"Mercilessly grills" damn so the English language dosen't mean anything anymore huh?
That's Republicans for ya.
Trump destroyed it .... bigly!
@@thewaffle003 Which specific Republican?
😂 thank you. This channel’s editorialised description of events is comical.
i feel we are not watching the same videos. nobody grilled him, those rep were dramatically not prepared
Remember when Forbes was a respectable media outlet?
Not really.
Expected to scroll through the comments and be disappointed, thankfully that's not the case.
"Mercilessly grills" You've gotta be kidding me. What's their definition of that, trying to silence someone when you know you opened a can of worms that you don't like the smell of?
exactly@@sgtcreasegrease
No, what you mean is 'remember when Forbes only told us biased things that we wanted to believe.'
@@Remember_when Lol, this wasn't a grilling unless Buttigieg was the one cooking the steaks.
I love the way the guy behind Mayor Pete is looking at him. His expression is like WTF? Wonder if he is one of Pete’s people?
Propaganda comes 1st through the WH Admin. Then to The “News”ie; CNN, NBC, CBS..The VIEW 🤦🏼♀️
The guy behind him is Dude what did you say?
People? Or queens?
Also as a tax payer they should be taking Frontier or Spirit airlines
Elitists don't fly commercial. Private jets only!
@keaka560 Those airlines don't always take you where you need to go.
@@exdemocrat9038 Pete is hardly an elitist. Did you even listen to him? Nearly all of his 600+ flights were commercial, coach class.
😊😊
Booty Juice can take a ValueJet flight. Oh wait, they had crash problems and went bankrupt. Good enough for Booty Juice!
Now tell me again what makes this guy qualified for this job.
Try doing your own fact checking...smh
@@Remember_when Try understanding what a rhetorical question is.
It’s pretty obvious why he got the job as transportation secretary, and it’s definitely not because he’s quantified, it’s because Joe Biden admires his lifestyle choices.
Never pass an opportunity to gay bash? Try stepping into the 21st century, or simply expire.
@@Dieselpower440 Duh, but the comment deserved that response. You people think that archeology is just a plastic pail and shovel. Everything is so simple in your minds. smh
Commercial.just means "for availability to pay to the public" it does not mean regularly scheduled "commercial" airflights, it covers private smaller jets. Landing at private airports
After hearing about what he does. I can't figure out what any of it Matters.spending millions flying around the world doing nothing
He’s following his bosses work ethic. You know the “Big Guy” 😉😉
He does a lot, it's just too big brain for you at the moment. Upgrade your understanding of the world, maybe you can be a big boy and work in government one day too.
If only he was flying to play golf like Trump, right?
That's a flight every 4 days.
The country has over 330,000,000 people and 3.8 million square miles. Considering the fit repubs made over him not being in East Palestine the INSTANT it happened, I'm not surprised he flies so much. Some Americans understand that showing up to throw toilet paper at people isn't the same as helping.
How dare the transportation/infrastructure secretary travel ... seriously that's like part of his job.
Mercilessly Grills Pete Buttigieg?? Thats what you call mercilessly grilling ? Looked to me that he was unprepared and was afraid to raise his voice to Buttigieg.
I clicked on this expecting Buttigieg to be "Mercilessly Grilled".
Instead, Buttigieg came across as intelligent, well-prepared, sincere, articulate and forthright, while Burlison came across as having an agenda of wanting to make Buttigieg look bad - but it backfired.
It appears that Forbes is slanted and biased in its titles.
"Christmas" is only said in relation to supply chain - never in terms of the actual meaning of the holiday.
So you think that this hearing should have been a discussion about what Christmas means to you?
Not a fan but, Pete ate him up!! I am glad you asked!😂😂😂😂
I guess you mean that literally !!!!!
@@davearnold748 No!....😂😂😂
Imagine watching this and thinking Buttigieg got schooled.
I wish I had a dollar for every time one of these jackasses said „ I’ll check and get back to you“
you'd be a millionaire just by Mayorkas alone!
You expect them to know everything by heart?
Or I can't comment on an ongoing investigation
Somehow you're ignoring how he came with figures.
