JUST IN: All Hell Breaks Loose When Eric Burlison And Secretary Pete Buttigieg Spar Over EVs 

Totally agree!!!

When he said that, and the video ended I literally said out loud, "I wish it would forever."

Thank god

Yes!!! Smartest thing he said.. by far!!

That's for sure, he just got Pete-shredded.

Pete Buttigieg, Katie Porter, and John Stewart. F@€k around and find out. 👏 👏 👏 🧠

They literally can't. Even the most cursory research will show that all the talking points they have are completely refuted by facts. EVs catch fire at a far lower rate than gas powered cars. A study of NEW CARS shows EV fires occurred in 0.0012% of EVs worldwide between 0 and 3 years old. Gas cars showed a rate of 0.1%. That means around 75000 gas powered vehicles caught fire worldwide last year. If they were all EVs instead only 900 of them would have caught fire.

They know exactly what they are doing...

Because it's what the right does now. Lie. Make stuff up. Trump does it so they do it.

He's the best. ❤

I noticed that too 😂

When he drops the 0.5% stat 😆😆😆

ABSOLUTELY!!😅

Clear thinking. Thanks. Just like my dear lost dad.

Spot on!

How very true!

RIGHT ON THE MONEY (literally) 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 💰 DING! DING! DING! 🛎

1 - it's not "dino juice" No dinosaur has ever gone into the making of petroleum. Oil is made from decayed plant matter. It's much like the sludge you find in swamps. 2 - EV's require tremendous amounts of plastics, all of which are petroleum-based anyway. 3- lithium to power said EV's comes from exactly one place on the planet right now. China. North of 80% of all lithium is mined in China, most of which is along the Yellow River. Currently, over 93% of the world's lithium is refined in China. China does not have the environmental regulations surrounding such industry as western countries do. In fact, they have exactly zero environmental regulations at all. This is why the lithium mines in China and the sludge pits around there, are the most environmentally toxic places on the planet. 4- Most cobalt that is combined with the lithium to make the batteries, is mined with literal slave labor in Africa. China currently owns and operates all of those mines. Before you get on some pedestal about the second coming of the battery of Christ, actually research the topic so you know at least a little bit about what you are talking about.

I mean… your air conditioning stops working when you run out of gas, too.

Don't worry it's a really silly story. The "12 VOLT" (operates up to 14v) battery died on the car. The parents panicked when they could unlock the car with the remote FOB.

@@danielboyd4079 Yeah, I suppose it would. It would stop the engine from running so the AC would go off, too.

Not to mention how many children are left each year in hot gas powered vehicles and firefighters have to be called

@@beverlyseavey7445 I like how the Republicans are trying to sell the whole batteries are dangerous thing but are fine that we all literally ride on tanks of ultra flammable and explosive gasoline when we drive regular vehicles 🙄

yes

Pete Buttigieg for VP

Hopefully that day is sooner rather than later. He is the opposite of a politician.

I had hoped we would get to vote for him in 2024. The only strike against him that I saw in 2020 was his lack of federal government level experience. I was so happy for his federal appointment. I thought 2024 would be Pete's year. Then the DNC went and screwed us with that nonsense of Biden running for a second term. Biden's attempt to hold on to power was disappointing to me in so many ways.

An incumbent looking for a 2nd term is pretty expectable

exactly, thats what they do best. Complain but offer no solutions

@@convinceme6676 Rock on.

😂😂😂😂 so true. Butigieg is no dummy. He comes with receipts. He does his job and does not gaslight like these committees.

😂

Never take on Pete Buttigieg without doing your facts.

I beg to differ that his time makes him credible. 😊

He really thinks he slayed with that one. 😂

Cringe? I thought it was a hilarious roast!

Ya think? They've had Senators and Congressmen in their pockets since the day Rockefeller figured out how to refine oil into gasoline.

Exactly 🩵🩵

@@pamelamccall5653 😆 🤣

He’s way too smart for them😂😂😂

Just like all the other Maga BS, they dont have facts, just fantasy

You're right Pamela. Pete is not just smarter than the Rs trying their gotchya crap, he's prepared with facts and he has an honest agenda. Republicans are too deep in big oil pockets to be able to focus on any positive initiatives that Democrats propose because it means, in their eyes, a loss, even if it's good for Americans.

