Slow Jam the News with Mayor Pete Buttigieg 

Token black guy, Pete actually has zero support in the black community, sad

thanks for the news flash, Debbie Downer.

@@lcvmaddox3357 Haaaah (Snap!)

@First Last he has zero support in the black community

I would live to be in South Bend bars during debate night. Pete's gonna fly high!! 😄😄😄

😍😍😍

Elaine Albaugh we love your Mayor.

I'm in Asia, and I love your mayor.

@@greatunborn I know right? (I'm in Canada, and impressed as all hell too.)

Yel Yint damn that’s some deep shit right there lol

He has my vote!! 😄

In a nutshell! You nailed it, Yel Yint. Plus his character, and his parents, and his voice. RU-vid tarot readers are nailing it too. Now we just need some Jungian perspective on Pete. The organics of the enthusiasm are not on the surface, that's why people are all "who is this guy?" You gotta go deeper to get him. We'll see if that resonates wide enough.

Couldn't agree more. He could do so much good for this country!

Amen, and fuck the haters!

thats right...I kno people like him and hes super smart and interesting, but I much appreciate your summing it up. reality chek!

Pretty much. Bernie's slow jam is much better

What a joke, he takes more billionaire money than any other candidate.

Hahaha

Jeremy Taylor this guy is a low key sociopath

God, he's sooo cute

Unfortunately, asshat will get re-elected. It's part of demonizing Christians. I will never understand why Christians can support anything that buffoon does, says, or stands for. This Christian will certainly not be voting for the malfunctioning idiot currently in the White House. I knew when Mayor Pete came on the scene he would be wildly popular and I hope he gives the orange one a run for his bankrupt backside. I may not agree with Mayor Pete's sexuality, but wouldn't it be perfect irony if he gets the nod as the Democratic nominee?

lisa koola me too girl 😩I ❤️him with all my heart , i want to marry him

emily thought you can’t use names in scrabble tho?

@@Rya_N33 you can't but the joke still stands lol. Technically in Maltese the name is a word that means "Lord/owner of chickens" so in Maltese Scrabble, who knows 😂

emily let’s play scrabble 😂

Allison G you can always do a Pete move and learn Maltese and do all Maltese words

True. Still can’t spell it

I would have never guessed he is gay..

He is a sick joke for a person as sec. of anything. Biden’s appointees are just dumb and evil. Do you not realize that they want to do away with our wonderful freedoms and destroy our country.

"I'm sure their interns can show them how to dm me" was pretty damn good too 😂😂

He said PB and May, like Mayor.

That PB&Bae had me dying Edit: i swore it was bae but still great

@@wxixl Oh, he totally did say bae. You right, you right.

And you missed 3:21!?

The gay candidate that goes both ways for America. How long until this video reaches 16M just like Obama's Slow Jam?

Anna DiMartino 😂😂😂😂 i’m in love and i’m not against gay but that’s okay

That was hilarious!

AGAIN! Got it the 1st time. Hope Bernie doesn't start touting being hetero...or asexusual, whatever.

"The Green New Deal isn't a specific policy prescription, [It's really more of a vector by which we will surrender complete control over our economy and our individual freedoms to the whimsical decision making of a bunch of radical Marxists and Alinskyists that are, at best bedfellows with, and often times openly themselves, a bunch of anti-white, America hating, thought policing tyrants.]"

@Julian I gave your comment a like. So forgive me for responding literally. The kids might come back motivated to learn 2 languages or speaking a couple of phrases in 2 languages. Pete speaks 7 languages, not all equally well, and I think he's highly qualified to be president, but he's not a miracle worker.

That is funny Julian Holland. Just two more languages!

You should watch "You" on Netflix.

Holland: And with their critical thinking skills sharply more advanced, too, lol.

I think you just gave me the best question to ask yourself if you're thinking about whether you should follow a politician. Would you trust them with your kids?

A lame cringey one sure

I was really wondering how they were going to make a joke about it and still be respectful - well done!

Lol I noticed that

No, I'm just Gay .

