Pete Buttigieg: Attorney Gen. William Barr Handling Of Release Is 'Disturbing' | Morning Joe | MSNBC
If he won, I'd continue paying close attention to the presidency but for a much happier reason.
Oh Yes, could you imagine this really being a great experience?
You notice how they grill this guy and he answers every question directly without a fumble. Even if you don't like his answer, you have to appreciate his transparency
It is definitely refreshing after the last candidate the Democrats ran.
Exactly! He's given a couple of answers that I haven't agreed with, but I really respected the way he committed to a position and didn't try to have it both ways.
Sam Ashkenazy
I agree. He is definitely sure of his opinions on issues and does not flinch. Bernie Sanders is the same. Politicians who are assured of their beliefs on issues
don't stutter. That does not make them right. It just assures their supporters they will hear what they want to hear.
Knowing the questions the day before you go on the show sure helps!
Skilled evasion isn't transparency. It certainly isn't honesty. And I'm a Democrat saying that. Pete just couldn't come out and say "look, I support women's right to choose to have an abortion, even in the third trimester". That would be honest and transparent.
Wish they would stop talking about his sexuality. It’s completely irrelevant.
Leviticus 18 22
Bob Johnston do you?
John 8:7 - Larry
Thank you...seriously...the experiences we see Mayor Pete go through publicly will be grueling if every single interview starts by questioning his coming out. That's why I wish Joe would have been etched out of the opening questions. So typical of Joe.
And no ones business but HIS and his companion!
I can never get sick of seeing Mayor Pete! Have him on more often! #Buttigang
Kwon Cherry
I get so excited for a Pete segment. I would love to see him every week for the next year.
I, on the other hand, am already tired of hearing and seeing him. Perhaps if and when he can reveal his thoughts on issues like climate change, nuclear escalation, the threat of oligarchy to our democratic institutions, I might tune in.
I am not enthralled just because he is well spoken, if not glib; that is setting the bar too low.
@@celesteconnor5677 he has spoken on all of thes issues especially climate change in great detail including what he endorses in the green deal and changes that should be made.
Mayor Pete is brilliant! His intellect is amazing! He is the real deal. He has my vote!
Pari Wescott last month everyone loved Beto. Watch them all over time!
@Grim Reefer Pete the aids president.
Grim, a virus was responsible for Aids. Husbands transferred it to wives. Thank goodness grownups understand this difference.
Stop saying he’s ‘young’ - he’s younger than the other candidates but he’s 37. He’s seen the world. He’s running a city. He’s educated, intelligent, articulate & savvy. There are doctors younger than him saving lives every day. Age doesn’t equal maturity as is abundantly clear from 45’s behaviour.
Facts !!!
It’s the old people we must take them out
When I was young, the rallying cry was never trust anyone over 30!!! My how times have changed.
RaymondKym Suttle Just an excellent, accurate response. GO PETE. 2020. 🇺🇸
well said
His explanation of his stance on late term abortion floored me.
Whether you agree with him or not, you have to admit that he's very good at cutting straight to the core of an issue without belittling those who don't share the same opinion.
Compared to the current sitting president, this guy seems capable of unifying us in a way that's very much needed right now.
He has my vote.
That was the most articulate, rational, and moving response to the late term abortion question I've ever heard from a candidate.
I've been binging mayor Pete for two hours straight. He never gets old or repetitive, and that's why I love him. Pete, please come to grand rapids Michigan!
Isabelle Fleszar Isabelle, great. Organize a Welcome Party for Pete when he does come. I would gladly assist but I am too far away. Good luck! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
3 hours straight.
Isabelle Fleszar I did the same. I watch the political stuff and I have people I prefer and dislike... but when I heard him I was impressed in a way I haven’t been before. The more I watched the more i believed. This dude needs to be president. A country of 350+ million does not produce leaders like this out of a spigot, it’s a unique chance to show what kind of leadership our country is capable of.
i am not US citizen , but i believe he would be great for the whole world as well. please americans, pick him this time, not another joke like what you are having atm.
I agree!
no thank you Bernie 2020!!!!
your account is fake nice try
Bernie 2020.