Eric represents my state . I can assure I didn't vote for him. Eric appears on a FOX radio channel , KSGF104.1 that is constant Conservative word salad. The Nick Reed Show. Nick is in the early am , then they move on to the bigger names.

The Oxford professors make you verbally defend the argument in the papers you write. Few universities do it at the undergraduate level.

Eric looks like he prefers talking with friends to investigating facts, and simply received a talking points sheet from his professional 'friends' in the lobby, tucked it away, and read it on the way over to the House. Not really an adequate strategy.

@@MarthaDwyerThis should be common practice in American public education, in high school and above. It’s just as important to have the capacity to share and teach others your knowledge than it is to have knowledge in the first place. It’s apparent our current government is incapable of engaging in actual scholarly dialogue and it’s deeply hurting their ability to govern, and by extension actual Americans.

There is no one in the entire Goofy party ticket (GOP) that can match Pete's intelligence. "My time has expired" is the best that the goofy republican could mustered out. Yet, these moochers in the Goofy party ticket get $175,000+ from the tax-paying public and even more by their corporate bosses in the armament businesses.

And the best thing about Pete is, that he not only looks calm, sollected and smart. He definitely is it!!

@@ChristianBubeck-e3v Anyone who thinks evs and trains are the future, can't be all that smart.

​@joecole7122 do you think we have an endless supply of fossil fuels?

@@ethanc4389 Yes. We keep finding more. And where is the electricity going to come from to fuel the EVs. FOSSIL FUELS. And no, wind and solar won't cut it. They couldn't produce anywhere near the electricity we would need. Only nuclear and fossil can do that.

😆😆💯💯

The questioner humiliated himself, though, trying to push a false narrative. The Secretary was respectful and objective throughout. If all politicians lead with integrity, imagine what could actually be accomplished--and quickly!

Agree! Pete Buttigieg has the intelligence, poise, and vision needed for the presidency. His ability to articulate complex issues clearly and effectively would be a significant asset in debates. It's time we move past outdated prejudices and recognize leadership qualities regardless of sexual orientation. The focus should be on his capabilities and policies, not personal aspects that have no bearing on his competence.

@SolunaCreative On which particular planet? Nothing but an unqualified, Brandon toadie, pushing the nonfeasible EV mandate to make China richer.

Yep, and scared of a woman, too.

​@@stefanheuldoch883 I can't believe how much that answer flummoxed him. If you're going to ask a question like that, you better know the answer! It just shows how unprepared and clownish these reps are.

Incredibly sad you had to explain that but here we are..... it's 2024 and humans in this country seem to be devolving. This was a disingenuous argument from Burlison. What a buffoon!

What do you do when the battery goes dead and the electric locks don't have the power to unlock?

@@user-kr1zj6lm2u My car doesn't operate that way. I can unlock the car by pressing the button when my keyfob gets near it. I don't believe it has anything to do with the car's battery. Plus, there is a regular key in the keyfob, if that doesn't work. Of course, I have a Volt, and it has a gas engine if I run out of electricity. I don't know why they discontinued the Volt. It's a great car, especially for this transitional period between gas and electric cars. At any rate, I've never had any problems like you describe. And btw, I would have bought this car without any rebate. I like only rarely spewing crap into the air, and it looks hot!

I wonder what percentage of the sticker price that EV is worth now as opposed to a gas vehicle.

@@carlsanders7824 I wouldn’t know since I’m 78 and have no intention of selling it. I bought it new, and it has given me very little trouble. Plus, it looks snazzy!

Congratulations. What I don’t understand is why they keep attacking EV’s when one of their biggest donors is Elon Musk.

​@@Peanutbutterb00b5exactly what I can't wrap my head around too😂😂😂 . I mean whose side they are on. They don't seem to be in any side ,but take all side to. Boy they are a total chaos.

​@@Peanutbutterb00b5 Musk has talked about making donations to the trump campaign. Has he actually made any? You'll recall that he's also talked about ending world hunger. As to the republican stance, it's pretty simple - compare donations from the battery and EV industries to donations from the oil industry. Then compare the number of people employed in red and purple states by battery and EV companies to those employed by oil and (traditional) car companies. While we're at it, if republicans accept any of the environmental arguments for EVs, they make it harder to defend the coal and gas industries - also significant financial and electoral supporters.

