I will happen, it will take time. America voted for the first Black president a few years ago. Now hopefully they will vote for a first female Black president. Americans' mindset has to change gradually and it will change. So there is a chance that we will see Pete B in the WH eventually.
It's so nice having competent, qualified people in positions of power who not only want to govern, but care about getting things done to better the lives of all Americans, regardless of party affiliation. We CANNOT go back to the dark days of Trump, where he'd sling an ambassadorship or advisory role to people like his son's wedding planner because he thought that person was attractive, or because that person once complimented him. Sidenote: I'm from South Bend and I'm still SO PROUD that Pete is from here and was our mayor. I've met him and chatted with him several times, and he is every bit as lovely as he seems.
Pete "the love of God is in our house" almost made me cry! We are all feeling that way..we CANNOT let Johnson's beliefs make us feel that we don't know ourselves and what WE NEED in our individual lives.
Every family can relate to the chaos of coming home with toddlers. How he wove that story and touched on the chaos but not the darkness is the art of good communication and story telling. Pete is the master.
I have untold admiration for Pete Buttigieg and deeply respect his devotion to this country, to sanity, to intelligence, and to getting an impossible job done so well... all in the face of such constant vile judgment of his genuinely healthy, loving home-life. He is courageous, heartfelt, and we will be so fortunate for him to have a long and thriving future in the leadership of this country. Thanks for binging him on, Stephen!
Let's get Biden reelected, then let's look at Secretary for president. I would feel so safe if he were in the White House. (I said "Secretary" because I didn't know how to spell his name. Mea culpa. If he runs for sure I'll learn how to spell his name
Resoect for Pete. Intelligent. Articulate. Caring. Honest. And, dare i say straight forward?! 😊 The world needs more good men like him. Bless you, Pete.
Pete was the Mayor of my town, South Bend. He made great improvements to our downtown infrastructure changing all the stupid one-way streets to two-way streets. Go Pete!
One has to admit that Buttigieg taking this position in the Biden Whitehouse was a VERY smart decision. It's on the job training vital for a future presidential run. The knowledge he is accumulating will serve him well. The fact he holds his temper so well while others try to elicit an emotional outbursts says a lot about the man. Now he needs experience in military management matters (other then the soldier experience he has now). God bless him!
I agree - though I can see him as Sec. of State before he makes a presidential run. He's still so young - he has plenty of time to hone his leadership skills.
I am liberal politically, but conservative in my life. I want to get each of the 2 political parties to split into at least 2 more (total of at least 6 different parties) because as only 2 parties, neither of them seem to be interested in REAL governing (although the Democrats are better then the Republicans). That way without a clear majority party, they will be forced to work together. You do know we have had a gay president already? Do a Google search of James Buchanan. @@lesap8889
He was in intelligence in a war zone think about that this Oxford / Harvard educated Rhode Scholar who speaks 8 languages 6 comfortably imagine the money he could be making in the private sector & he chooses public service where he is maligned daily
So much more decent, moral, sane, intelligent, kind, warm, sincere than all those MAGA people who lie, cheat, bully, are violent, support hypocrisy, are narrow minded, are fake Christians...
Exactly!! The total opposite of any GOP politician in office at the present time. Buttigieg is a real breath of fresh air who restores faith in humanity.
I enjoy listening to a highly intelligent man speak in clear sentences, with a depth of understanding of the issues and ideas of how to get the people's work done. Pete seems to me to be a true leader.
I like how instead of defending himself or attacking Johnson, he said he would invite him to his house. I guess that's the definition of fighting hate with love.
He is incredibly dedicated to his work, seizing upon every opportunity to promote Biden's administration in a humble and precise way to the public, without ever trying to boast about himself. This level of human decency especially among politicians is practically astonishing to witness these days.
I'm sorry he didn't say anything about politicians who voted against the infrastructure bill, then take credit for it when something is done in their district / state.
"humble and precise way to the public" and Trump's 2016 win and continuing popularity is a clear proof that being humble is the way to go in US politics.
I'm sending a huge high five to Pete after returning the US after living abroad for 6 years. I bought a RT ticket because it was half the price of a one way. I always cancel my return flight after arriving and getting settled. In the past, I was not refunded for that unflown portion. THIS time, I got the full cost of my return ticket refunded. It was about $400. So THANK YOU, Sec. Pete, and cheers to the Biden admin for tackling junk fees.
