What a joke! There are a bunch of clowns in office.
Indiana should be ashame of voting this clown in to any office.
Evil clowns.
Uneducated, socialist. True fascism on display for all the world to see.
Every single one of them! And a failed mayor who couldn’t even fix potholes in his city of 100k is now in charge of transportation for the US? Racist roads!
Is this the non breastfeeding guy?
He's one of the absolute worst parts of this hellish administration.
How do you chose? Biden, Pelosi, Booty boo,Fauci. There's just so many.🤔
What so special about him he doesn't have experience in his current position .
@@carlgray9260 which position is that ? Birthing parent ? Being a mother?
I agree----Cancun Cruz is but one part of a really bad group of extremist hell-boys...!
Same comment as many others.
To me, it's looking like the only qualification for a government appointment, in this
administration is, Do you fall under any of the "Protected classes" we have declared?
If (yes), please head directly to the payroll department & tell them where to send your paycheck.
Wait, Secretary Buttigeg can make a "Risk Assessment" on whether or not HE will wear a mask, but the administration wants the power to make that assessment for us and force it on us. Got it.
Buttigieg is an obvious psychopath. You can tell he's truly enjoying himself as he smirks and lies through his teeth.
Are the people not seeing this admin are fascists?
He never should have been handed a cabinet position with zero experience, he was never even a member of Congress. The only reason he was handed that job is because he's gay.
do you really think that's what he said..?
because he clearly did not say that. @@nrowned5975
The smirk on Buttigieg's face at 2:55 tells you all you need to know about him, plays semantics and hides behind the "expertise" label.
Brings to mind a certain FBI agent....
100% he is a paid off, lost little boy.
Doesn't make him any less of, a piece of CA CA!!!
Small town mayor without experience on such matters.
His expertise is in back alley rimjobs.

“This is outside my area of expertise…”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for this post! Grateful for UA-cam!
What’s his area of expertise? Taking paternity leave for two months whilst the supply chain gets so poorly mishandled? He has no expertise!
His expertise is clear: Rules for THEE but not for ME.
He's such a liar just like the rest of them!
Homophobe maybe? Trump devastated the economy and you blame Pete B.
Paternity leave....for an adopted son....with his gay husband.
@@-HughJass- Unbelievable right. So much abuse in our government.
Question: Exactly WHEN did we vote in the people at the CDC to represent us??? WE DIDN'T. It's a massive abuse of power. #PeteButtigeig
another agency that's been weaponized
Best comment written in this post!!!
Rochelle only there for her compliance factor....
Wrong. CDC has always provided public health guidance under both Republican & Democratic leadership.
There was too much whining about covering your mouth and nose in a pandemic…
Go to Ukraine for a day and see what they have to do just to live another day
We DIDN'T vote the supreme court in either. But that's not abusive power, right.
“I made a personal risk assessment with regards to not wearing a mask.” Oh how ODD! Suddenly they’re all about *individual freedoms & choices and personal weighing of risk* even though literally 5 minutes ago they were all about top-down autocratic rule by fiat!
who drives a Fiat?
God bless you Sen Cruz love to hear you speak 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🙏🙏🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷👍👍😎🇱🇷🇱🇷
" A complex Question" ??? It was either a "Yes " or a " No" Response that was required!
That's the problem with hearings/debate on limited time, they always try to waste said limited time...
Or the more popular "yeaaah but nooo".
It’s because he knows what he wants to do is opposite of what he feels obligated to say he will do. If he (now) believes it should be up to the individual to decide , his department shouldn’t be reposting the opinions of ONLY one side of the argument.
And Cruz made a great point, if the vast majority of American supported the mandate, why did the vast majority of Americans celebrate it being declared unconstitutional and immediately defy the wishes of the mandate?
He acts as if the mandate was lifted because conditions had changed favorably enough for it to be lifted, that is not what happened, it was determined by the courts that from a legal point of view the mandate should have never occurred and peoples lives should have been ruined enforcing an illegal mandate
That's what lawyer politicians do. double talk.😡
Whenever any of these clowns are asked a yes or no question, you almost never get a yes or no answer.