He's blowing Bernie awau!
Mayor Pete is like a breath of fresh air after you have been buried alive in a swamp!
I thought Trump drained it
You accidentally put a "D" in there. The correct sentence is: I thought Trump rained it.
His talent for recognizing a loaded, disingenuous question and then answering the question that should have been asked, speaks to his deep understanding of the issue.
Excellent point! Thank you!
irrefudiate
all politicians have to know how to respond the loaded questions. He answered them like a Democrat would. It has nothing to do with understanding the issue. If you listen to the other Democrat candidates they will pretty much answer questions on issues the same.
@@alexhamilton4985 - Democrats are probably more nuanced than what you are accustomed to. Even given that fact, some are more astute than others, especially in recognizing even subtle spins. Of course, no-one is perfect.
@@irrefudiate When you are a Democrat Candidate on Morning Joke, the odds of you being challenged is slim to none. It is when you are face to face with an opponent with opposite views that test your metal. Unless he wins the nomination we will never see that.
Alex Hamilton funny enough, Mayor Pete has done an excellent interview on Fox. Definitely worth a watch ;)
He obviously is a good-natured, decent, kind and intelligent human being. Those qualities cannot be forced. Young yet mature. A real deal. He already looks presidential than our Sociopath in WH and is thousands times better and much more qualified than Sociopath.
Fan Mac Fan, totally agree with your assessment. Americans are tired of the drama, the lies, the threats to our National Security, the tax cuts for the rich ... on and on! I'm with you, VOTING BLUE 2020. 🇺🇸🇺🇸. Cheers, Fan Mac!
There are so many adjectives used to describe Trump-turd, first time I come across Sociopath... 🤗👍
Btw, I agree Mr. Buttigieg is the opposite of said Sociopath.
Here is a black woman from Brooklyn who loves Mayor Pete! I'm also a member of the Yang Gang 😁
Please spread the word!
I've been reading that Pete is lagging in support from the minority communities.

I’d love to see them team up! Both are really brilliant and could seriously change things for the better...but together they would be nothing less than amazing
@boobalobop. You betta go then sista girl, cause he's the ONE!
Mayor Pete is wickedly intelligent and surprisingly a normal person....LOVE him!!! ..thanks Joe and Mika for having him.....
downing kris and he played a bit of Hendrix on guitar in the TMZ interview!
Pete 2020. Go Pete!!!
Government on abortion: An extra "layer" of conscience and "morality" adding unnecessary stress and strain to what is already a difficult decision. Well put. Man, I love this guy more and more!
Smart intelligent "Old Soul" in a young man! Go Pete! Very good interview
Finally, a presidential candidate who knows how to respond to questions before they become subject to investigations.
Support Pete. End this current madness before we all go insane.
tallandhandsome29 I support Pete. He is amazing. Just what we need to deal with this zoo Dump created. 🤡🤡. 🇺🇸✌🏽

This is the “Mika love Pete Buttigieg” show and I’m here for it!
Tony Sansalone
Me too! :)
Everyone loves Pete Buttigieg. Everyone that counts, that is.
Same! It’s delightful to watch.
He’s brilliant! Love his eloquent answers. He has my vote!
I love his answers.
He is correct about how most people in the past thought about running for the presidency..def not how our current president thought or thinks about it. We spend more money for healthcare because the insurance companies, the drug companies, the hospitals, etc. are the ones that have made the rules. Over charging patients for huge profits, while giving substandard care.
Mika can’t stop smiling... neither can I!! 🤗🤗
PETE 2020!
I like this man, I will send him a contribution.
Send more
I made a contribution to Pete’s campaign; I am 60 years old and it is the first contribution I have made in my lifetime. I have waited a lifetime to be in support of a political candidate instead of just being against the “worst alternative”. To be for something is so much more joyful and exhilarating than to be merely less disappointed or disgusted with something else!
That was an awesome answer Mayor Pete. From someone who experienced this exact situation. Thanks for explaining that prospective.
Nailed another one..Good job Pete. I'd be proud to have you represent the U.S.
That was one of the best and most thorough responses regarding late term abortion I’ve heard.
