Aeroldoth3 the racial divide didnt just _happen_ based on actions by minorities or as a result of well-intended policies. It was created by policies that intentionally diverted or refused minority communities money, education, and general opportunities to have a safe, fulfilled future
@@HH-gv8mx Go to www.meetpete.org and input healthcare or whatever and your question will be answered. Trevor also did not ask him what he thinks about the housing shortage. Depends on how the conversation flows, sorry.
Trevor’s questions are the best I’ve heard yet. He’s challenging Pete and he needs to. There are a lot of interviews with softball questions. The opposite of softball doesn’t need to be hardball. Let’s hear intelligent, thoughtful questions like these and expect thoughtful, intelligent answers in return.
I'm really glad Noah threw the issue of policy specificity in Pete's face. Pete needs to do some serious work on that. He can scream the words "values' and "broad strokes" until he's blue in the face but there's no way that supporters of candidates of Yang, Warren, or Sanders are going to get thrilled about a candidate like Pete unless he's got some strong and specific policy positions. Personally, I think it's ridiculous, but those Warren/Sanders voters can be very stubborn about this and Pete needs all the support he can get if he wants to be the nominee.
@@nobodynowhere21 He does. You are getting ahead of the conversation. However, go to www.meetpete.org and use the center Blankfield and put your policy question there and the database will cough up an answer. People eventually will know to go there until he determines when to get talking specifics. His big problem right now is getting black voters to listen to him. And black voters aren't disposed to a bunch of promises about programs. Not at this point. And there is a really smart take away from that fact.
@@nobodynowhere21 His policy explanations are just built differently. He wants dialogue, so if you want his policies, search on his site and listen to the dialogue. Each video breaks down each question on the side.
@@nobodynowhere21 Yup. That be me. I think he personally is brillaint and will do some great work in the political arena - right now, VP is a good slot perhaps. But no detail?

Web pages can include LINKS TO SPECIFICS while talking in broad strokes, and let those who care learn the details.
@Memento Mori Hence, we get to choose. To represent the people and represent the values associated with them. Sure there's a varying no of options but yes... ultimately it all boils down to what the people need and who they want representing their needs.
@@silentpredator9082 I used to think of myself as a centrist. But honestly, since the late eighties/early nineties Republicans have become unvotable to me. They moved further and further to the right and anywhere else in the world the majority of today's Republicans would be considered right-wing extremists. Just a notch or two below Nazis or religious nut-jobs like Jihadists. The only thing that gives me hope is that Republicans usually don't win the public vote, so the majority of Americans reject their BS. Yet, they manage to remain in power, because of our flawed political system.
@@dsugioaga I acknowledge where you are coming from as a voter but this isn't a healthy viable alternative. You see the right seem extreme because that's how it was supposed to be. Some cases need radical ideologies that are self centered. Given that, I would like to add the fact that not addressing the issues of Republican candidates is not an option. That's a mistake waiting to happen. If we do not check the other half of our electoral system then, there's no real alternative and a dual party system becomes a single party system. Then, what happens? What if a democrat gets cocky and mess up? We have no one else to elect. No real choice. That's how dictators rise and wars start.
It feels strangely odd to hear a politician talking rationally and sensibly in sentences that have a beginning, middle and an end. There is something vaguely recognizable. Where have I heard a coherent, intelligent, friendly politician before ? Oh, now I remember.
he's discussing ideals, not policy or politics. anyone makes you feel good when they tell you happy joy things but not any of the work that goes into it
We are grievously missing everything in the White House, if Mayor Pete isn't on the ticket as President, he should be VP, if not that, he'd make one hell of a Fabulous Secretary of State, he needs to be a part of the next Administration.
Secretary of State is the one position that benefits most from foreign policy experience, which is Pete's biggest weak point. Another position (e.g. HUD) would make more sense to me.
I hope whatever the democrats come up with will be more than finding the winning ticket but actual reform. Obama tried to tackle the issues but the whole framework made that impossible and the direct result has been an insane roll back, even more significant than the roll back of the Bush jr. era. The system is broken, else an imbecile like Trump would have been impeached for his actions and not just cricised for being the wrong kind of fraud for that office. If the next democratic president just tries to continue the wrecked system, the president after him will be to Trump what Trump was to Bush. All that assumed Trump will leave office at all and US americans will start to bother about him breaking the constitution, which is far from a sure thing at this point.