Most of the misinformation cones from this Nazi dude names Elon.

What is the max miles you can go on a single charge and please be honest.

@@pahtar7189 come on, everybody knows All politicians are corrupt in one way or another…..‼️‼️‼️

Uhhh, the Cratzi Party cares about "health", after putting thousands of elderly to death in nursing homes during the Covid hysteria, and after confining Black and Hispanic city dwellers in disease friendly apartment complexes After the flu season had ended? The latter move boosted the death rate among African-Americans to four times the national average......

Burlison is not prepared for this conversation. I am a republican' and see clearly Burlison is having a bad day. Maybe he has 12 day old jet lag or a cold. My concerns over the charging stations is the money. The gov is terrible at managing stuff like this. IE Solyndra etc There is a sweet spot for EV's in our economy we need our leaders to get this right. Recently, I watched CEO of Ford talk about EV's Burlison should of watched it. Elon is working on lithium refinement in Texas we need to figure out how to solve refinement vs letting China dominate refinement.. Lithium is common, the challenge is refining. Yes the gotcha stuff is not productive.

Well said!

@@mikeross1880 , the government is terrible at managing it but they are not terrible at handing out subidies to produce things. Just like the oil and gas industry has trillion/billions of subsidies, they can divert some of that into renewables/charging stations and what not in the private sector. All the gas stations didnt get built over night and I do not imagine the charging stations would get built overnight either. Anyway... while all this is going on in regards to EV's , the USA is producing more oil/gas than it ever has in our history according to the EIA record keeping.

Or a Supreme Court Justice lying about the source of his $300K motor home and Vacation Club savings accounts, right?

Every. Single. Time.

@@elainesutton7183 Pete mops the floor with every Republican he faces. I don't understand (as a non-American) why he's not running for President, or why he dropped out of the previous race. Probably because mainstream America is too stupid to recognize sanity, good judgement and decisions based on valid scientific facts!

Every time!!!

Again!

We love to see it!

or probably has a nice back hander ;)

So nice to see common sense. In DC it is all about the gotcha moments. They want it to spill to the people because it is an election year. But I'm an expert in auto field and I can tell you as long as we don't just KILL fossil fuels (and our economy with it) it is a very good idea to try to transition away from them. Most of our new cars are damn near zero emissions but if they aren't maintained properly they can cause pollution. Anyway, Buttigieg destroyed Burlison here. And because his questioning was so partisan...I actually enjoyed it.

Burlison looked like a guy who didn't believe the talking points he was given and knew it would only be a matter of seconds before he would be embarrassed by a strong Secretary who saw through his bull.

He's talking about what the majority of the Country is saying. We don't need EVs or crap depending on charging stations.

@@edwardjones5977 no, the majority of the country is not saying that. But you believe the talking point if you want.

they don't actually have concerns or care, the people they represent who put money in their pocket do; I don't know how it is is Norway but in 'murka you can buy just about anyone with a mixture of power and money. If you have values, you will be replaced; those in congress know this, so they think better that I'm here than some other guy.

And also they did financing deals, some even at 0% interest. You know it's not easy selling cars produced with yesterday's technology.

Every gas car on the road is subsidized and have been for decades. $5/gallon gas would easily be $10+/gallon without taxpayer subsidies. EVs are much less subsidized than gas cars.

All oil and gas companies are heavily subsidized, if they weren't all of us would be driving EVs by now.

Congress has been subsidizing the oil industry for decades

I have never had to break glass in my car because the battery died. I put a key in and turn it and it unlocks the lock. When I drive to Florida i stopped twice to fill up with gas. Took 10 minutes, Drive 2 states in an ev, had to spend the night to charge the car, guess the hospitality industry will be getting phat

@@mikeposey7358Your comment about EVs is completely false. Average EV gets roughly 300 miles to a charge. Most owners have Teslas which have ranges north of 300 miles. It’s common knowledge Teslas use the Supercharger network, and while ICE vehicles refuel quicker, fast charging on average is roughly 30 mins - even less charge time while roadtripping due to the Tesla’s navigation system optimizing your charge time with respect to the destination. Other EVs have similar, if not faster charging. Realize there are actual EV owners on this platform. We know what’s true and what’s not about our vehicles. I guess you just felt like being a liar today - either that or just misinformed.