You must not fly very often. One way for the flight I purchased was $1200 but the airline only charged $850 for a round trip. Are you saying you would pay $1200 if you could only pay $850? How lovely for you if you have that money to spend. There's no scam because cancelations are accepted. That's part of the contract. They provide you with a link and instructions on how and when to cancel. You seemed really upset by this so I felt I should explain it better and I hope I did. To recap, airlines charge double or triple the cost for a one way ticket than what they charge on a RT. Hope your day goes better! @@Greengoblin420-69

But you keep thinking you even have a grasp on who gets into that warped “Heaven” you speak of. No one here would want that type of wack job religiousness of yours😂
Good man, Pete Buttigieg! It's crucial that the American people not only have an eye on the President, but also on his Cabinet and staff! How competent are they in the roles they play to keep American informed truthfully about the national and world affairs, but also how safe they keep the American people and all who travel and live here who are not Americans. We all want safety, basic needs met and more, peace and order, equality, and prosperity. There is enough for everyone!
The way he describes parenting just like it is for every parent when asked about same sex marriage and raising kids to answer to Mike Johnson... breaks my heart, but won't reach those who are against it.
@@Flor-mq7pk The main difference between the Buttigieg family and the Johnson family is that the Buttigieg family actually loves each other. Johnson’s kids probably don’t actually like him. His wife probably only tolerates him. Meanwhile Pete and Chasten are still obviously very much in love with each other and their kids adore their dads. The way Pete talks about a basic night of toddler chaos and mac & cheese is with love - you can see it in his eyes.
If it happens before the first female president, that means America is more ok with a first gentleman than a madam president... Just a thought Disclaimer: I'm gay myself and 100% support Pete for president.
Former Alaska resident here, and that ice bar is in Chena Hot Springs. They built an entire castle inside a building with a fully functional ice bar. Even the glass your drink comes in is actually made of ice!
I love how much Pete loves his family! His face lights up when he speaks of them. This is the kind of people we need in our government. Would love to see Pete in the White house. Chasten would make a great first husband!
Former Kotzebue, Alaska, resident here. So glad Secretary Pete got to experience Arctic Alaska. Besides air freight, some Kotzebue residents can plan ahead enough for an annual “barge order”. But all freight that comes by water has to be lightered in 11 miles since Kotzebue Sound is so shallow, making it a very expensive port. And, once something arrives in Kotzebue, that may not be its final destination. Kotzebue is the hub that serves all the smaller villages in that region. Goods may end up being transferred to a small plane, a boat, or hauled to their final destination by snow machine.
Pete Buttigieg is the sought of politician that most Australians would love. Straight talking (who gives a shit if he himself is straight or not), with a sense of humour and a sense of duty and purpose. If you guys don't want him send him and his family over to us. They would be welcomed with open arms😃.

@@demondogmom7221 I hope you find new homes for all those stray dogs. They all need care of the highest order due to their various problems.

Thank you for your service👍. P.S sorry for using sought instead of sort in my previous post😂.
Love this guy! Youthful, vibrant, intelligent, optimistic, articulate, just admire him so much. He should have the Speaker over for dinner. Many hardened hearts were softened by meeting the children and seeing family bonds.
I'm from Alaska and I appreciate that Sec. Pete pronounced Kotzebue correctly. *lol* The Ice Bar and Ice Hotel are located in Chena Hot Springs just outside of Fairbanks. It is a blast and I highly recommend! Stephen: If you or Evie want to go to Alaska, let me know and I will be your tour guide! 😁
The way he spoke about his home and his husband bringing in the babies, and getting stuff ready for dinner - it actually made me tear up. How can ANYONE see anything wrong with it? Here we have two people, absolutely devoted to each other and their children. WTF is wrong with that?
Nothing and it is not for us to judge. God gives us free will these things are between you and your God. This is biblical a concept that today’s so called Christian Right fails to acknowledge
@@georgiafain3747 Nah, sorry. Acceptance towards gay couples is NOT biblical. ""If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." (Lev. 20:13) Don't get me wrong, I don't care what other people do "between the sheets" as long as everything happens consensually between alive adult humans and nobody gets harmed in any shape or form. The Bible wants gay people to be executed, though....it's not just a matter between the involved persons and god, at least not according to the Bible. (And don't give me that "Oh, but in the New Testament"-excuse...in the New Testament Paul calls sex between males a hallmark of infidels.)
If you take these passages literally, take ALL of the Levitical laws literally. Have you missed church lately? Sabbath breakers are to be stoned. Stop eating shell fish. Observe the dietary codes. Sell everything you have and give it to the poor. The Bible deserves respectful interpretation, not proof texting as justification for prejudice.@@NKA23

Slavers would still exists, women wouldn’t have a vote and the social media world would not exist. But fortunately for the rest of us, your bigotry isn’t what progress and positive change that’s happened throughout American history doesn’t care where you’re stuck in your life. Built here’s a dime to buy your cheap shot self a little clue: Pete is in fact in the White House and he’ll continue to excel and gain respectable popularity. But you keep thinking you even have a grasp on who gets into that warped “Heaven” you speak of. No one here would want that type of wack job religiousness of yours😂
@@DennepeerRelaxationdon’t bother - he’s just a bigot making dumb homophobic jokes because Pete stands as the best man rather than this clown
I find Sec. Buttigieg interviews to be among the most uplifting. Always a pleasure.