I was just like “true fucking that”

Same😂

Currently dying 😂😂

Megha Rethinasamy no he just can’t laugh because he’s low key a sociopath

ikr? The guy is BRILLIANT! Long ago, I dated a Rhodes Scholar who later became a Congressman. The conversations were never dull! 😄

He's brilliant whatever the context.

I was your one thousandth liker.

He would still be a shitty president.

You didn't know what to slow jam something meant? OK, now you do.

@@alwaysuseless hahaha I knew slow jamming, but Pete Buttegieg was a welcome addition! :)

Of course you needed to watch this. It's your programming. "You love Pete Buttigieg. You support Pete Buttigieg. Pete Buttigieg is your favorite. He is funny. He is handsome. He speaks with diction, and says the good things. Nevermind that you don't know a thing about his platform, you should vote for him anyways because he's funny and cool and gay."

@Phyrexian Newborn You need to work on your cynicism and denigration of people on RU-vid. It's still blatantly obvious. You presume to know who people are or what they've done. Once people see a candidate who answers questions so directly and honestly (on a plethora of other RU-vid videos), they'll go to resources like www.meetpete.org and click on Topics at the top. They'll get a list of links to hundreds of explanations of his policies, not only what they are, but also why and *_how_* he plans to achieve these goals. He's far more clear and specific on the *_how_* than any of the other candidates. Perhaps we should forgive your denigration, because "it's your programming," but the fact is you also have choices and free will and could stick to substance and real issues. But that wouldn't support your negative take on Mayor Pete, which you currently hold for whatever reason.

@Phyrexian Btw, everyone "speaks with diction." Diction is one's choice and use of words in speech or writing.

Fox?

Her name's Lis Smith and she's a boss

@@crazy360playa pete likes to go on fox news and absolutely destroy the hosts its rly great

@@lindsayl1823 Lis Smith is the GOAT

@MrBleach401 Who?

@MrBleach401 Reported for being a bot. Thank you.

No he won't.

I totally agree with you. He is like he was born to be the president. I got a text from them for their merchandise. I had NO hesitation. got it instantly.

I've watched him at the helm as our city has went from counted as dead to a thriving and Growing Place. What I am particularly most proud of is the reforms he did with our Police Department. Oversight commission with firing power, use-of-force database, body cameras, unconscious bias training. We've been talking in South Bend for years how this man's going to be president one day.

D W Make sure you watch the controversies he was involved in, dude.

@@nineteen8122 Like I said, I'll be watching him... as well as everyone else. I'm not a blind voter. Controversies... Make sure they are justified and not manufactured or over-dramatized and if they're actually relevant to the position. Cheating on your wife or paying for hookers or smoking something doesn't really mean shit. I don't know what controversies he's had yet because I'm not at the point of going hardcore into everyone's "story" yet. Once things get whittled down to the ones who'll have a chance then I give my due diligence.

@@nineteen8122 P.S. Cute doggie! :-)

Yes, forget the record breaking economy and vote for another smooth talking obama who will mess things up again. Stupid kids

A great listen.....it’s his personal story of an inspiring journey....love it!

And the Bernie bro has found the video!

I read it too... such a great man.

I'll have to pick it up.

no policies, boring, has no support from minorities, looks like the kid from Mad magazine

@@hamishthemack10 WOC here, and I support Pete! Boring? Anything but. He's arguably the most inspiring speaker I've heard in decades. So tired of the "no policies" smearing - give it a rest. Mad mag kid is pretty weak put down. Doesn't even look like him, but if that's all you got . . .

peemmza I concur,

@@hamishthemack10 www.meetpete.org for polices.