@@QuintanBrassfield and mikeposey7358 is making a bad faith argument anyways; no one is saying the grid/the company's infrastructure is already equipped for all vehicles to go EV--that's where we're headed, and that takes time, that's common sense.

@@christopherivan1790 It is also such a bad faith argument because 99% of charging either occurs at home or at work, as well as the fact that 90% of trips occur within 10 miles of the home. Long distance support is important as something we have to work on and we are making consistent progress but they are all ready far more convenient and cheaper for the way they are used the vast vast majority of time.

"The battery died in the electric vehicle" as if that cannot happen with a gasoline car? Does gasoline power the locks on the doors???

They would run on Kerosene or moonshine if the couldn't find gasoline.

​@@wysetech2000which lessened the life of your car

Same guys!

That's why the most successful early town cars in Europe and America, owned by the wealthy were electric .. the fuel engines kept catching fire were dirty and kept breaking down... and still use the same kind of batteries. Still the same, the first vehicle to exceed 100km ph/ 60mph was electric.

Early cars had ranges measured in tens of miles. I'm positive the arguments back then would have included things like "My horse can walk all day."

You forgot what govt is supposed to be like 😅

And oil companies don't need subsidies either

US subsidizes the petroleum industry somewhere in the range of 20 billion per year.

2028!

True

Burlison was mandated by his masters in industry to punch the buttons of a list of issues favorable to them, regardless of how foolish it made him look. This is much of how a republican government is run. Do we want more of this or less? There are some democrats who accept the tainted money under the table, I'll admit.

10 times out of 10, yes. lol

I think Pete enjoys these debates. He would be a wonderful President. Can you imagine the oligarchs heart attacks having to face him? ❤

Near the top of his class at different universities, veteran of a 7 month deployment to Afghanistan, and a succesful career with McKinley consultants. Agree with his politics or not, you need more information than what you get from facebook posts to debate Buttigieg.

According to a 2023 study, electric vehicles (EVs) are involved in fewer fires than gasoline-powered cars: EVs: 25 fires per 100,000 sold Gasoline-powered cars: 1,530 fires per 100,000 sold Hybrids: Appear to catch fire most frequently

He should be scared. Mayor Pete does not suffer fools and can articulate a rebuttal better than anybody. If it wasn’t for a bunch of homophobic, intentionally ignorant voters he would be headed for the presidency someday.

​@@MauricioRosasI agree. 60x more ICE fires.

@@Longtack55 That might be true but his point was that it takes a lot of water to put out a battery fire.

Yep, Buttigieg destroyed him. He comes prepared to those hearings. Burlison wasn't ready for the 0.5% number for sure. The refreshing aspect of Buttigieg is that he has not problems admitting when errors are made and challenges are to be tackled. He would be an exceptional presidential candidate. Unfortunately, the homophobes in both parties don't allow that to happen.

Yea, many live aboard boaters use lithium batteries. They are better batteries and the technology improves yearly.

The point is when the EV battery dies you can't get in or out of the car. If you like EVs by all means buy one but the government has no business trying to legislate them down peoples throats by unelected bureaucrats like mayor Petey

Not my taxpayer money on this boondoggle

With all due respect, auntlala4971, have you driven an EV yet? For me, and many thousand others, an EV fits perfectly into our lives. We are able to charge at home overnight, have the car heated or cooled to a comfortable temp. when we leave. It has a range that fits our daily driving needs. On a daily basis, there is no compromise for use, drive as you would an ICE vehicle. When we travel we can schedule charging stops along with rest stops and/or eating while the car charges. I will agree that right now tech has not reached the level of making them optimal for all. I do think the time is coming though.

Exaclty. I said the same thing as soon as head said that

He knows that it'll hurt his sponsers who sell oil.

What people fail to realize is that most people will be more likely to run out of gas than to have a dead battery. If you charge at home, you leave every morning with a “full tank of gas.” Your garage becomes your “gas station”

lol, his logic has expired too.

Not a lot, if you sweep the forests, first.

More appropriately how much water does it take to extinguish the fire burning a country down?