I agree he needs to be an important part of the next administration, a great combo would be Kamala to kick ass and Pete to take names. That might even satisfy the Chuck'n'Nancy Show, that wants to recycle 1970 and really believes Corporations have rights, too - the right to finance their retirement... She can root our the corrupt 'officials' inserted by the Radical Right while he can fill all t he vacancies deliberately left by the GOP in their attempt to cripple Democracy and return to the days when only 'landed' gentry made all decisions.
@@doug12345doug yeah he only served in Afghanistan as part of military intelligence, is a Rhodes scholar and speaks 8 languages. What type of experience exactly were you looking for in a secretary of state? More experience as an ineffective senator? Oh and he majored in history and wrote his thesis on "He wrote his undergraduate thesis on the influence of puritanism on U.S. foreign policy"... He's probably the most qualified person I've heard of for secretary of state.

I like this guy, he's articulate, has clear stances that are solidly reasoned, he acknowledges his failures and how he intends to improve. I think the US could do very well with this man as a president.
Conservatives volunteer and donate to charities vastly more than liberals do; they are not even in the same universe. Conservatives are sick of hearing this guy wag his finger at them and he won't get a single vote from a Republican.
Matt that’s the only thing they found worth keeping from the catholic mother church: the notion you can buy your way into heaven while being an egocentric asshat here on earth. Buying indulgences, dangling pardon carrots to nullify responsibility, all typical republican “qualities” we could easily do without.
That's not what I see. I see many conservatives giving themselves over to panic, irrationality, and idolatry in the face of the changes they see coming: a loss of power to the white Christian male, a threat to the myth of American militarism, of the cult of economic success, of white supremacy and hetero-normativity. The waging of the finger is a finger pointing into the dark parts of the 'conservative' legacy. Work to save your worthy tradition from the demons within and you may yet prove America can be a light to the world. Otherwise you will let it fall into tyranny and darkness.
matthewcong You do not know them. I do, and many of them are really uneasy in their support for Trump. They often chose him not because the like him but because they felt he was least awful. They are often polite, as willing to volunteer as anyone else, and often firmly believe I the power of charities and non-profits over welfare, in my experience. They have a different idea of what is fair, and neither left nor right wing politics get everything right in my view. I think that if it were so simple we would find a way to show people their flaws, but it is not so simple as all that.
I love this interview: Totally feels honest and straight forward. He speaks as if YOU are the most important person and he NEEDS you to understand what he's saying. Even if you disagree with it. As long as you understand. Very Mr. Rogers-like. Pete would be an awesome president!

Yup, I got a strong Mr Rogers vibe from him. I think it's partly in the speech patterns, partly in the directness, and partly in the speaking about what's right without having to lean on religion (sure he'll phrase stuff in terms of Christianity when that's the argument being made by others, but he can speak at length about what's right without it).
@@nickraoyj we do not need another businessman in the house. We tried that in 2016. Clearly not a good idea. I've listened to Yang, and he honestly just sounds like a smarter version of Trump and that is absolutely not what America needs right now. America needs someone who truly cares about the American ideal, someone who knows what is at stake, someone who can care for the minorities.
elementalneil- People fall for the exterior that is why they voted for Obama and why they are enamored with Buttigieg, the only difference between them is one is Black and one is White.
I know a lot of people are wowed by Mayor Pete and he is worthy of the praise. But I think he is just an example of the many young people that get it... if we only started listening to them. I believe we are and will. I really want to see more of Mayor Pete in this election.
Think about this fact.. Democracy is the most anti minority form of Government ever created..

I'm curious about that. Trump won against intelligent people before. He's good at pivoting away from his lack of experience and knowledge by using name calling and other distracting things. Hopefully people can see through that stuff this time around
Trump knows how to pander to his core supporters. Those folks don't like intellectuals, to appeal to them you have to hide it behind folksiness, the way Bill Clinton did.