Pete is the MAN. We need to get him into the Oval office ASAP. Good interview Colbert!! Reminded me of your Daily Show stuff.
Love ya Pete, and can't wait to vote for you when you run for President again. 😊
What a wonderful way to talk about Pete’s home life
Right?
Good man, Pete Buttigieg! It's crucial that the American people not only have an eye on the President, but also on his Cabinet and staff! How competent are they in the roles they play to keep American informed truthfully about the national and world affairs, but also how safe they keep the American people and all who travel and live here who are not Americans. We all want safety, basic needs met and more, peace and order, equality, and prosperity. There is enough for everyone!
Good comment.
I enjoy, admire and respect Sec. Buddigieg so much. Thank you Stephen for allowing us to spend some time with the two of you.
Pete, you are a true Christian. May God bless your family. Oh, and frozen meatballs ... crock-pots work well when mine were little.
Pete is still hurt when GOP hates on LGBT. Me too, Mr Secretary.
How can you not love that man?
Pete is doing such great work across the USA.
Pete you're an amazing man, run for president again please.
I love this man……we need so many more people like him in our government…..I so wish he was running for president!!!
The way he describes parenting just like it is for every parent when asked about same sex marriage and raising kids to answer to Mike Johnson... breaks my heart, but won't reach those who are against it.
He is getting good experience with his own terrible two children.😂
Better for him to deal with the terrible two politicians!😅
The crazy thing is that Mike Johnson probably has not or will not be as involved as parent as Pete… since that’s a women responsibility 🙄
@@Flor-mq7pk The main difference between the Buttigieg family and the Johnson family is that the Buttigieg family actually loves each other. Johnson’s kids probably don’t actually like him. His wife probably only tolerates him.
Meanwhile Pete and Chasten are still obviously very much in love with each other and their kids adore their dads. The way Pete talks about a basic night of toddler chaos and mac & cheese is with love - you can see it in his eyes.
But it will make them socially unacceptable, just as segregationists are today.
What a brilliant man!
I hope I live long enough to see President Buttigieg in the White House.
If it happens before the first female president, that means America is more ok with a first gentleman than a madam president... Just a thought
Disclaimer: I'm gay myself and 100% support Pete for president.
Me too, and I'm British 😊
Me too, and I'm also British! 😊
methree, but I don't think wants to put his kids through that kinda ordeal.
Ditto!!!
I always did find it hard to accept with this. But I’m changing my mindset.
Good!!
Pete always drops knowledge about the helpfulness of the Biden Harris admin.
Invitation to Mike Johnson for dinner is awesome
Buttigieg's reaction to the Ice Bar information (0:59)....everything!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"That's a five hour ferry trip...and Granholm got an ice bar??" 😂
@@loveroute66 🤣🤣🤣😜
Ice Bar-------> ua-cam.com/video/oLh60Yi4hcE/v-deo.html
I need Pete to run for President within my life time, so that I can vote for this intelligent honest man. I'm 63, please hurry!
I am 76-pray it will happen in my lifetime too.
I voted for him in 2020. Have two buttons that will become collector items. He needs to be our President!
Former Alaska resident here, and that ice bar is in Chena Hot Springs. They built an entire castle inside a building with a fully functional ice bar. Even the glass your drink comes in is actually made of ice!
We are so blessed to have Pete Buttigieg handling transportation for our country!
I would vote for Pete for president in a heartbeat!❤️👏🙏
We need Pete!!!!!!!
Pete’s awesome
THANK YOU！ -From Alaska❄️
Pete is a Truly Great American Man & role model ❤❤❤
What an amazing person Pete B. is! Thanks for this interview! 👍
That is an upstanding, reasonable, and good man.
President Pete... it sounds good to me!😎❤
You can't not love this guy! This is exactly what America needs! Greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮
"Everything about that is chaos, but nothing about it is dark." Raising children 101.
"Everything about that is chaos, but none of that is dark." What a statement.
I love how much Pete loves his family! His face lights up when he speaks of them.
This is the kind of people we need in our government. Would love to see Pete in the White house. Chasten would make a great first husband!
Buttigieg is an extraordinary man with the most amazing perspective. We certainly need more like him in our government.
Rock on brother
As a Canadian, I am a fan of PB and he is articulate, intelligent and well spoken.