@@arnoldstrongnumerouno you're just not listening.... Go to meetpete.org and all his videos are searchable by topic😃

Did you see the video of him doing sign language? I love his compassion. I’ve never given anyone money for a presidential campaign before… He is the first🙋🏽‍♀️

@@TracyAllen He is EXACTLY what this (presently) soulless country needs. He's super educated (has a BRAIN unlike the present moron), he's sensitive, compassionate (has a HEART unlike the present, heartless monster who refers to women in terms of their body parts and orders 4 month old Mexican babies be taken from their mothers and put with strangers - not "fake news" - FACT!) His gullible, brainwashed, glazy-eyed worshippers have been duped - suckers ALL! Whereas... Pete Buttigieg actually gives a shit! Most of all, he GETS it and has both the BRAINS and INTELLECT to move this country in a healthier direction, which is the very successful DEMOCRATIC Socialism of the Scandinavian countries. The Scandinavians are the best educated, healthiest, happiest/most content people in the world! It is NOT "Venezuela" or "Communism", morons. It's DEMOCRATIC Socialism. For the love of God, EDUCATE yourselves! DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM is a government that cares about giving its citizens - ALL OF THEM - the best quality life. I've been to Denmark recently, seen it in action - it WORKS! Their people are very well educated (teenagers we met spoke beautiful English and 2-3 other languages - that's normal!). The streets are spotless, people are healthy, happy and glowing with health. I saw 80 year olds riding bikes like teenagers everywhere. The Danes are super respectful about the ecology (wind farm energy, all organic the norm, 75% ride bikes vs. cars). The Danes are polite, soft-spoken - so friggin' CHILL - because they have the security of knowing they will never go hungry, be homeless, go without healthcare, etc. Their govt. ensures this. They own their homes (this is not Communism), and live a peaceful life based on hygge. It'a all about a high quality life FOR EVERYONE, healthy living and strong family values. The quality of life under DEMOCRATIC Socialism is incredible. They "work to live, not live to work." They work 7 hr. workdays, out by 4 PM (this is ENCOURAGED by the govt. as family togetherness is prized), and they enjoy 6-8 weeks paid vacation annually, plus very generous maternity and paternity leave. Education is paid for through graduate level (the average American has a 12 yr. old's education, which is why we're in the mess we're in!). Childcare is very high quality with lots of emphasis on fresh air, sunshine, outdoor play, healthy organic meals and is 75% subsidized - paid for by the govt. Everyone is treated EQUALLY, which levels the playing field and contributes to an extremely low crime rate. My daughter and I walked everywhere as late as 2 AM. We never once felt unsafe. An 83 year old woman was punched repeatedly, her face was black and blue, in my suburban town while walking to her car from her neighborhood supermarket by a teenage thug. America is a MESS right now. VOTE THE ASSHOLE OUT!

Good God you are sick. I hope there are not many out there like you.

mrcobbjr ok but did you see Bernie’s

Mayor Pete seems very comfortable with himself, very calm, rational and a "smooooooth talker" that's for sure...love his voice..he is the total opposite of trump isn't he?

@@Rhiannon011 He's the perfect antidote to 45.

Right? Dude's got comedic timing on top of everything else.

@Luke Robinett JFK is a little before my time, but I hear ya. I don't think I've ever seen a better candidate in my lifetime. (Obama ranks of course)

I think he's a deeper thinker than Obama and/or better communicator. And he doesn't trade on charisma! What can I say - nothing makes my knees go weak like a guy who oozes intelligence. I feel like I learn something EVERY time I listen to him! Now I just have to figure out how to get his audiobook (he narrates it himself!!!) here in Canada. #BeLikePete

GoogleKnowsUs Pete raises one eyebrow at that; it’s so funny!

You are crazy

Mariana me too.. he’s everything that Trump not.

@@waynelatiff5000 he has a good personality but when the black people in his community tell us not to vote for him I start having reservations

#BlueButtigiegWave

@Thrustin Von Helmut You just say that because it's the hip thing for detractors to say. He's stated many of his policies. Pay attention.

@Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor This is the attention you wanted. Congratulations 👏👏👏

David Moore ... USA debt is now 23 trillion.

@D. Moore both strange with the change.Kneepads included.

Mark Shealy is’nt he just sooo cuuute..!!!!!!

In this slow jam Pete comes across as warm, amused, and into it. Part of the joke is his clean-cut, straight-arrow look and attire. He's a presidential candidate, after all, with serious cred.