@@Simonchez yup he came with figures because he knew he was gonna get stupid questions like that.
Out of less than 1000 days since he’s been in office, he’s traveled 638 times?
I know he’s the Transportation Secretary, but wow. Where is he going & what is he doing?
Islands.....
Whatever he likes. He KNOWS there will never be any real consequences. His boss will pardon if needed.
When he traveled economy on flights with his twins did he chest feed ?
I don’t want to imagine what Butti “Does”… cause it’s clearly not “work”
he is the perfect example of hypocrite. He gets paid to travel so he will keep doing it.
This is disgusting and stop asking people who are broke to donate if we support to change a law ask the rich people
'Mercilessly grills, Forbes?' Surely you could come up with the usual 'Attacks, Pounces, Drags' jargon, rather than conjure up yet ANOTHER.
Where exactly are these 37,000 PHYSICAL projects, your words. Wherw are they located?
That's a good question. I wonder if there's a database.
America, cos successive governments both Republican and Deocrat haven't been keeping up with maintaining your infrastructure
638 fkights,! ? Incredible.. why isn't he in D C?? Worthless..
Could be a scary thing going down those "racist Highways". I might find Buttigieg there pedaling his bike. 😂
Sounds like my corrupt union. Have to get back with you on that.
And Pete blew him away with facts
I have ocean front property here in Arizona I will sell you really cheap it even has a pool!!! I mean hell if you actually believe ol butthedge I am will to accept your money. That snake did nothing but sale pitch. That is it ! If it were facts then why is he not able to put on record that the money for all these projects are in fact only in an account specifically for said projects? Because just like all the other Demoncrats he touts well in three or four years it will be ready for them. But by then he will be long gone and you will have forgotten about this !; I have driven on California highways and honestly they are the absolute worse roadways I have ever seen or driven on in my 50 years of walking this planet so not sure where he can say oh I'm great at my job. He was right about one thing you don't have to have a passport to board a plane if you a us citizen but you have to have a valid ID and the MIGRANTS don't have either so he just lied
That wasn't facts he was blowing...
What is he done who's all those flights I see nothing accomplished 😅
He is such a hypocrite
He acts like the little people are beneath him.
little people know huh.
Does he know how human beings are actually reproduced? Male and female. No other options.
They are, he is a globalist
And the” bottom” . One can get pregnant easier that position…
They are
Brandon's appointments have a problem with answering questions without going off on a tangent that doesn't answer the question.
He totally answered the question 😂....with detail
The Republican slung several accusations that have nothing to do with Pete .
These Republicans are trying to tell others how to govern ,and ignore anything they have accomplished 😂
I thought he was going to say 6hundred something hours. Damn Over 600 flights, with the technology we have today you don’t have to go to every damn meeting in the world.
And who prys for all those flights Pete?what a waste.over 600 flights?For what?
Expose these people 😊
Is this Congressman playing WHO'S SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?????😅
The question in my view... You are the first
638 flights?! Wth!
Ground this fool he’s doing nothing but flying around on our dime, my gawd.
I heard nothing outrageous, but I do see a lot of hypocrites
All but me. 6 stipulations. You burnt me out..
"I came prepared for this and brought the numbers. I have flown....."
"How much did all that cost?"
"Uhhh I'll have to get back to you"
😂🤣😅
How much did Elaine Chao spend on travel? Did anyone care?
Rewriting history, I see.
@@getitboy83you a historian?
@@jesipohl6717 no need to ask you.
A nation divided will not stand.
any guy with his last name should not be allowed to do anything!! What a spineless traitor and he trustplays both side of the fence.. I dont him at all.
Burlison really didn't get anywhere with this 😂 shoulda prepped better
Impeach!
When Buddijudge heard Mr Burlison mention nuts,his eyes got big and he started to blush.
😂😂
Nuts is what’s rattling around in your head.
hahahahahahahahaha reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee louder!!!! boy@@getitboy83
Supply issues are worldwide, by the way, not just in the US.
Huh.
@@thewaffle003 yes, what a revelation, right?
