Just remember Pete was driven to the White House and at the curb, he got out and they pulled his bicycle out of the Suburban and he rode it to his office. That is all you need to know about this man.
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.

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"..
He asked questions and had no intention to receive the answer. He loved to hear his voice talking over the other.

He nailed it on the head when he said your taken taxpayers money and investing in it in things we do not want!

This Congressman is the only person I have heard other than myself who reminds people that the electric car was obsolete in 1900.
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.
Perry is a coward. He refuses to allow him to complete a sentence. He is a sad little thing….
That's not asking questions, that's grandstanding.
It is actually. Your correct.

Lol ok 🙄
Nearly 72 percent of all job gains since 2021 were simply jobs that were being recovered from the pandemic, not new job creation. In fact, when looking at today’s economy compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment is up only by 3.7 million, not 13 million.
On the other hand, in his first 2.5 years, job creation under President Trump was 5 million-1.3 million more jobs than the current President in the same time frame after factoring in the recovery from pandemic.
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.

My grandauters screamed louder than that when they were little. What a bunch of crap
Me too 😂
One hundred+ years ago people were freaking out about the automobile. It scared their horses. They got stuck in the mud. There was nowhere to buy gas. Only the rich could afford one. But Ford's idea of mass producing the automobile so the working man could afford one created jobs. Highways needed to be built....more jobs. Service stations....more jobs. Now, I'm sure many in those days refused that "new" way of life. I'm sure they fought against it. I'm sure they wanted to stay the way things were. But, it is America. A country that leads in progressing towards the future.

Gas tanks have a limited range, too.
We have an EV, and I wouldn't buy another one. Can't use it to visit family in a neighboring state, as there's nowhere to charge between here and there, and charging takes too long, anyway, which would turn a 3-hour trip into a 5-hour trip one way. My husband bought it because it was a novelty, but he complains about plugging it in and blowing circuit breakers if we try to use a vacuum cleaner that's on the same circuit when the car is plugged in. Sorry, but they're not ready for prime-time.
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.

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."
The congressman just wanted to hear himself talk. He didn't want to have a debate about the issue. This is what is wrong with politics.
Nothing but total grandstanding by Perry. He didn't want to hear what Pete had to say, or anyone for that matter. Sad.

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.
When the inquisitors are this deranged, the exchange is bound to get heated.

Not to mention the price of auto insurance almost doubles with an electric car.

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.

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.

It's show biz; these attacks by congressmen are for the soundbites on the local news back home.
They need to be able to say "cut his mic" when they don't answer the question.
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.

It's not just this administration. The rot runs deep in both parities. Unfortunately.
The auto industry has always opposed improvements in safety , fuel efficiency and emission standards on the false assumption that these would kill the auto manufacturers and consumers would opposé said improvements. It wasn’t until it was shown that consumers approved and welcomed these changes that the industry embraced them and actually used these improvements as a selling feature. The short sightedness of these idiots continues.
I have no kids. I have no elderly parents. Yet my tax dollars are used for them every single day. Even if I never drive a car or use any gas, I still have to pay tax that pays billions dollars in subsidy to oil companies and to make the lives easier for those who drive cars.
I was barely able to get a used gas car i cant afford an ev to save my life

The Republicans can't allow someone to spew facts and to make sense, because that makes them look bad by comparison.
The Chairman could have ended the hearing when he said at 2:19- "You're investing with our money things we dont want." On top of that those government "subsidies" to bribe people to purchase an EV is not government money, it is taxpayer money.
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

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.
@@jeffreyp6088 He is a DEADBEAT!!!! Get real!!!
As opposed to someone who can't articulate themselves very well and this is generally the tactic with GOP. I am going to scream louder so no one can realize how ignorant and short sited I am about the future of my country. Only in it for the power. 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. Remember he is Secretary of Transportation, that's pretty low on the totem pole in regards to white house power. Yet he is doing more than Kamala Harris, so I guess the question is, would you rather have an ignorant Republican, a Lazy VP, or a proactive cabinet member?
What's killing jobs is corporate greed driving the cost of goods and services up and riding the inflation wave. Every major economic crisis is caused by this underhanded corporate behavior to squeeze every penny out of people. Those EVs - and all vehicles for that matter - would not be a loss to the company AND wouldn't cost as much to the consumer if the executives of those companies weren't given millions of dollars in bonuses EVEN when the company loses money.
Good job, Pete.

