neighbor you could trust with a key for emergencies.
Uh... I point to you every single democratic primary debate he was in in 2019/2020
@@Momofukudoodoowindu This was a more prominent speech given the significance of the topic.
@@KnowTrentTimoy hmm... I disagree with the idea that a topics significance determining the substance of the conversation to be impressive or not is how to conduct our expectations, than treating all conversation substance, with respect to political issues, with consistency.
@@Momofukudoodoowindu Intriguing perspective I don't necessarily concur with. The degree of substance can also match the relevant topic of the day as in this discussion.
Pete for President! He is so well spoken and can't be shut down by the opposition. He is voice we need in politics.
Mask In pic 🤣🤡
The great communicator Mr.Pete outstanding in my estimation!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo, Pete! I deeply admire, respect and so appreciate your clear, wise words. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
So Right , People need to wake up and get Mad !
Yep get mad at the democrats who didn't use the power given to them in Nov to stop the obvious threat to Roe.
Jay S just another sweeping generalization 'democrats' that points blame with no qualifying reasons or clear subject.
No one else in American politics speaks so well, so coherently, so humbly, so honestly.
Bernie has been doing it for decades.
Compassionate, articulate, intelligent, great orator, he's everything I'd want in a President. Plus he's a veteran, Rhodes scholar, and speaks 7 languages. Mayor Pete is a favorite in my house. Hope to vote for him in the future for President.
I envy the US for having him. Wish he was a Canadian politician.
I truly hope we get a chance to vote for him… The ramifications of Roe v Wade he’s correct Republicans don’t have any answers just things they argue about… so they’ve found vulnerable people and pick on them… it’s all politics … I do not believe in taking rights and freedoms away…
why is he not running for president
Debbie St. Onge hes prob who dems will choose over Biden to go against Trump who I don’t doubt will run again.
I will vote for him definitely
Such a well spoken man. We need more like him.
I have had the privilege to vote for him twice as Mayor and yes, he transformed South Bend!
He will be the best president ever. No doubt in my mind.
A beautiful and very real speech.
Not since JFK have we seen such a man.
We need more eloquent, articulate, and intelligent speakers like Pete Buttigieg as another voice of reason in our government now!
But a big part of the USA does not want reason because they can not opose reason.
@@ramarkble101 I’m sorry but 30% is a minority! They are trying to force their own views on the majority!!! Time to vote everywhere! Don’t vote alone! Take two or three people with you! This democratic republic depends on it! They will put a man in to do away with the constitution!! Bet on it!
@@ramarkble101 I agree critical thinking is sinking around us.
Pete Buttigieg is a hero of straight-from-the-heart talk! He is so kind, open-minded, and hard-working…..how does trump get air time? It boggles my mind!
Unfortunately the way to get air time is to say outlandish things, do outlandish things.
Trump get airtime because it's the dumbing down agenda that is being push on us. That replublican Matt Gaetz said to much education is bad thing. They hate someone like Pete because he is smart and have some normalcy about himself, yes I know they hate the gay side also.
He’s whip smart too and articulate.
"If it bleeds, it leads."
trump who ?
This man is solid. He is grounded and so aware of parameters in our world.👍💕
I found the whole presentation by Buttigieg, and it is definitely worth the hour listening. An impressive man.
