I'm not religious, but I'll have faith in our country as long as smart and principled people like Pete Buttigieg can make it to the top.
I think you have good reason to stand with people like Butigieg, therefore you don’t need faith
He handled questions intelligently and articulately. I am now listening..
You should have seen his CNN town hall. A damn good start.
This guy is so effortlessly eloquent and obviously intelligent beyond his years. But he's also not so far to the left that a moderate might consider him due to his common sense approach and willingness and desire to reach across the isle. I see a very bright future for Pete.
😂😂😂😂
Pete is actually very right in terms of political spectrum
@@abhiparuchuri2893 If by right you mean correct
Far left... U mean giving everyone healthcare
@@hillaryclintondidnothingwrong q
He certainly is brilliant...just the lightbulb we need in this dark world right now.
Mayor Peter, you are awesome, the world has been laughing at us for 2 yrs and hopefully you will help us fix it
I like the "help us fix it" part of your comment.
There is way too much damage at this point for just one person to fix.
When JFK told the French about the missile bases in Cuba, he offered to show proof. The French said that the word of a US president was enough.
There was a time when the most advanced science was always done in the US.
The ARM processor in your phone etc was not invented in the US.
It is not a lack of honest or smart people that is the problem.
Pretty impressive for a hardball interview. I have to say this guy really punches above his weight for a mayor of a mid-sized city.
WCGreeny yeah, but what Bill always says, we ( the dems) are to freaking nice!!!!
@@Anna-914 He strikes me as the type whos kindness should not be mistaken for weakness.
ZENISKEN I hope so. But do you know what I mean. We’re too nice. There’s a clip of Bill that’s called “ dems are too nice “ look it up. Let me know what you think
Best part is his age, suggesting at worst he'll be around for a while.
Agreed n well said
Mayor Pete is a white Obama when it comes to his eloquent speaking skills.
He’s like Obama with 10% less charisma and several more languages
Youth is very charming and reassuring. It was what a lot of people liked about Obama, he was charming, young, and handsome. Once Pete Buttigieg has a larger national footprint, I completely expect him to leverage those natural gifts into some kind of higher public office.
Not enough swagger, but yeah, he's good 😉
Obama is half white lol
Pete buttigieg was not Obama. Both Pete and Obama their background of birth are different. One of them was birth of white people who came from loval native American family. One of them was birth of African black Americans family who came from Kenya
I loved his distinction b/w "freedom to" and "freedom from". such a brilliant guy
Yeah I’m donating to this dudes campaign
Julia Haynes - Do it! I did yesterday!
Don't do it. Gay men are often just as misogynistic as straight men. They don't support women why should we support them?
He will be an excellent president, I can hardly wait.
Why? Because he can form a sentence? What about the policies he would be implementing?
A great mind, an inspirational message and a moral compass....he has hit the road running and it is time for the electorate to give him their nod of approval!
What differentiates and distinguishes Buttigieg from the rest of the field (including the top 3 frontrunners currently) is that, he processes each question from Maher and gives thoughtful answers, rather than canned reply that answer-but-don't-answer interviewer's questions, forever steering the answer back to their own agenda. Buttigieg's answers truly give me an insight into this guy as a person, rather than him as a politician, and I really appreciate that. (Maher is a good interviewer too.)
I can't wait to see him in debates! This guy seems like the real deal.
Definitly weaker, but less controverdial than BERNIE or Warren.
I like both Pete and Elizabeth Warren, as well as Beto and Kamala, but I'll be waiting til debates to really make my decision.
He looks like he will shine in the debates.
He is such an authentic, refreshing and brilliant candidate. Answered every question sincerely and with great knowledge. Literally the polar opposite from Trump.
He's also a veteran. The Conservative Republicans hate the idea of a Democrat veteran and they will do everything to try and discredit his military service just as they did with John Kerry.
@@InfinateRadiant Go check out some of his other interviews! He seems to have pretty definitive ideas on both subjects.
@@InfinateRadiant So self righteous, and totally
unaware, you have GOT to be a trumper!🤯
When will liberals learn that you could vote for an idiot like Trump or a coherent professor like Obama but at the end you won't get anything different. The system has been ruled by an oligarchy that uses the branches of government as props in maintaining their power. Keep begging for social services or equality from those powerful elite, center right oligarchs, but they won't do shit because you checked a box. You're only playing their game, and as well as Mayor Pete can compose his sentences or Bernie can bring out the youth - they won't accomplish anything for the working class in America without mobilization. The left in a America has been dead since FDR, and he didn't do the things he did because he was a leftist either, but because the left gave him no other choice.
@@InfinateRadiant Look up his other interviews. he talks plenty about both.
Very gracious and classy candidates for President, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Mayor Pete for being 37 years old, intellectual, war veteran who gives sensible answers in the President Debate. What a great role model for young and older voters.
Voters of all ages, nationalities, democrats, independent & republicans should give him a chance
And he speaks in complete, coherent sentences!!