Did he really say manufacturing deficit ? Even during Covid our manufacturing sector was still going strong , not as strong as the year before but , far stronger than the Obama years .
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.
They are already saying people are not buying cars because they are too expensive. I heard dealerships will be going under soon because they will not lower prices.
You are investing our money into things we don’t want … such a powerful line.
Um, lots of us want EVs. I get really tired of people like Perry assuming that we're all a bunch of backward bozos who don't want to move forward into a future that gives us a chance to avoid the worst effects of global warming.
And there is no reason why auto manufacturers should be fighting this transition because it absolutely is the case that either we build these cars, or we get left behind when China builds them. And then they will indeed lose all of these manufacturing jobs - to China.
@@hoosiermama8738 the only place EVs work on wide scale is fantasy land
The secretary is a disgrace 😢
They all are. Its what happens when an election is compromised and the selected are forced upon us.
Its by purpose, because they only think about there own pocket 🤬🔥🤬🔥
They want us broke and poor so they have complete control over us citizens. All for there pocket.
You mean like when the saudis are in republican pockets?
Pete was not allowed to answer or speak. THIS IS A HUGE PART OF THE PROBLEM
That was hardly a 'screaming match' @Forbes...more like a soliloquy by the Chair 🙄
In London our crook of a mayor has mandated that we need to scrap our diesel cars if they’re 2015 and older, and petrol if they’re 2006 and older
We lost our car today, and got a taxpayer grant… only £2000 which won’t buy a replacement car..
Politicians are vile … animals have more compassion and feelings
It’s so sad how their agenda is destroying the western nations and our way of life while the east continues to cause the most pollution but taking our cars is just the beginning by 2025 they have 14 US Cities cited to go meatless while the elite continue to consume more than we ever would
Where is your protest and fight, why aren’t you organize and fire your fascists, do you have conservatives at all, if not organize one and ran for gov. You guys need to change your constitution that exactly mirroring US, other wise your fascists going to end your life
I think you guys in England and Europe are screwed, I don't see you fighting back like we're doing over here. We're not going to let this corrupt government force us to do a damned thing...not after that covid debacle!
Omg...
.
Animals would be loving and kind . These people are monsters .
Yeah it’s pretty tough to pay your bills on a $50 an hour union job. I feel their frustration. 🤬
Is that true? $50/hr what company?
Auto workers. And complaining they live paycheck to paycheck 🙄
$50 an hour...you have got to be kidding me..try $13 an hour.
@@AnniePA1960 for which company…do they make $50/hr? If you don't know that's 👌 ok.
UAW jobs with the big 3 start at $17 an hour currently. They screwed up in 2007 by accepting tiered contracts that sold out new workers to preserve the wages of the people nearing retirement.
They need to reform the procedures in these hearings to give the witnesses the right to answer a question unimpeded and uninterrupted! All these hearings are is a platform for these political blowholes from both parties to make political speeches!
I live in Kentucky and I've been hearing that people don't even want to work at the new EV plant because they're afraid of cancer from the batteries.
Never was problem to dems in charge, look for the lord Jesus to end this with world War 3, then start all over without evil in the world, you have no soul for the poor or disabled, you have no right to live in Jesus's world, hell it show be 😮😢
Yet they have no issues working for foreign car manufacturers. I'm from KY, and we are a bunch of hypocrites.
They keep sending Mitch back to Congress; I wouldn't use Kentucky as any barometer for sound decision making.
the pollution from ICE cars and trucks are giving everyone cancer
Why then are you not worrying about the 110,000 people that get lung disease each year from gas powered cars?
Should have never bailed them out to begin with. It wouldn't have become a monopoly. We bailed them out and the CEOs and high execs gave themselves bonuses with taxpayers money then fired thousands of employees 😊
The auto makers saw / knew what was ahead and took no action to prevent it. Only Ford tried to prepare for it. They should have let them go under and let someone else take over. Q: did they ever pay that money back ?
At 77 y/o I believe I can say with little doubt that I’ll ever buy an EV. My 10 year old Toyota will keep rolling for another 100K miles.
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.
Vote them out get rid of the long term politicians and put common sense people in office
Scott Perry asks great questions.
If subsidies lowered costs, college tuition and healthcare would be cheaper
EXACTLEY !!!!!!! 💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
he should have cut off stupid puppet Pete at the end, can never give them the last word
He lost me when, for a photo op, he took hopped on a bike taken out of an SUV to make it look like he rode it to work.
He refuses to listen to what the American people are saying, and hence, they will all be out of office, soon, we hope.
Growing manufacturing......NOT......destroying jobs...YES
Not growing anything
Lay off the crack jobs are not growing
I remember when the US congress was civilized and the UK parliament was rude. Man, how we've changed over the last 8 years.
"I believe this regardless of what you want to say" is the argument of a child.
AS IF Republicans EVER gave 2 shits about union or middle class workers.
Never think a guy who thinks it's a good idea to take it up the tailpipe by another man is sane. He can never tell me or adviser me of a damn thing.
Here's some shit Pete knows that you apparently don't:
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.
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.
Tax credits up to $7500.
EVs have instant torque, allowing you to get onto the highway far quicker than an equivalent gas car.
EVs cost more upfront but save money in the long run. However, EVs should reach price parity with gas cars as the industry continues to scale up. In China, EVs are already cheaper than gasoline cars.
Pete taking it up the ass is completely irrelevant. The question you should be asking is, does he know his shit? The answer is, clearly, yes.