Where did he lie? Give an example.
@@u.s.navy_pete4111 question wasn't directed at me but he lied that he isn't familiar with matters surrounding laptop.
Look up his powerful father Joseph Buttigieg. Unfortunately, then It will all make sense.
Shall never Comply with anything they tell us to do!!
Experience verses a greenhorn.
Literally, EVERYTHING is outside of his area of knowledge base. As for expertise…he has none.
True that 👍🏾
But….he’s keeping to the play book
He's got 1
His expertise is behind him, located halfway down
Then, by Biden's standards, he's a perfect nominee for the Supreme Court.
👏👏👏👏
Every thing is outside of Buttigieg expertise.
That is very funny .. very funny ..
Wasn't he running for President a one time? SMH
Because he has no expertise people we are in deep trouble here
Other than how to make a big one shoot
Thank you , MR. TED CRUZ!!!, let the roasting begin
They are all part of the same club, hypnotizing you to cheer for one of them, while the real problems are not only ignored but UNHEARD-of.
The CDC does not have the legal right to demand everyone wear masks where ever
Peter booty plugg actually answered a yes or no question 🤔
CDC doesnt have authority. Period.
@@lover2ed134 good one. Mr Bootigieg, can you answer a yes or no question? Answer. "Yes".
Albeit in an underhanded and slippery fashion.
@@lover2ed134 🤣🤪👍
Everything is outside of Pete's area of expertise, even having a baby.
He figured out maternity leave real quick.
He's ah women in love 💕 . What a lovely way of saying how much you love me.
And parenting. Those kids are being deprived of a decent example of how a man is supposed to treat a woman, and they’re being deprived of a decent example of how a good woman reacts and responds to her husband. Pete Buttigieg and his “husband” can only model an unnatural marital and parenting relationship to their children. Their son is highly probable to grow up gay, and their daughter is highly probable to grow up to be sexually attracted to gay men, ensuring that she’ll be sexually frustrated or that she’ll be locked into a series of dangerous relationships that are only monogamous on her part because, at best, she’ll be attracted to men on the down-low. Either Buttigieg and his “husband” are extremely delusional and/or they do not love their children. They are narcissists who wanted children just to feed their hubris, NOT because it is a Commandment, or to raise up healthy, happy, responsible members of the next generation, OR ANY OTHER NOBLE MOTIVATION.
Lol!!
Not everything
He had expertise in playing the male organ
Nothing ever happens to these liars so what good does it do to question them.
The only rules being put in place are the ones that restrict common citizens. The ones being ignored are the ones that would uphold justice. WE ARE COLLAPSING.
It's disgusting that the CDC was given god-like power, and there's not an elected official among them. This is akin to taxation without representation.
They already had this power pre-pandemic. Come into contact with someone with a communicable disease and you will be required to isolate. Ignore this order and armed marshals will come to your door. As people that came into contact with TB will know.
I think taxation without representation has been done for for about ions..
It's all "liberty and freedom" until the CDC has the answers you need to live and you don't.
It sure is! W.H.O. is going to be appointed dictator for all World Health, everything-mandatory vaccines to dealing with health World Wide. The end of this month there will be a World Summit where all the Globalists will gather to discuss their next phase. World Economic Forum, United Nations-all the Elites form around the world
@@FactCheckDoResearch that's common enough when you upload video. You haven't found "uploadgate".
It seems that many things are outside of Pete's area of expertise.
You think Transportation secretaries should be experts in public health? Are you Biden's nephew because that is next level stupid.
Including his job.
His only "area of expertise" is butt kissin!!!
I wonder who dresses him in the morning
The only thing he has expertise in is Male anatomy.
I like how that pervert deflects with the greatest of ease.
Pervert????? Him or you. You have first hand info on perverts.
The smirk on his face when asked about the Hunter s Laptop 😮😮😮 it s unreal this is real life.
Is it the laptop misinformation?
I’m not “familiar” with that
🤡
Another professional liar --good grief, are they born or made?
"I made a personal risk decision..." but I thought the argument the whole time was that the mask was to protect the other person who might be more vulnerable.
exactly correct!
Why would any responsible Government appoint someone like this?
You have EVERY right to yell fire in a crowded theater. You will just be liable for anything that happens after. we don't need to ban speech period!
Actually, you don't have the right you yell fire in a crowded theatre unless there is actually a fire ... any more than you have a right to commit armed robbery. (But i agree with Cruz on all of this, just setting record straight).
@@davidlethe1391 you have every right too. According to law, you have the right. If people are harmed as a result of your actions, you're liable for any damage but you have the right to do it
@@davidlethe1391 no, you do not have the right to commit armed robbery. But yelling fire is not illegal
@@shaynewalker3248 I don't know they tell you if you're being attacked or raped you should yell fire has more people respond to fire then help or rape
@@shaynewalker3248 I think you're missing the point. You have the constitutional right to free speech and say anything you want...ANYTHING. But there are repercussions to certain types of speech such as yelling "fire" in a movie theater, or communicating threats, etc.
You can SAY anything you want but there may be negative consequences. Just like I can use every racist word in the book to describe every race and nationality out there but the consequences are that I may be ostracized by friends, family, and coworkers or lose business if I'm a business owner, and that's the way free speech is SUPPOSED to work.
The left and the right both have the right to say and believe AND SAY any crazy amount of nonsense that they choose but the left has used social platforms to silence any opposition. There's a new video out there showing that Google got caught filtering Conservative Political Emails to the Spam Folder at over 800% the rate of Liberal Political Emails.
I think the joke floating around is that the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality is about 6 months.
Fundamental human rights are not issued or controlled by governments. End of argument
He's a reprobate what do you expect from these people
Thank you!!! Finally, somebody fkn gets it!!!
What is a fundamental human rights?who says so?you didn't give a arguement
Thank god someone has not only understood this, but also saying it!
Naivety. Many human rights are controlled by governments. It's not right, it is reality.
Bread and Circuses.
Ted is so great.He just.keeps going.So good watching them squirm.
This isn't a philosophical question Pete. You are either the type who believes people can have their own opinions/come to their own conclusions using the free exchange of speech, thought, and debate OR you are the type who believes people are incapable of thinking for themselves and shouldn't have that ability.
Indeed - " A complex Question" ??? It was either a "Yes " or a " No"
Cancun Cruz conflating free speech w/ Hunter Biden's stupid laptop and the Forbes viewers are falling for so called culture war...
The latter of the two is exactly what Obama said.