@@paulgoudfrooij6561 I wish the Republican had told me that.
Bull, spreading false propaganda alert.
This dolt knew he would be asked about his flight time, so he produced the approximate number of flights, but couldn't, and didn't, produce the receipts of how much the cost was. Truly amazing the level of deception and unaccountability.
We all need To call our representatives no to electric Cars
WHY HAVEN'T I'VE SEEN ANY OF THE DEMS QUESTIONING PETE...?
Because it only the gop that is so stupid to bring the matter up, Trumps travel costs for his first stint in office were higher than any previous so called president most of it spent going to play golf and staying at his own hotels, so filling his own pockets with your tax payer dollars, maybe you should question him before squealing like a girlie.
@@davedixon2068 I saw another article with a Dem comment to Pete just after a GOP rep was done with his '...(climate change) 'it's called autumn' & Pete's response of 'no, that's seasons'. The Dem said to Pete (I'm paraphrasing) 'Now you see that I'm working with the best minds from the 19th century'!
Supply chain issues with burnt down Food production factories??? 37k is an exact number but ESTIMATES ON YOUR SCHEDULED FLIGHTS?? lies.
And you know this how?.....thought so
Not a single person in this administration is qualified for their job. Not one.
Really ?
@@kennethrabb5420 Name one qualified person.
Pierre is the best example of “not one”.
Incorrect.
@@thewaffle003 name a qualified appointee, I’ll wait.
Any way you say it, the tax payer pays for your travel.
Pat yourself on the back...no one else will🤔
Sec Bootie Juice
You're rude.
Shame on you.
He know how many flight but someone can’t plug those costs in a worksheet?
Over 600 hundred flights. That seems like a lot.
Disgraceful
He has no experience whatsoever
Monica Pete! See the splurge on his coat?
Pete is an empty suit bowing to the woke DC crowd.
Pete in every case has proved he is an itelligent, competent, moral public servant as opposed to the MAGA corporate tools.
He is excited to address use of planes and BRING ONLY ESTIMATES..REALLY??
because the reason for the meeting wasnt how many times do you fly
Christmass will never be cancelled 2a "real Christian" because it not about the presents to us 😇🙏 i raised my daughter to undersrand that Christmass is about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. It is not her birthday, and kings gave the gifts to Jesus, not the commeners😊😇🙏
@@poollife777 awe arent u proud if yourself. U cought me accidently pressing an extra s 👏 hopefully u smart enough to get tge point
@@poollife777 o o i accidently spelled the wrong. Make sure u let me know about it 😁
Christmas to Pete is a new plane like object to ride upon all over the country.
@@gordonyoung2741 💯
what are you wafflin about oldie
WE CHECK BACK WITH YOU ON THAT . NOT SURE OF THAT RIGHT NOW BUT BE GLAD GET BACK WITH YOU BS BS BS BS .
Stop shouting.
Burlison is embarrassing himself. Way out of his league.
So a guy who uses private jets is questioning another guy who uses private jets?????
This is the guy who had an suv drop him and his bike dropped off near work so he could have the appearance of biking to work. He has no credibility.
Dang. Pete wiped the floor with that poor summer child.
He wiped his mouth after slobbering on one....
@@gary50900 your personal fantasy i assume?
@amrajkhan9371 I would say you're mommas, but you probably don't know what a woman is...
@gary50900 your momma, to you a republican would be your sister!!
@@amrajkhan9371 Is your daddy trans...lol
Hes lying He flew on a private jet everywhere
forbes i recommend proofreading transportation in your header is misspelled
Ride your bike Pete after your gas powered SUV drops you and your bike a mile away from the office. President Trump coming back you better hit the unemployment lines. FJB!!
How is a highway racist? 1 billion and I can barely aford my bills. Pisses me off.
Racist highways? How could a road be racist?
Highways built right through neighborhoods without any regard for the people living there. Maybe it's racist, maybe it's not, but it's always done through black neighborhoods.
@@thewaffle003it's racist.
Same guy probably would wonder how a burning cross could be racist ....
Does anyone else just hate Pete Buttigieg’s voice?