@@alwaysuseless There is also the subtext of Pete as a gay man being very hyper-sexualized by the two men visually framing (sandwiching?) him...while simultaneously de-sexualizing himself with bland, "souless" responses. The background irony at play here is that a "soulful" media [Fallon] humorously attempts to create a gay candidate whose identity centers around sexuality, but the candidate is always participating in this "theater" in a non-sexual manner, thereby undercutting the media's attempts. Simple deconstruction: Pointing out that the apparent message of the skit (Pete is likeable and "cool" in his detachment from a soul-full framing) is not what we are seeing/reading in regard to the portrayal of gay men in the media (gay men being made into sexual "predators" through a media narrative). I'm just saying that a deeper reading of the skit tells us more than taking it at a funny face value.

@Mark Shealy I think I agree with what you're saying, but am actually distracted by the unmatched quotation mark and the unfinished(?) sentence at the end.

@@alwaysuseless OK, I fixed it.

Right below 1.) Being gay and 2.) Not having a spine

@@privateuser7 A Veteran who put his life in danger to keep brainless idiot like you safe, how abt that! 😉

also "can keep straight face through butt jokes about his name"

@NRO I agree. It's entertaining.

T J That’s a scary thought but it is true to some extent. Hopefully we will be waking up and be worthy of him.

We need someone like him. Don't disrespect towards Sanders and Biden, we need a young person to challenge Trump.

You're right. America is too stupid to elect him as president. They will get Trump the imbecile because he is all america is worth.

T J - We've been abused citizens for a few years now and our confidence is low, never thinking we can get what we deserve. Pete is the therapy that will save us all. lol seriously, we need this therapy.

@@asdabir Keep reading, and you might actually learn it one day.

True.

he wants to be the president. He is not looking to solve any problem. If u listen him talking, you forget what the question was

@@tusarkoirala5955 I really don't get that impression from him... I feel like he gives really thoughtful responses that look at issues really holistically. Maybe to some people that seems dodgy or something but I think that's the best way to solve problems while things are as polarized as they are

@Sophia Taylor I don't blame you for your view but what policy is Pete actually arguing for except himself being President? When you look at Bernie, you know he's running for free college, Medicare for all, a green new deal, , a living wage, stop the corruption. Yang runs for UBI, the legalization and decriminalization of all drugs, and democracy dollars. Tulsi runs to end the regime change wars. What does Pete run for? I've never seen him argue for a policy looking to actually help people with their problems.

​@@mugwort6248 i mean he's got plans for medicare for all who want it, to transition our country to clean energy, he's set forward plans for latinos and black americans, etc. Like you mentioned Yang, who a lot of people would say is a single issue candidate with UBI. And Bernie, who is maybe not a single issue candidate but when you hear his name you think "medicare for all" for sure. Just because Pete isn't running on a single main policy that he weaves into every answer doesn't mean he's running on no policies at all. No shade, honestly I like Yang and Bernie, just my thoughts!

Na it might flare up his bone spurts

Legend: Yeah, donnie boy thinks he's above going on any program where everybody dosen't bow down to him and kiss his ass every minute he's there. In fact, he thinks he's so above everybody, and everything, with his narcissistic arrogant ass, so he wouldn't even deign to step off his pedestal to even try to do that. Which is funny, now that it's been shown that his claims of being a billionaire were a bunch of bullshit,and that he's a complete fraud businesswise. Ha ha ha ha ha! Apparently his hair isn't the only fake-ass thing about him.

@Dylan 604 ..oh c'mon now.. you are just saying that because it is statistically accurate.

Mayor

He's my mayor, and he's outstanding. Thanks for the love!

That's my dream Ticket ... Buttigeig/Harris

I couldn't agree more. That would definitely be a formidable ticket. But everyone else is too good to just throw back. Get whoever doesn't get to the convention into the senate and get those worthless and less than useless republicans out of there. Start with Cocaine Mitch and work your way across the senate.

Inagine if they ran on one ticket . They might be unbeatable!

Richard Gibson it’s my favorite ticket and it would say tremendously positive things about who and what America is.

Oh, I'm jealous.. you get to learn about him from scratch! He's like the president we never dreamed we'd have again.