You absolutely can yell “fire” in a crowded theater if there is a fire.

It's proven by what they are doing now. Took a flight last week...full flight. Saw probably 3 people with a face diaper on during the flight.

You have the right to scream “fire” in a crowded theater, you don’t have the right to FALSELY scream “fire” in a crowded theater.
Egg Zachary
Actually it was until the Supreme Court said it was okay in the 60s I believe it was.
I scream MOVIE in fire stations! Toots!
You can yell "fire" in any building, crowded or not. Its not illegal and no, the supreme court never made a ruling on that. There was a supreme court judge that used "you cant yell fire in a crowded movie theater" in a response to a defendant's lawyer in an unrelated case.
Its all just a misunderstanding from an old court case that leaves out the actual context and point the judge was making.
@@Gfysimpletons . Dont be silly. You're supposed to yell "rape" when theres a fire, or blow your whistle.
Wow, Alfred E. Newman just outright lied about the 'fire in a crowded theatre' myth.
Never understood that one. As long as there is a fire, what else is a person supposed to do? On the other hand, don't panic people if not warranted.
What, me worry?
Alfred E Newman was gay?
He kinda looks like if Alfred E Newman and Droopy got it on and didn't abort and shit out this ghey human...that's what I see at least he got both his parents looks...
.... you CAN yell fire in a theater... you CAN NOT incite panic. I am so tired of people not understanding this.
Why even have these hearings. They’re just talking past each other
Actually, you CAN yell "fire" in a theater if there is a fire in the theater. The law or the First Amendment does NOT make yelling "fire" in a theater illegal!
What about screaming boogeyman whilst burning the theatre down?
When someone yells fire in a theater, I yell Where?
Yeah, but that doesn't make _ABUSING_ one's freedom of speech right, now does it?! Creating panic, mayhem, & destruction with a few false words IS a crime. Making terroristic threats at innocents out in public is also a crime. So if you really think yelling "Fire!" into a crowded cinema that ISN'T on fire is legal, go ahead & try it! Watch what happens next, pal. See ya in prison!
It is illegal, if it causes panic, it's the most misrepresented quote in American law. Free speech doesn't mean unchecked speech or consequential speech, just like you can't tell bom$ on a plane.
You certainly CAN yell "fire" in a crowded theater. You will suffer the consequences if wrong, but you certainly have the right to do so. And you can yell "bomb" on an airplane. Again, if false you will be subject to arrest but you certainly can yell it.
Just like dancing the Hokey-Pokey.
Gett'em Ted, absolutely an embarrassing skid to the state of Indiana
Excellent questioning by Ted Cruz.
You CAN yell fire ina crowded theater if the theater is on FIRE.
I was on a plane the day the mandate ended . I saw less than ten people wearing a mask . I was thrilled that mask mandate was over . Didn't get sick after arriving home .
NO, u r mistaking, petey, I mean mr secretary!😂 what a tool!
Did anyone else see the guy behind him? He was like "uhhhhhh, you sir are liar' lol
Thank you, Senator Cruz. Censorship is not the answer. All citizens should have the right to decide what their own healthcare will be, that right should not be reserved for the 'elites.'
@Rob yN Are you in favor of women not having the right to choose to have an abortion!
If anyone or any party politicized an issue it was the last administration yes the fake administration. Don't bother with a reply because I know you have nothing intelligent to say just try to figure it out using your own mixed up head. No democrat here 😀
