BREAKING NEWS: Screaming Match Breaks Out Between Scott Perry And Pete Buttigieg Over EVs 

Pete is a former Naval officer. You should show a little respect for the people who served.

Is this a joke he is terrible at his job! What does that have to do with him being a Navy officer?

Great point

Do you think a gay man joining the military is some selfless act? Do you think it gives him a pass for wrecking the economy serving the climate cult on the left?

He is not serving us well. Being a former Naval officer does not grant him the privilege of being wrong and sinister. He is earning disrespect. @@mezenman

Are you even a functional person? The government is improving on what was a mess in 2020.

Are you? Ostriches have their heads in the sand, I guess that qualifies you as one.@@ahboaz

What about the millions of mechanics who don't know anything about EV cars, and even if they try without the proper education, they will get killed.

He's lieing it IS THIS administration Biden the crime family

ya well you should have voted all these people out but guess what you still vote them in and well as Einstein said insanity.. "expect something different by doing the same thing over and over and over again"..

The extra weigh of the electric cars don't help with the added cost of more severe accidents

Something to do with 🔥🔥🔥?

And that is being shifted to everyone else. Wait till you see your auto insurance renewal

@@chrislapp9468 An electric car's higher price tag and more complex equipment means it may cost more to repair or replace if it's in an accident. That can mean higher rates for policyholders who carry comprehensive and collision coverage.

⁠@@414pancake The equipment for an EV is simplified but the insurance rates are up because for even a small accident, the whole battery tray has to be replaced.

or grease fires, so they can't put out kitchen fires either.

China made yes, not many Western made.

There are already developments on that area. Most of the arguments against EV are based on the assumption that there won't be changes. But that's simply not the case. The problems are approached and fixes are in development.

It's show biz; these attacks by congressmen are for the soundbites on the local news back home.

Keep voting red then. It doesn"t seem to matter that all your red votes have led you to poverty apparently

Amen

That is the truth

Gasoline powered cars catch on fire at a higher rate than EV's.

That tech is so yesterday, Solid state batteries solves this problem

One of the most sensible replies I've read.

All about control.

You can store 100 gallons of gasoline in your backyard but when the power goes out, you ain’t going nowhere if you own electric car, and they control the switch…….

Dude, I've been saying that for the last 5 years.

No one talks about it but... Gas tanks have a limited range, too.

Sounded like raised voices to me

Regardless….electric vehicles are crap! Crap to own, crap to environment and crap to the economy!!!!!

Don't you know were are saving the planet by using the Ev's ? While we are destroying the environment in the process of making these "green" vehicles

There are some valid arguments to be be made but this isn’t one of them. Where in the country do you live that you can’t get to an EV charger and what horrible ranged EV did you buy? (doubt that you bought one). No way does a 3hr trip turn into a 5hr trip. I’ve driven 14hrs in the winter and at 80mph and only spent 2.5hrs charging total. And IF your circuit breaker is tripping because of the EV car and a vacuum then you got a bad electrician or you did it yourself and you had no idea what you were doing.

Scream this from the roof tops .

@@rmk7230 probably lives in a mobile home like me, where it's very easy to overload a circuit breaker without even trying.

There you go again, confusing Tenwatt Buttgiggles with facts.

@@yvonneplant9434 There were also people in many states drinking water at the time, right at that very moment in fact, so yeah, there's your cause and effect right there, the fist fight and those morons drinking water.

The Republicans can't allow someone to spew facts and to make sense, because that makes them look bad by comparison.

And yet he lies with every breath he takes

No more battery reload stations is fine by me!

Well, 1900 is just about where the GOP/GWP would like to put the US, so electric cars should be fine with you all.

You know lighters were created before matches? They weren't as popular as lighters up until manufacturing made it easier to distribute that technology. Once it did, we didn't need to rely on a technology that is inherently disposable. Batteries are way more powerful now and everyone has electricity in their homes and all around them where that wasn't the case in the early 1900s. There are a ton of other inventions that were invented long ago but weren't able to be marketed because manufacturing wasn't available.

like the Kevlar shields to prevent damage to the battery from road debris! sure it's heavier, but that is the cost of safeety.@@LawrenceHortonRocksAllTheSocks seriously though, in an electric vehicle you're sitting on a fire that cannot be put out by firefighters. gas is literally safer than lithium batteries.

Forbes is famous for tabloid type title lol

As well as continuously publishing pure propaganda.

Nice response... deflection sEEMs so satisfying as it distracts.. but is USELESS.

Bless your heart 😂

There is nothing! Please wake up!

What are you waiting for? Plenty of those jobs available in my area. I have more than a few friends making over 100k building turbines. We also have a ton of solar fields going in. Do you live in a red state by chance?

@@mezenman Nope ca. they pretty much killed the home solar program, the solar fields are about a 3 to 4 hour drive from where most people live.