Wendy Pastore so the best answer your heard is a non-answer that, albeit eloquently, sides steps the either qn?
@@shaunlee8425 so you must've completely missed the overall premise that yes, he is pro-late term abortion BUT it's not as simple as "oh, I've changed my mind I don't want this baby anymore so I'm going to get an abortion in the third trimester."
I'm VEHEMENTLY against unnecessary abortions. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I agree with Buttigieg, in the cases where denying an abortion would lead to both the baby and mother dying, it should be legal to have an abortion. Anything excluding the guaranteed death of the baby or the baby and the mother should NOT be a valid and legal reason for getting an abortion PERIOD.
Abortions should ONLY be considered in cases where it would save the baby from the suffering of a deadly disease or birth defect, or would prevent the death of both mother and baby and that's pretty much what Buttigieg said.
@Frank Migliozzi you're right, in cases where the baby and mother would not die if she doesn't get an abortion, it IS murder to abort a pregnancy. What I and Buttigieg said should be allowed literally would only keep the number of deaths the same or lower the number of deaths due to pregnancy and childbirth NEVER increase the death rate.
Abortions would only be used as a means to prevent the loss of both mother and child or reduce the child's suffering by not postponing their guaranteed death due to some life threatening complication.
If you see an animal that got hit by a car and is going to die, are you going to just stand there and watch it die or are you going to either put it out of it's misery yourself or call animal control who will do it for you? You're going to do one of the latter two options unless you're a psychopath. Same concept are you going to stand by and watch your baby slowly die in excruciating pain every single day of their short lives or are you going to prevent your child from ever having to suffer from their life threatening complication in the first place? It's called mercy. But if the baby and mother are guaranteed to live through labor and not suffer some life threatening complication then the mother shouldn't be allowed to have an abortion PERIOD. It should be done to preserve life and not because "I don't want it".
your account is fake nice try
He's sucking people in..
He's very tolerant of the repeated questions about his sexual orientation and history. Can we ever reach the point where it "really doesn't much matter"? Mayor Pete looks presidential to me. Go sir!
Patchwork Girl I couldn’t agree more. Here’s hoping.
And MUCH more presidential than our current 'leader'.
Patchwork Girl Agree totally! 👍👍👍🇺🇸
Yeah, sure we can, when we accept the fact that it's NO ONES business accept his and his companion's!
Well said.
Darn! His answer on late term abortion is on point. I love this guy!
Flor Ferrer
it is on point to those who agree. On the flip side though their is another side of the issue he ignores.
@ASSANGE AND TRUMP WIN FATALITY take that american flag off your profile picture please. You are not a real amercian. Go back to russia
@ASSANGE AND TRUMP WIN FATALITY Продолжай в том же темпе
He never got to the point. He deflected and evaded it skillfully.
Here's how getting to the point would sound: "I believe that women have the right to have a late term abortion for any reason, without explanation to anyone. Period."
That's getting to the point. But he doesn't want to lose support by doing that.
@@maskedmarvyl4774 agreed
Really, our government is in crisis and your asking questions about his sexuality? Can we move past that already?
Yes,, not much more to say about that.
Even Trump’s administration started putting pressure on countries that criminalize homosexuality. It was a fair question the first five times but after 500 it is getting ridiculous.
Omg his response to late term abortion.
👏👏👏
Truthus Maximus Neither is kidnapping at the border! Hypocrite! 🐷
Mayor Pete is EVERYWHERE. I saw a segment on the news yesterday that he was campaigning in Iowa all day, now he’s at Morning Joe? Does he get rest? 😂
M Mlasovic Youthful vigor.
He understands the media game. Proving trump is not the only one who can play that game. Only he does it better , because he tells the truth.
About the health care question: In Germany, health insurance is provided by private companies, heavily regulated by the State. Patients can choose which health insurance company is more suitable for their needs. They HAVE to pay for health care if they have a job and make money. But they can choose the doctor, hospital, treatment and so on, they want. The doctors know which treatments are covered, so patients never get charged. If they want a non-covered extra treatment, they can ask for it , knowing in advance,always, how much they will pay for it. Anyway. in the States it is always a nightmare, never knowing whether I am going to get a huge bill in the mail after a given treatment. Why cannot we have something like that?