@@emsleywyatt3400 This is mostly correct - different states _do_ have more or less power in the Electoral College than they should, but it's deeper (and worse) than that, thanks to the abhorrent 'winner take all' system. For those who don't know, whichever candidate wins the popular vote in a given state gets _all_ of that state's EC votes (which are awarded in part by population), regardless of how close the popular vote was in that state. What this ends up meaning is if you vote for the candidate that lost your state, your vote was effectively overturned and given to whichever candidate won your state. This, ironically, means that all Trump supporters in New York effectively voted for Clinton in 2016, and all Clinton supporters in Texas effectively voted for Trump. Either way you slice it, that's a lot of voices that were needlessly silenced.
The defense of the electoral college is it makes sure everyone across the country counts, but it really doesn't. Your vote basically doesn't count if you're a democrat in Mississippi, or a republican in California. It gives more power to people in small states though (6 tiny red states like Wyoming, North Dakota etc have 31 electoral votes with 11 million population total, while New York has 29 with a 19 million population)
It is the Democrats that are attempting to negate peoples votes by giving the electoral college votes to the candidate who wins the national vote not who won in the state where the vote was cast.
@@opossumlvr1023 Tyranny of the minority was one of the original arguments against the college back during the Federalist papers era of our constitution. Why should a vast majority of the country have to go along with what the minority wants? Answer: they shouldn't

KelZ X : sadly anyone sounds drastically better then what we have presently. Unfortunately we have to vote to win democracy back not just for the best person.
I need to give props to Trevor, those were not softball questions. That wasn't a comedy show interview, that was a better interview than I've seen from some reporters. And I also have to give props to Mayor Pete. He gave some good answers. You could see it on his face that he had to really think a couple of times, when he gave a more general politician-y answer, and then Trevor asked him to be more specific. But he was. He gave some specific answers. One thing I'm not crazy about, is how moderate he seems to be on some issues. Education being one of them. I'd prefer a candidate who intends to shake up some of the structures a little more, and get the sense that Pete isn't going to challenge some of the ways capitalism is hurting everyone. However if he becomes the Democratic candidate, he will definitely have my vote.
He does seem to intend to fix things up calmly and without disturbing many people. Specifically voters- but I think there is value in trying to cater to all Americans, that seems to be the purpose of a government. Also I don't think America can handle another "shake things up" president, the country's very divided as it is. Mayor Pete's message around bringing people together sounds sensible and responsible to me. He'd have my vote a hundred percent if I were American.
That's what makes him so formidable. He has a way of reframing issues so that it seems so logical but 2nd look, very radical. But he's honest about it.
@JENNIFER DULCINEA Domingo I was saying that he got specific when he was asked, and that I was congratulating him on it. What I'm less thrilled on is what his specific was. Yes, I think taxes on forgiven loans is wrong. But I think that's little picture, it's addressing a small part of our broken higher education system. He seems like he's planning on tweaking the most egregious issues with our systems but not the roots of the problems.
I think you are not a mellenial as he already articulate that pay teacher's like doctors for them advance education like Senator Warren our next minister of education. Free majority of schools more important higher moral inevitable leads higher standard from the generation like major Pete who experience school shooting when he attended school. Go figure
Holy shit. He totally gets it. What elegance when speaking. Clear ideas, can be simple and yet technical, can appeal to many people, and is so diverse. So much common sense and logic. I can see this man as our President. I hate to say it and bring it up but how the hell did we end up with Trump? It is night and day.
Nature strives for androgyny. Meaning a balance of extremes: females being more masculine and males more feminine, to ensure the most optimal evolution. It's no different in politics. It tends to swing between democrat and republican every 8 years, to ensure the most optimal evolution. Trump needed to be president in 2016, in order to give rise to democratic leaders such as Buttigieg.
Danny B .... According to the argument you put forward, a Republican President was inevitable. Trump is not a Republican in behaviour, speech, or policy. The fact that he was the nominated candidate speaks to an aberration in the GOP in 2016
Check your registration now (if you aren't sure) and vote in the primary. He will be on the primary ballot. Whether he makes it to the general ballot is up to the people who vote for him in the primary.