Yeah. Obviously unelectable
That would be nice to have an articulate or educated president again. *trump has a grade school mentality and seems to struggle with complex ideas.
Very impressive !! USA you would do well to elect this young man to the highest office.
Neil GJ why ? What are his solutions? He’s young gay and a mayor. Ok. What else ? What are his policy proposals?
I admire he kept a even keel when Bill started being Bill marginalizing millennials and assuming since he’s so intelligent it doesn’t make sense he could be religious as well. Didn’t get defensive, sling any mud or try and debate he just calmly explained himself. Great speaker.
Yes, I agree. I consider myself to be in a similar spiritual space as Mayor Pete. Folks I meet are always surprised at how intellectual and logical I am yet very spiritual. The two for me go together really well in my mind and heart.
I agree n very impressive - he doesn't get side-tracked and has great things to say.
@Maritza Piccarillo people born in 2000s are generation Z, not millenials
Mayor Pete Buttigieg is a War Navy Veteran Ivy league Mayor with brain, experience & humility
He understands about unity, national & international geopolitic policies, Uniting American.
He is not perfect but he can unite 95% of American voters 2020.
Very gracious, energetic and classy 38 year old candidates for President, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Damn he crushed that last answer!
He’s an excellent communicator! Probably the best of the Dems running so far. The primary debates will be a good meter of his political aptitude. Good luck Mayor Pete!
Daniel M Tulsi is terrific also..... Very Smart and Veteran too.....👌
@@riosricardo7400 She has nowhere near the chops that Mayor Pete has, and she was raised in an anti-LGBTQ religious cult. I just don't see her as my choice. Much as it would be nice to have a woman president, I'm not voting for a woman just on that basis. And I'm over 60 and a lifelong feminist.
Yes yes and yes, now he just actually has to declare that he is running for President. He still just as an exploratory committee at this point.
If he does, he will beat out Bernie and all the other losers and stand face to face against the big daddy himself.
Daniel M nope. Andrew yang is better. Sorry these guy doesn’t have one policy proposal
@@MG-io9ll Do you not know that it's all about how charismatic a candidate is? The 1% of people who actually give a shit about policy don't swing elections. This is politics 101.
America... it's ok, be kind to yourself, please elect this man.
Haven't heard 1 policy proposal by him
@@alensaric1082 If anyone's interested, Pete Buttigieg did a Tedx Talk a few years back. It's very informative and worth checking out if you want to get more insight on him.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg is a brilliant man- so articulate, thoughtful, considerate, wise and profoundly good! I hope that the American people have the wisdom to choose him, as he will be a great president.
The American people and wisdom? I have my doubts.
Having the wisdom to choose him is an oxymoron. He’s a silver tongued phony utterly beholden to corporate interests. Ask the people of South Bend what kind of mayor Pete was. There’s a reason he’s polling at 0% with black people.
He's an extreme leftist and supports infanticide
@Ed Kelly I'd like to have an after birth abortion of Pete
Matthew Mosca Below your comment, find an appalling display of the American people's wisdom. Pathetic.
He is such a light
He handled the notoriously opinionated and somewhat cranky Maher (Don't get me wrong, I love Bill. He's wickedly funny and insightful, but can be difficult...) with aplomb. He has a calm way of handling aggressive questioning. And even more importantly, actually answers the questions- thoughtfully, rationally, without deflecting or going to the canned response. He's my guy for Prez!!
What bill did here is nothing compared to what trump will do to you if you get on stage with him . He called Schiff a pencil neck something middle school me would say about a teacher I didn’t like and his supporters ate it up. I really think this calm approach might just work against trump, there’s nothing a bully hates more than when you don’t react . He’s right don’t make this election all about trump makenit about what YOU are going to do for this country . You can’t debate someone who is not approaching the questions in good faith . You have to represent yourself and only yourself .
Seriously! I am getting real tired of millennial's being dismissed as the safe space generation.
Agreed. He handled it well. I'd love to see an hour of cranky Bill trying to pick him apart.
Buteigieg , is a Socialist Baby Killer ! Bill Maher is just a Douche !
@@stevesanzari7294 Again you prove that you live your life in fear of people more intelligent. That must be just about everyone.
I like him. He’s impressive. He is not screaming, doesn’t have this attitude „I’m amazing vote for me“. He is more like „i have ideas, let’s fix this country together.“ I can see him as a president.
Mayor Pete and Andrew Yang (yang2020.com) are both running on ideas. Yang has more ideas and I like him better, but doesn't have Buttigieg's political experience, so it's hard to choose or even know who would win out. Yang/Buttigieg to ticket could be awesome though.
Sues Anna, I agree. He's not making those worn out campaign promises. But changing the mindset. I like the "freedom to", not "freedom from" nor does he claim to have it all figured out, but is moving in the right direction.