Politicians who vote on bills should have to 100% follow that bill themselves. They frequently make sure those laws do not apply to them. How the heck is that acceptable? I cannot afford an EV, nor can most people, let alone the battery for one. Never mind I don’t want one of those pieces of junk. That is the idea, though. If you cannot afford it, you must rely on public transportation, aka the crooked government, to get around. That is what they want. They want you broke, stuck, and unable to be dependent or to move freely.
Frightened and dependant on them.
People with gas guzzlers are also broke, stuck and unable to move freely. Are you high? Do you even have half of a clue?
this gov has never seen an insurrection brought by the people only the FBI
clueless@@sgtcreasegrease
And you will be happy! 🤣🤣
whomever wrote "screaming" match has NEVER seen/heard/been involved in one.
Please listen to this man!!!
Little boy rosie cheeks is blushing from his own ignorance
I don't know anyone who either has an EV or wants one. The cost and range is not feasible. Not the mention the lack of charging station availability. Oh and eventual battery replacement.
I want one. I'm voting with my $. Getting solar panels too. In three years I expect to do 45000 miles. And if I don't get a job in 3 months, I'll still be able to afford to drive my EV. How is that for feasible?
EV EV baby.
A man in Great Britain brought an EV a Porsche and he paid £120,000 for the car he owned this car for 11 months and didn't like it, he decided to sell it and his best offer was £55,000 so he lost £65,000 in just 11 months, I think EVs are a red herring we cannot afford
The man is afraid to let Pete speak. What is he afraid of?
Wow Scott Perry absolutely wrecked him.
In what way? By being rude and not letting Pete answer any questions or did you just like that Perry just answered his own questions towards Pete? There was no destroy, Perry just looked like a complete fool and didn't want to hear the truth.
@@t3chninja_official awe look, we found Mayor Pete's only fan.
@@gulfsidefishing9095 cool you should have seen Pete's campaign rallys. They were packed. Standing room only. So nice try.
@@t3chninja_official he destroyed him factually. Pete refused to address any of the concerns that Perry mentions with regard to subsidized EV. Pete refuses to acknowledge that the Auto industry is losing millions because they are forced to build vehicles no one wants. He never answers why instead he avoids. Perry did in fact destroy him.