@@nickraoyj Yang is awesome... unless a miracle happens, there's no chance in hell get the nomination but I'm REALLY glad he'll be at the debates. I want him somehow involved in the next administration.
Man, I really like this guy's style. Calm, collected, modest, polite, likeable and some experience but not enough to be corrupted. Exact opposite of the current President. I love Bernie, but I think I would vote for Buttegieg after seeing this.
Then they are doing their job effectively. The man is smooth, gotta give him that. He is calming and reassuring. I still like Bernie, brash Brooklyn-style honesty and all.
Pete's a neoliberal. Bernie is a socialist and a progressive. It seems like you're judging your favorite candidate based on how they present themselves rather than the positions and ideas they represent.
I did too, until I read this article on him: www.currentaffairs.org/2019/03/all-about-pete Don't get me wrong, I'd vote for thirty nine squirrels in a trenchcoat over DJT, but all indication is what he says and what he is are diametrically opposed in Buttigieg.
👍🏼 Latinos community and black community and white community everyone’s let go vote for this party’s 2020. No matter which one is gone be running,but we can’t that kkk leader still or keeping on power no more !!!!!!!
@@Mbiggz Yeah, by demanding people in low income areas renovate their houses or have them demolished. Like... why do you think they live in low income areas, Pete? Don't get me wrong, I'd love a candidate that walks the walk Buttigieg talks but I just don't think he's that person.
I like this guy. He is not from a cookie cutter. He is articulate, thought provoking, and he answers the question asked not what his talking points are.
I could listen to him talk forever. I love that I can relax while listening to him. No holding my breath, worrying he's going to put his foot in his mouth. What he says and how he says it is so deliberate, intelligent, and earnest. I absolutely believe he would be a good moral leader for the country and a much-needed breath of fresh air.
His ability to explain his ideas in such a simple way is extraordinary. Especially when it comes to the way he is tackling the rhetoric regarding climate change and climate justice. He’s right, the media has, for far too long, been focusing on things that feel far from our reach and, therefore, not as our problem even though all of us are already getting affected by it. I love how he also admitted that he’s learnt things the hard way, not claiming to be perfect but still trying his best to go beyond good intentions. Saying that it’s not enough to not be racist but that we need to be anti-racist is another simple but powerful idea and a lot of politicians have missed the mark there as well. I’m betting on him slaying in the debates... I just hope he gets enough attention to be able to make a change. His book has been fascinating to read, considering it’s non-fiction and that he talks a lot about issues that normally put me to sleep.
I agree! Which is why I'm doing everything I can to pass these videos around so more people get to hear him. I finally have hope for our democracy again. I wish election day was today lol
He's a constant monologue of happy ideals with *ZERO* plans or policies. He's an awesome individual but that doesn't qualify you for President. Anyone can make a room feel happy by telling them about what's wrong with the world and how people *should* treat eachother....But what does that solve? People voted for Trump because he told everyone what they wanted to hear and how hard he'd fight for the working class and was elected on all talk and no work....Look how that turned out.
He works for corporations in a time of crisis. Wake up. Lobbying, campaign financing and the pr industry allow corporations to write laws. There needs to be massive Investment in infrastructure and renewable energy.
I think it's crazy from the polling results on Dem side it seems that Joe Biden is leading. He was Obama's Vice President, and he's weird with personal space. That's really all that I've gathered from him. Next is Burnie Sanders, this I understand. Very vocal, very hard hitting, has a charisma and has held the same unpopular positions throught out his career yet compromises to move forward. and then we have the slew of democrats that want to be the change but have as many faults as qualities in their careers.... and all the way at the bottom we have Buttigieg who is usually listed off as a "check list" candidate, but once you hear him speak, has as much substance as Bernie Sanders. I really do hope the Dem Party doesn't shoot itself in the other foot this time.... it sure seems, according to the polls, that they will.
Mayor Pete is eloquent, sincere, and passionate about his views. I don't think he will have any problem handling the toxicity of our current political climate. In all honesty, I think that he would have a positive effect on our political behavior towards others as well as be a strong role model for all Americans, instead of just those his party represents. Initially, I was all for Bernie. But now, I'm torn between the two. The more I hear mayor Pete talk, the more I like him. If Bernie ends up getting the nomination, I think he should get Buttigieg on the ticket as his VP. I think that the two of them together would be able to defeat Trump and Pence in the upcoming election.