This is a ludicrous description for this video. Good grief.
Hes the gay elite
and you are attracted huh.
@@yepyep340 no,he's a fraud
@@randysimmons9838 y'all better get John Durham right on that!😆
@@yepyep340 dude everyone can see you struggling to project your habits on others.
He ain't Elaine Chao
I cant even get anything valididated.
Of course, the guy who says we all have to drive. Electric cars get the phone around by our tax money in a private jet. While we all try to feed our families.
Dripping arrogance is disgusting. He won't let them use drones because it will stop most of the derails.
False.
Liars!!!
82 thumbs up for Eric Burlison -- -- 0 (zero) for Secretary Pete .... WOW! -- 82 to nothing
To Eric Burlison - facts are important!
Never seen the video itself ratioed so badly. Every comment here roasts Burlison except yours. Which makes your comment look a bit deluded.
Not many people there do they work for their income?
Get rid of this fake..
He isn't.
Burlison is a total fake.
Traveled so much that he couldn't visit the only high speed rail program going in the US lol.
Incompetence reins in....bs.
Just the 2 flights a day
Burlison makers unsubstantiated claims again.
That would be a better headline.
607 out of 637 flights were commercial economy class. The "private jets" are government assigned planes assigned to USDOT and flights on those made up less than 5% of his travel.
No electric vehicles
Untouchable
At keast he actually has the #s ill give him that
There ya go.
For a guy supposed to fix potholes that's a lot of flying around on the taxpayers money
Total misleading Title. Pete is probably the best one on one speaker in politics. This Congressmen is trying to hard to get a Gotcha Question and Pete shuts him down flat every time.
I don’t understand the title of this video at all
Brings figures for one thing does t have them for the other question that is more important
Republican Gets School By Secretary Buttigieg. There. I fixed it for you
I was more productive in the office than traveling; maybe stay and work, conference/video call from D.C. and reduce your personal carbon footprint (walk the talk) and taxpayer costs.
Mercilessly grilles?
More like embarrassing himself by revealing NINETY FIVE% were commercial economy class and the rest even cheaper as he tagged along on gov't flights.
😂
Good job grilling...yourself!
Dis you notice that he didn’t break it down.
A doughnut wins a house that the 95 % was by everyone else in the department he mismanages, and he racked up the 5 % in private jets all by himself, or with a few other top management, senior confederates.
@@edmundworrell530 Do you understand that using gov't transportation has the potential to be cheaper?
As the dude preaching carbon abatement necessities dumps 50,000-60,000kg of CO2 into the atmosphere since assuming the role... and has for months dodged the audit requests. Is your brain smooth?
@@TheMrRichard
Do you agree that representatives need to travel?
Do you agree that economy seat on a commercial flight is a reasonable way to travel, from both cost and carbon perspectives?
Do you agree that hitching a ride on a govt flight costs less (same Co2 tho)?
Do you agree that there currently are no viable zero emission options for personal transportation?
PS "smooth brain" snark is unhelpful
@@think2023 I don't think averaging .7 flights per day during extended duration of lockdowns while many Democrats stuck to "e-meetings" will ever help you in an argument, regardless of flight type- it's a psychological deflection and downplay. How many times did you fly in the 959 days of Pete having been in position? I think you need to understand firstly that "zero emissions," is at best an oxymoron and at worst- a way to market to "the mentally less fortunate."
Lies lies lies
The Christmas Booty speaks of is 2021, where he was on maternity leave the first 3 months of the Biden Ministration....
your tax dollars at work
I would’ve called out Bun Fun Pete’s racists highway insanity and make him explain that typical liberal woke crap 💩
How can he breast feed on time if he can’t fly at least 700 miles an hour. What has he accomplished for the taxpayers that are here. Everybody knows it it’ll be like at George Jetson. floating apartments and putput flying cars hundreds of years from now but what is he doing today.
Talk about a bunch of crooked Lawyers bashing another crooked Lawyer.
how about answering the questions directly instead of changing the subject?
"How many flights did you take" ......"607 economy class and 30 Government jet" What change in subject???