I am from India and I am also a fan of him.
Let's see how he does on the Baltimore bridge.
Wish he was a candidate here in Canada. I am 87 and he would have my vote
Former Kotzebue, Alaska, resident here. So glad Secretary Pete got to experience Arctic Alaska. Besides air freight, some Kotzebue residents can plan ahead enough for an annual “barge order”. But all freight that comes by water has to be lightered in 11 miles since Kotzebue Sound is so shallow, making it a very expensive port.
And, once something arrives in Kotzebue, that may not be its final destination. Kotzebue is the hub that serves all the smaller villages in that region. Goods may end up being transferred to a small plane, a boat, or hauled to their final destination by snow machine.
Pete Buttigieg is the sought of politician that most Australians would love. Straight talking (who gives a shit if he himself is straight or not), with a sense of humour and a sense of duty and purpose. If you guys don't want him send him and his family over to us. They would be welcomed with open arms😃.
You can't have him....we adore Pete. We are looking for a new home for several other people.. several Trumps, a dude we think is named Santos, a couple of really weird women, a Cruz.....
@@demondogmom7221 I hope you find new homes for all those stray dogs. They all need care of the highest order due to their various problems. I hope they are held in "care" until their problems stop affecting the rest of the population. In regards to Pete, please look after him well and keep him fed and watered until he becomes President. Thank you for your service👍. P.S sorry for using sought instead of sort in my previous post😂.
@@BluthBoy1 🤣
We need him in the UK too ! 😊
Sorry to inform, a Twitterpoll was held a few years ago and the Netherlands has called dibs. We'll lend him to you though. ;)
I would truly love to see Pete debate Donny Boy- articulate,thoughtful,calm, informed, quick vs rambling, scattered, histrionic, accusatory.
Secretary Pete living and raising his family in the light.
What a lovely man, father, and Secretary. ❤
Secretary Buttigieg is the best! Thank you for having him on!
I love and respect Pete B.so much!!
Love this guy! Youthful, vibrant, intelligent, optimistic, articulate, just admire him so much. He should have the Speaker over for dinner. Many hardened hearts were softened by meeting the children and seeing family bonds.
Love this man! We need him for President! An actually intelligent person, and good and kind! ❤❤❤
I love these two men!❤❤❤
Pete is my idol!
"The love of God is in that household" 😇🥹 bless their little family 👨👨👧👦
I just love Pete. Smart, funny, and absolutely nothing anyone says gets to him. He’s a saint. 😇
Gotta love Pete!👏👏👏
what a great human being that kid is
Love this guy so much! We need more people like him in government.
I love him so much!!!!! He is just amazing and we are so lucky to have him in that position🥰
I'm from Alaska and I appreciate that Sec. Pete pronounced Kotzebue correctly. *lol* The Ice Bar and Ice Hotel are located in Chena Hot Springs just outside of Fairbanks. It is a blast and I highly recommend! Stephen: If you or Evie want to go to Alaska, let me know and I will be your tour guide! 😁
He is EXACTLY WHAT THIS COUNTRY NEEDS! Intelligent, patient, compassionate.
The way he spoke about his home and his husband bringing in the babies, and getting stuff ready for dinner - it actually made me tear up. How can ANYONE see anything wrong with it? Here we have two people, absolutely devoted to each other and their children. WTF is wrong with that?
Nothing and it is not for us to judge. God gives us free will these things are between you and your God. This is biblical a concept that today’s so called Christian Right fails to acknowledge
@@georgiafain3747 Nah, sorry. Acceptance towards gay couples is NOT biblical. ""If a man lies with a man as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." (Lev. 20:13) Don't get me wrong, I don't care what other people do "between the sheets" as long as everything happens consensually between alive adult humans and nobody gets harmed in any shape or form. The Bible wants gay people to be executed, though....it's not just a matter between the involved persons and god, at least not according to the Bible. (And don't give me that "Oh, but in the New Testament"-excuse...in the New Testament Paul calls sex between males a hallmark of infidels.)
If you take these passages literally, take ALL of the Levitical laws literally. Have you missed church lately? Sabbath breakers are to be stoned. Stop eating shell fish. Observe the dietary codes. Sell everything you have and give it to the poor. The Bible deserves respectful interpretation, not proof texting as justification for prejudice.@@NKA23
It made me choke up to see how far from grace we have fallen as a nation. He if thatch’s what he identifies as is a three dollar bill
@@walt5388 so.... you are offended by a good, honest, intelligent man in a committed relationship, speaking with great love about his family? About his children? Wow.... What is WRONG with you?
I hope this country will calm down enough in time to see that PB needs to be President some day!
I love Pete❤
he needs to run for president!