Oh...I remember when my aunt tried to OUT me at a family dinner......worst feeling in the world....I just ignored her. Nobody but Pete and those like him can imagine the profound anxiety a person feels when they are forced OUT or do so voluntarily. It's due to the negative stigma that still exists.
And now he's "outing" himself and his husband to the nation and the world. How noble is that? To me (a boomer, minority, straight woman) he's the most brave and courageous political servant I've seen in my life time. When he wins he will be able to help everyone. A balm to the political agony we are all going through.
Watching this guy from Down Under. Boy, is he impressive!
John Kenneally: Same here and so impressed with Mayor Pete. WOW to be able to listen to an articulate educated calm man compared to what they have now.
Thank you!
He's up and down on the poles.
What impresses me Larry is how deeply he's thought through his positions on things. And his intelligence, of course. He's super smart.
Are you in Oz Fay?
The way they all just listen to him says a lot about what he is saying. He speaks truth.awesome job!
Aagya Shrestha they said the same thing about Beto though and then threw him out like trash. Pete won’t last long unless he lays out policies.
Beto is a good candidate too but he is just surrounded with too much controversies.. as long as Pete stays away from controversies ..and has good policies..he should be good I assume.
He engages his audience, not lecturing. He brings his audience into a dialog.
just like your Fallen Messiah Obuma? This guy is noting more then a VanillaBoma

Funny comment..I agree. I truly hope he goes on to win.
Hey everybody, don't complain. Relax. The ENTIRE Muller report can be taken to court and un-redacted. If only Maxine Waters would make this FACT clear to you. Why would William Barr break the law and go to jail because there are so many angry people after him to do so? It just doesn't make sense. William Barr's not stupid! Would YOU break the law and go to jail for just because upset, impatient people wanted you to? I wouldn't

ASSANGE AND TRUMP WIN FATALITY UNLIKE TRUMP RIGHT!?!? BWAHAHAHA SPARE ME!
The happy camper. Your kind is Fikel What happened to the precious Michael Avenatti ????
@ASSANGE AND TRUMP WIN FATALITY Such great insight . You may want to flip back to the three stooges on fox news. You actually have to understand more than a three word sentence on this show. I have a five word recommendation . Go back to your trailer .
I see an excellent opportunity for Mayor Pete. Anchor for MSNBC. He is articulate, gets to the point, relaxed, not hyper. A great example of "solid thinking" for the new and upcoming millennials. Very "Progressive" attitude. His ambitions for engaging in new methods are promising. Definitely can hold the attention of all. He already has the full attention of the media giants. To boot a Lieutenant in the Naval Reserve with a tour in Afganistan. An American prodigy.
His executive skills are more rare. He should always serve in some hands-on executive position.
He’s needed in government where ethical behaviour is in short supply and common sense in the Republican Party completely gone.
He is clever smart and ambitious. He's just the kind of change that we need now
Pete 2020!
Breath of fresh air. Love Mayor Pete!
i love this guy! my president!
Seriously, this dude uses terms like muscle memory, slide path for health care, deployment of political capital, running out on a rail.....he crafts and paints these sensible, logical articulate pictures of life and reality that make sense and gives the listener something to actually work with. Instead of the dumbarse Trump who only seems able to chant two word slogans Lock her up, and Build that wall. Good god!
Mayor Pete makes too much sense. Am I dreaming?? He's got my vote 2020!!
That response to abortion was just magnificent. So thorough, well reasoned and articulately explained. Say what you want about this guy but you just can't doubt his supreme intelligence.
I am proud of our Party has such an outstanding candidate (of course others also good but Pete is exceptional).
Ok Vlad
Quite honestly, I personally compare him favorably with JFK. Besides his sexual preference, the fact that he is of devout faith, quite young and certainly not unattractive, had been in the military AND seen action and seemingly quite approachable all make him an interesting and viable candidate. The fact that he hasn’t spent time in DC is much less of a negative than it is a positive; it certainly limits the questions about campaign donations from industry lobbyists at the very least. I really hope he gets a fair shot at candidacy.