Hell, we're still waiting on Obama's "shovel-ready" jobs. 😂

Perry never gave Buttigieg a chance to answer any questions. It was a string of loaded, lopsided questions that were meant only to say political points. Perry didn't want an answer.

Seriously? Apparently you didn't watch the whole video. Buttigieg answered the questions like a gentleman but Perry constantly cut him off, especially when his answers were too intelligent for rebuttal.

Seriously, Petty only stated smug responses that make him look intelligent. He absolutely answered the questions that were only asked inside his mind.@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481

@@swiftlytiltingplanet8481 hey child, I don't know if you're just trying to sound like a tool but he didn't answer the questions. He was only giving his statements to questions that were not asked of him. He was evading each and every single one of them. Pretentious much? He knew what as asked about the price of EVs for people that make less than 100k a year yet at the same time defending the thought that "rich" people were excluded as if this was some kind of justification for the current now. Over 100k+ per households were excluded from any government program, "well I need to point out that wealthy people were specifically excluded from the inflation reduction act." What a joke this dude is! This act btw was at a time where people still wouldn't be able to afford a EV!!!! SO WHATS THE POINT IN SAYING IT OTHER THAN "EVADING THE QUESTION"

@@somethingotherthanyou5124 You do know that we have several EVs priced under $30,000, right? He never evaded a single question. The rare times that he wasn't cut off, he gave cogent, well-thought-out answers, not evasive ones. If given time to explain, Buttigieg would have made a lot more sense to you, but he wasn't given that time. Here's some information you're apparently unaware of, and I'll give all my sources so you can verify them for yourself:: The electricity required to drive 15,000 miles per year in a compact electric vehicle costs an average of $546, while the amount of gas required to drive the same distance costs $1,255 (or 130%) more in an equivalent size gas car, according to AAA. (See TRUE COST of ELECTRIC VEHICLES) Electric cars cost $330 per year less in maintenance, according to AAA, or $3300 less over ten years. The average owner can save up to $6000 over an EV's lifespan, according to Consumer Reports. That's in addition to up to $7500 in tax credits for buying one. Yes, EVs in the U.S. cost more upfront but they save consumers money in the long run. In China, where the industry has already scaled up, EVs are CHEAPER than gasoline cars. Price parity in the U.S. should be reached in the next three years, according to Car and Driver magazine. According to Autoinsurance EZ, using figures from the National Transportation Safety Board, EVs are 10 times LESS LIKELY to experience a fire than a gasoline car. EVs' rollover rate is significantly lower than gasoline cars, due to the heavy battery's low center of gravity. It's part of the reason EVs have a 40% LESS death and injury rate than equivalent gasoline cars. EVs front end crash test results place them with the very safest luxury gasoline cars. EVs have instant torque, allowing you to get onto the highway far quicker than an equivalent gas car. Last but not least, emissions from EVs (from their manufacture and from their energy sources) are significantly less than that of gasoline cars, even in states that produce most of their power from coal, according to a two year study by the Union of Concerned Scientists.

They all are. Its what happens when an election is compromised and the selected are forced upon us.

But we lost even more jobs during that time due to covid?

AHHH! FACTS! RUN AWAY!

Also when they say there is more then enough jobs the fact is 90% of available jobs are low pay McDonald’s etc… and the jobs we lost were high paying skill or trade jobs… so they say the truth sometimes just leave out the fact that our good jobs are being shipped out

@@patriciajordanwoods2003no we didn’t… there is a big difference between lost and put on leave… 🤦‍♂️

I wonder why job growth was so strong at first for Trump. Could it be that Obama turned over a growing economy? What did Trump turn over to Biden? What did Bush turn over to Obama? What did Bush turn over to Clinton? Why is the truth so hard for republicans to except? Bottom line is republicans are good for the top 1 percent, democrats are good for the other 99 percent.

You mean when Obama took office during the latest repube recession that he got the country out of and saved the auto industry?

No it wasn't. People did not want to work beside a no mask trumper

I thought I heard a few lies in there from Mr. Pete.

@@ralphewell8398 Name one.

Is this supposed to be some kind of gotcha?

I saw a diesel vehicle being towed by an Electric tow truck.

Name calling shows your level of maturity. I'm guessing you're in middle school?

And how many ICE cars were being towed at the same time?

@@johnl2727 Sadly, these people vote on mass.

They won't let it happen! They will - in the words of the Pennsylvania AG, caught on a hot-mic - "keep on counting until the Democrat wins."

Thus having compete control over every individuals life. And lets not forget CBDC….

@@susanlombardi3845 Exactly!

Yes it's called control control control if not us our kids and grandchildren if you don't stop this now.

More than that, they want to control every facet of your life, every thought you make and every action you take. If you follow their nonsense to its conclusions, you will end up using the toilet when they tell you and if you don't, there will be consequences for you, quite likely the life or death type.

They want us broke and poor so they have complete control over us citizens. All for there pocket.