Jennifer, he has already kept his composure and carried on even after that pathetic GOP troll Jacob Wohl failed miserably by trying bribe a young gay male college student to lie and claim Pete raped him, just to discredit Pete and get him to quit his campaign. Jacob was stupid enough to tell this kid he is going after Pete for Trump, to keep good candidates out if the running . Pete didn’t even acknowledged this nonsense and focused on his campaign. Jacob crawled back into his troll hole thankfully. Don’t underestimated Pete, he’s a very smart guy and he’s not afraid of these idiotic zealots.
They will throw anything and everything at him, should he win. Look at what's happened to Bernie 2016, or Obama who's been blocked on every key issue (after he failed to deliver real changes with a solid majority). This system don't want real change. Those in charge have done and will do anything to stop that change from happening.
I really like this guy. He’s definitely my new favorite candidate. He’s just about the only candidate that can talk about racial inequalities and not get all fumbled. He’s smart and articulate. He’s literally the anthesis of our current president. I think that’s why people are flocking to his camp. He’s literally a breath of fresh air from all the other candidates.
I like that Mayor Pete is talking priorities: 1. Democratic reform 2. Climate change 3. Income inequality, etc. This order makes a lot of sense. I haven't heard any other candidates outlining priorities in a way that makes this much sense. This shows he has EXECUTIVE talent, and apparently more than any other candidate so far other than possibly Governor Jay Inslee (also an executive).
So very impressed! I'm being swayed one word at a time. Great interview as always Trevor! Comedic news is ironically more accurate and factual than mainstream news these days 😂😩
Every time I hear Mayor Pete speak, I am blown away by how logical, clear and concise his thought process is. No bull shitting or avoiding answering questions like politicians. This man gives me hope for our future ! Kudos !
This is the thing that stood out for me in this interview. He didn't seem to back peddle a question so he could answer the question he wanted to answer. A LOT of politicians do that which is tiresome... but this "here's my answer to your question" approach is refreshing, no matter where you come from.
Wow, Mayor Pete rocks. He’s so inspirational and makes me want to improve myself. You can feel in your soul that he’s a good man. I love how quick his brain works and it’s so nice to hear complete sentences!

Every time I hear him speak, I like him more and more. He actually answers questions, does very little spinning, and he doesn’t talk down to voters. It seems that he genuinely wants to serve his fellow Americans, it’s not all about power for Pete.
Mayor Pete’s brain is 37 years young. His nerves are communicating with each other just efficiently while the orange at the WH has not only a little boy’s brain but that of a 73 years, some of the nerves are going loose and have gaps so far that he speaks 😜!
After two and a half long years of hearing all the negativity and off the wall ignorant ranting and whining coming from Trump it's refreshing to hear someone speak with intelligence and with a positive message and who can string together sentences that make sense.
105 to 111 sounds like JFK's inaugural when JFK said, "All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days; nor in the life of this Administration; nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin"

@Daniel Brown lol why are all the bernie bros repeating the 2 wars to 7 line? How can someone think the number of theaters matter more than the number of casualties and civilian deaths (which greatly decreased under Obama, because he kept his promise and ended operation iraqi freedom). If he pulls all the troops out, they say he creates a power vacuum. If he sends some troops to try to put out fires started by previous administrations they say he's more of a war monger than bush. Ridiculous.
@Daniel Brown Did you just say you're way to the left of Bernie? Who do you even support? And as for Obama, he brought deployed troops down from 100,000 to less than 10,000. American casualties greatly decreased under him. There's plenty to criticize about his foreign policy, you don't have to lie and stretch the truth. I never said Bush started conflict in Syria and Libya, I said previous administrations. The whole area had been destabilized by the US for years, to say Obama started the conflict there is ridiculous.

I agree with the reframing of the global warming issue. We started on the wrong foot by telling people we are "killing the Earth". That's neither true nor inspiring. The Earth will outlive humanity. We are simply making Earth uninhabitable for humans. This is about saving ourselves, not saving the Earth.