Mayor Pete makes me smile and is a refreshing breath of fresh air.😊 I wish him the very best 👍🏼
Mayor Pete is the frontrunner among the actual Democrats already in the race.
Go Mayor Pete !
A politician who talks in complete sentences and doesn't tell us, you wait, it will be tremendous regarding healthcare and winning.
No spin. Just highly intelligent and articulate and genuine.
Welp, Pete certainly has the vote of this Black woman, in Florida.
What weird discussion is this in the USA that seems to suppose that having a universal health care system would mean you cannot choose your doctor? I live in a country with universal health care, and choosing doctors is the most normal thing here.
44 million Americans have Medicare, by 2030 it will be 70 million. If Medicare is expanded to us all then every provider will accept it... if they want to get paid.
I look forward to the day we have universal health care in states. I haven't been to the doctor in over ten years and only go to the dentist if something hurts. Luckily,I feel extremely healthy but who knows what's brewing that could be asymptomatic. A MRI or basic checkup can be nearly a thousand dollars where I live.
This is the candidate we've been waiting for.
Wow his abortion answer was so clear and concise.
Uh................ no.
Complete thoughts and sentences.....mind blowing
Pete ButtBlockage
This is the guy🏆 I am a black woman, over the age of 50, navy veteran, Born in Pittsburgh PA, now a San Diego resident, and I just love everything about this guy. He comes across very knowledgeable, caring... he truly is a breath of fresh air. People keep saying that he’s young and I think that’s a great thing! He’s not a teenager! He’s a man that’s about to turn 40 in a couple of years and will have to live for many years with the policies that he will put in place as president. I have nothing against people that are older who want to leave something good in this world before they head out but, I am more excited about mayor Pete knowing that he could possibly have another 50 years to live with the decisions that he makes now as president. So I feel like he’s going to want the best for all of us. His transparency is just amazing. Yet I believe that he has the intelligence to know when to keep sensitive information where it belongs. This man has served our country and can speak several languages… How many presidents can say they’ve done all the things that this young man has done? He’s the right age and he’s the right guy💥🇺🇸🙏🏾
Each time I see and hear Mayor Pete the more I'm impressed. This guy is the real deal. He appears to have the intellect and inter personal skills to make a great leader, a truly great President. He could become one of THE greatest Presidents in history. He just has "it". Listen to his articulate thoughtful responses to each question- he has an analytical mind- a creative problem solver. For godsake America don't screw it up again.

LATINOS POR PETE! El va poder hablar con nuestras abuelas.
Patos de pete..
Why would you say you can't have "Medicare for all that want it" PLUS the existing systems? I'm Australian & that's EXACTLY what we have! We have Medicare for all & it handles almost all life threatening cases & then people choose Medicare waiting lists, or paying for private health insurance to bi-pass the queues if they want to.
Seems logical that's the path the US should go down. Cover everyone for life threatening & insurance companies can no longer engage in hostage negotiations with people's lives & as such must appeal to people with value for money. That's exactly what happened here when Medicare was introduced, insurance prises dropped year after year & we now have a situation where costs are SO competitive that only not for profits are even left in the health insurance market!
We choose our own doctor (& hospital if needed) & Medicare pays a set fee & the doctor decides if they will accept that fee or add a surcharge to our appointment/operation/procedure etc. If they want to charge super high, then they better be super good, or they will have no patients willing to pay their fees.
Private insurance picks up the gaps, but also sets limits as to how much they will pay, so again we will be out of pocket if we choose a doctor/hospital who's decided they're good enough to charge beyond those fees. Insurance companies will compete with each other in various ways, some offering to go higher on gap payments, some offering lower monthly costs & lower gap payments.
Same applies to our medicines, the government negotiates on prices & then subsidies so we pay a set price, or we can choose more expensive brand names or less proven remedies if we want to & pay the gap/have the insurance company pay the gap.