​@@justiceformikeandjaynejust1226 - This administration of "weakest links " never considers the unintended consequences of their insane actions. MMAGA Make Mental Asylum Asylums Great Again !

I am quite sure there was a German who worked in the horse shit mopping business in the early 1900s who must have lamented the advent of the internal combustion engine car as it took out the business of horse wagons, as the business of hors shit collection was stabbed in the back by the automobile.

I've heard stories like your's

​@karimhabsi6508 The difference is, both the product and the industry were replaced with something bigger and better. What we're doing here is handing much of what's left of the american auto industry to china. By coercing american consumers, no less. If you think ev batteries are ever going to be made here, or under american oversight at all, you're naive.

EV's are soon going to be cheaper and last longer than gas vehicles.

@@karimhabsi6508 The horse business wasn’t stabbed in the back by the auto business. No one told the horse owners they had to give them up and buy cars. This administration is going to try and force us to buy a vehicle that is so expensive I will never be able to buy it. It’s inconvenient in the least and a f**king pain in the ass at the extreme to keep charged. I don’t have a clue what routine repairs cost but I’m guessing a shit ton. China will own us if certain politicians get their way and stop us from buying gas vehicles. I will probably get a horse if that happens.

It's not just this administration. The rot runs deep in both parities. Unfortunately.

He should move to jail cell

I live in upstate NY and I've had an EV for 5 years... range loss is less than 20%, even down to 0 F. Range, even in winter, just isn't an issue. BTW, listening to Scott Perry and reading through the comments, virtually every negative said about EV's is just flat out wrong. I'm an engineer that has studied the technology and my family has three EV's... the age of the internal combustion engine is quickly coming to an end.

@@dc14522 while you're on your soap box pounding your chest about your precious EVs, the point is the avg American CAN'T AFFORD THEM especially in this economy where people can't afford rent and food...glad life's great for you tho.

@@charliepastrami2813 Two of the three EV's that my family drives were bought without subsidies. That's because I did the math and they're less expensive to own and operate than any comparable ICE car. Granted, I'm comparing them to fairly expensive ICE cars like Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords. So the subsidies are lowering the costs of an EV to the point that a really nice EV is comparable to lower end ICE car. But there are two things happening that will make EV's even more affordable. First, EV manufacturers started with high-end vehicles and are now moving down-market. Second, is what's called Wright's law. It says that the more things a company makes, the lower the cost to make them. Tesla, for example, has grown by more than 50% per year for over a decade, and their costs are coming down with that growth. Add that to a mass-market vehicle coming soon, and you have EV's that are affordable for nearly everyone.

I would never have bought an electric vehicle either if my brother had him convince me that I was three times more likely to be seriously injured in my Toyota Highlander, then in a Tesla. Long-term the tester will save me money in fuel and maintenance. Short term they’re much more fun to drive. They are more relaxing on the long highway drive because of lack of noise and vibration. Range anxiety is never an issue because the vehicle tells you exactly where to go and for how long in order to get to your destination. I watch my fathers drive and get worse as he aged and would’ve done well to have the accident avoidance system that Tesla has, if not go to full distance to full self driving, which would’ve Made it safer for him and other drivers on the road.. You cannot say at this point that you would never drive an EV because you’ve not received a fair evaluation. I’ve convinced 23 of my friends are by Tesla over the last five years and everyone of them is grateful I did so. Not one person backed out and everyone of them continues to drive Tesla. It’s also the car with the greatest American content.

Why Pete don’t pay back for his bribery and larceny he is stealing from us. He should serve at least a hundred years in prison looking at the amount of money he stole

Since when don't Americans want a job? The Biden Admin is investing in J-O-B-S. LOWEST UNEMPLOYMENT IN MODERN US HISTORY!!! And who doesn't want this???

Well said. Any subsidies that oil companies get are because oil is the lifeblood of our economy and our existence. The same cannot be said for EVs and battery tech today.

The government always use taxpayers money for things that some people don't want. Doesn't matter. Republicans are worse

ALL government money is taxpayer money. The government does not produce anything, it exists to take taxpayer money. Unfortunately,the vast majority of our "elected royalty" politicians consider the federal budget to be their personal piggybank, using OUR money as their own, to use as they see fit, and if we don't like it, tough.

Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College and the University of Oxford, He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard. He was in the US Military as a Navy Officer and served in Afghanistan. He has more smarts than many of you commenting. The guy asking the questions was playing political theater looking for specific answers and wasn't getting that answer so he rudely spoke over Pete and would not let him continue to speak because he didn't want anyone to hear the truth.

Of all the stupid arguments to be made, that's the weakest. Agree with him or not, Buttigieg continually shows himself to be one of the most prepared, composed, and reasoned politicians on the national stage. Stick to butt puns.

And before you say Pete Buttigieg, that's how you spell his last name by the way, before you say Buttigieg is doing the same thing.