One of the best one-line remarks I've heard.

ev fires do take considerably more water and time to put out. they do shift dependence on opec for fossil fuels to dependence on china for batteries. those aren't lies; even if the guy stating them is probably a fossil fuel shill who's pointing out the downsides for the wrong reasons. they're also more dangerous to work on because touching the wrong part isn't just a burn but can mean instant death by electrocution, which means training mechanics will be more expensive. they're heavier than ICEs of the same class, so their braking distances and impact velocities are greater, making them harder to stop and more deadly in a crash. america has a problem with car-centric infrastructure and ev's are like a band-aid on cancer. they have some upsides, but what america needs is fewer cars, more walkable and bikeable neighborhoods, and more trains. we don't need everyone to go out and buy a bunch of expensive new stuff (and send their still functional old stuff to the dump) to fix pollution when pollution is only one of the myriad things wrong with car-centric infrastructure.

Really you are such a joke

It is entertaining and laughable though.

EPIC!

Oh Petey

But you can still unlock a gasoline vehicle, not a dead electric vehicle! They don’t spontaneously explode like batteries do! They are also unable to be moved or towed unless you can get inside and figure how to get the vehicle in neutral which can be impossible in some models!

@@Angela-iv7qyYou’re expressly thinking of Teslas, to which that brand would be the last EV I would ever consider. GM EVs still have a mechanical key that slides out of the fob. Context is everything.

Teslas do have a backup mechanical handle, but only in the front seats

@@Angela-iv7qy a simple google search: "According to a 2023 report from the MSB, electric vehicles (EVs) have averaged about 20 fires per year over the last three years, out of about 611,000 EVs. In comparison, fuel-powered cars, which number about 4.4 million, have had about 3,400 fires during the same time period. However, some say that when looking at the numbers as a percentage, EVs are actually less likely to catch fire than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. For example, research from EV Fire Safe suggests that passenger EVs have a 0.0012% chance of catching fire, while ICE vehicles have a 0.1% chance. A study by AutoinsuranceEZ found that EVs have 25.1 fires per 100,000 sales, while gas-powered vehicles have 1,529.9 fires per 100,000 sales. Tesla also claims that the number of fires involving their vehicles on US roads from 2012 to 2021 was 11 times lower per mile than all other cars."

@@Angela-iv7qy the gasoline vehicle also started out with some kinks.

He's just repeating the fear mongering going around social media. Getting into an argument with Buttigieg with information from memes and fake facebook posts. I'm surprised he didn't show the video of a truck on fire hauling propane tanks, saying it is 2 EVs that collided.

I think he breathed in too many lead fumes from gas cars as a kid.

I love it!

Pete was being deceptive in his answer of .05% being bought by FEDERAL Gov. How many State and Municipalities have bought EV's because they were given grants from the Feds? A LOT! Electric busses bought that don't work and the company has now gone bankrupt so they can't be repaired. He said 80% of EV's are being charged at home...OK! But people who have that option are a small slice of the motoring public, so what's going to happen to all of the people who don't have that option? They must rely on public charging which is totally inadequate and while Pete said 'we've doubled the number of chargers'....they need 100X or more of what exist today. And...he didn't explain where all the power is supposed to come from to charge all the EV's if they flood the market with them? We're not building Base Generation and 'wind and solar' isn't going to cut it. You can't force a switch over to EV's quickly without the supporting infrastructure which doesn't exist now or for the foreseeable future. They're forcing companies to mass produce EV's that aren't selling and costing them BILLIONS of dollars to build vehicles that people won't buy. It's lunacy.

@@recoilrob324 electric car sales in the U.S. have increased dramatically over the past 5 years, mirroring trends around the world. People like to save money on gas. And the cost of production is gradually closing in on ICE vehicles, as the technology improves. The rest of your points are mainly about infrastructure. There aren’t enough charging stations. Sure, and at one time the road system for cars was patchy and unreliable. We didn’t tell people to go back to riding horses. The road system improved because there was no choice. Cars were here to stay.

Brilliant.

@@recoilrob324 If you don't have the option to home charge don't buy an electric car. Which bit of that doesn't make sense?

@@chrismoore7606 Tell that to the government.....have you seen what they want? They want to ban ICE and force EVERYONE into EV's. We're saying that they won't work for the majority of people being that most don't have home charging as an option. And...the grid won't handle that many vehicles either. Pretty simple.

You have made a pertinent observation. I wonder how we find out that information. I also wonder how much these seemingly-useless hearings cost? Somebody knows the answers to these questions.