Sick people have waiting times for their pre-existing conditions of up to 12 months paying premiums before being covered & everyone has to pay a surcharge if they wait until after 30 years old before taking out private insurance (that increases per year delayed), to penalise those that only sign up when they get old & constantly sick but Medicare also has built in incentives to pay doctors treating chronic conditions higher to keep those people mostly within Medicare, so as to not over-burden health insurance companies.
All in all, we have one of the world's best health systems & one of it's cheapest! We have a life expectancy rating 4th highest in the world, so clearly we're doing something right (the US is rated 31st in the world for life expectancy).
Just do the "Medicare for all who want it" & the system will work itself out America. What have you got to lose?
God he’s so right about everything. I love him
Im stunned I feel like our next president just unveiled himself from nowhere, I think we need to try a more young approach to the WH rather than these multiple decades in politicians. Its refreshing on top of how intelligent he is don't you guys agree?
logan jones I’m not sure if age has anything to do with it. I just think Pete is the real deal.
I never said I love Wikileaks. I have the greatest memory in the universe.
I think Mayor Pete is beginning to separate himself from the rest of the second tier of candidates. He is so authentic and wise beyond his years. What surprised me is his support among the elderly. He does need to reach more of the base. I wish him luck.
We have a 72 year-old infant in the White House now, and people keep asking Mayor Pete how he thinks he could handle the office being “so young.” He’s an old soul, extremely intelligent and articulate and empathetic. Age is just a number.
The old traditional healthcare system doesn't guarantee a person being able to go to that same doctor for the rest of their lives! For crying out loud doctors actually retire, once in a while they move from the area or die and employer based health care plans always switching yhongs around so all of a sudden your doctor is out of network. I don't know why there is all this nostalgia for the old system. it's like the nostalgia for making America great again, you know back when rivers were polluted and dead of life and caught on fire. Yeah let's make America just like that again. Why do people wanna be lied to?

I think Stacy Abrams would make a good running mate. For many reasons .
Such good and well thought out questions. I admire that about Morning Joe. As for Mayor Pete, he's answers to the questions show a real mature and well though through response that I have not heard from other candidates. I have been watching every interview and been impressed with the level of maturity not usually excepted in young men. I want to see and hear more about his policies. Honestly I am rooting for him.
Mayor Pete is great. But why isn't the frontunner, Bernie, on this show? Didn't invite him? And Joe, give Mika equal time, ok?
@Kevin Lopez They *should* book Bernie by himself. Fox News did...and Joe won't? Wow-eee...
Every dem candidate has an open invitation. Mike and Joe repeat that every day almost. Ask your candidate why they are not on Morning Joe or any other show as often as Pete.
Pete doesnt' say no to any invitation - he's freakin' everywhere. I bet Bernie has been invited but just doesn't make time.
I wish he would quit interrupting Mayor Pete on some or the questions. Mayor Pete has great things for us to hear!!!
When Mayor Pete speaks - everyone listens. even Joe (!) doesn't cut him in😅 Look at all 4 - waching him so closely. Pete always looks for eye contact and talk to you. btw, Mika is deeply in love with Pete😂 well, so am l😂😂
Just wow! this guy is great. Latino here and so far from what I'm hearing him say here and around other stations. He very logical and thinker. The United States need someone like him.
When Pete talks, people listen!
Even Joe wasn't interrupting as much as he normally does.
It's only a matter of time before he is President.
If there is true democracy, whereby the people are given the choice to elect for the Best candidate, Mayor Pete is the only logical choice.
We have a healthcare combo in Finland... there is a public option and there are private clinics you can go to if you want to pay a bit more (government then subsidizes part of the cost) or if you have a private health insurance. I have the extra insurances for myself and my children, that's about 300-400€/year/person but most times we end up using the public health care because it is as good as the private one and easier if it's stuff that's going to be referred on to a hospital anyways. Insurance still pays us back for everything (bigger private bills or smaller public ones plus all prescribed medication) on the kids' insurances, I've racked up some preexisting conditions (which is fine for the companies to decide since in our system that doesn't deny me affordable care on the public side anyways). It's very much not an impossible system. You have to WANT to solve it though and that will just isn't there in the US government yet.
If this guy was president, I could go to sleep at night without wondering what terrifying turn of events has occurred.