Bill needs to stop asking a question then talking over the top of the answer
I kind of understand Bill. Pete's talking style is like giving a lecture. There is only 8 mins, you have to use it wise to pitch your biggest ideas. He talked about "sense of belonging", too weak, too vague for president candidate topic.
Yeah that pisses me off on the regular
YANG GANG 2020
I'm British. I can't vote. I haven't seen a lot of interviews yet. But this young man. Wow. His answers, calmness and responses have massively impressed me
@audi presley Had a bad day? Isn't your tax return what you had expected?
You should check out Yang, he offers alot of policies all of which are going help alot of people from different backgrounds and industries. Humanity first
I am American and I really agree. It is critical there be intellectual leadership of governments around the world prevailing in elections, now and into the future. Especially true as far as the countries that can make an outsized difference regarding the larger problems the world is facing. We would be lucky to call this man president. PS: Seeing your post getting hijacked says to me a lot about the current problems here in America.
@audi presley Pete's plan for "Medicare for all who want it" is a closer step to Medicare for all than the ACA. The whole plan allows for private company, employer-paid healthcare. Everyone else goes into a government ran pool that will have the ability to negotiate prices, as well as a agency that has the power to change patents from the pharmaceutical industry by changing things like the amount of time before generics can be released by competitors or even paying a flat price for the agency to hand a patent completely to government itself if the companies will not negotiate in good faith. The same as if your land is needed in a right of way situation. The purpose of all of these things add up to a risk pool so large that it would logically be the cheaper option with a larger network of providers. That Means the "Medicare for all who want it" plan would lead to Medicare for all.
audi presley Alex Jones themed radio station?
he totally crushed this interview
i would pay money to see him debate the current president
I would love to see that too.
@joe hundertmark - The only way that he gets any chance to debate the big orange blob is if he gets into the Democratic Party debates first. To do that, he either has to poll high enough in the polls chosen by the DNC or he has to get 65,000 unique individual donations to his campaign. So, if you would pay money to see him debate Trump, you need to start now by donating at least $1 to his campaign. While you're at it, donate at least $1 each to all the other progressives who need to get on the debate stage so that the DNC doesn't block progressive voices in the primary campaign.
You can either contribute through his campaign web site or by going to the Act Blue web site and looking him up to donate to his campaign there.
Hopefully he gets the votes so that we can all see them debate for free
@@worldcitizenra, he hit the 65,000 mark around March 16. Personally, I'm giving Bernie a small monthly donation to make his numbers, but Pete is getting a much larger one from me each month.
@@sabrinafree - Thanks for the info. I had not seen the latest positioning. As I learn more about him, I'm becoming a bit more inclined to follow the direction you have taken.
very very well spoken guy with awesome values that make perfect sense in today's world
5:46 "We can't paint people into a corner, where they have nowhere to go..."
This lines up perfectly with my philosophy of "flight or fight", where if you leave someone no room to escape or compromise or change their position, they will attack you, because that is the only option left. It's too easy, when one goes into a combative mode, to forget this principle. But, the wisest of diplomats practice this principle regularly. They are always asking themselves, "How can I offer my opponent options, both of which will suit my interests, or in the worst case, that I can live with?" That's some rare wisdom there, that young Pete offers us.
Man... Mayor Pete IS ON A ROLL. Coming out of nowhere and now he's everywhere. Always composed, always has a thoughtful answer. The way he answers questions honestly reminds me of my first impressions of Obama in 07-08. I am very interested to see where he goes and in some debates with other candidates!
He also reminds me of Obama but not in a good way, and I liked Obama. He has a lot of lofty "hope and change" rhetoric without any actual policy substance. Policy is what should matter, not rhetoric. Look at Obama, for all his rhetoric, he ended up being pro-establishment president who couldn't even pass universal healthcare, and ultimately led to Trump.
@@dmitchel0820 I'm not saying this is wrong or right but Pete has said in interviews that he actually thinks the talks others are giving are a bit too policy heavy this early on. He said he doesn't know if it's a good idea to come out basically saying you have everything figured out on day 1 (I'm paraphrasing but you can find the interviews...). You can disagree with his strategy but I just wanted to point out he is running his campaign this way on purpose.
In my opinion I agree that the policy needs to come but for example if this were 2015 Trump wouldn't even launch his campaign until months from now. We just keep starting this race earlier and earlier so I think there's still plenty of time for Pete to back up his ideas with specific policy.
@@Spike.SpiegeI I suppose, I just feel like policy should be the core reason he is running. Everyone should have a clear set of problems they want to address and a set of specific, workable solutions for them. If someone is running without making their solutions central to their platform, it makes it seem like they are in it for personal gain and either don;t have a clear plan or don't want to reveal what the plan is. Either makes me a bit suspicious. After all, It's never too early to start discussing solutions if that is truly the purpose of the campaign.
@@dmitchel0820 It's early days, he had 8 minutes, they had a lot of ground to cover. Expecting his policy proposals to be instantly available is just self-defeating. Nobody should have their mind made completely up right now about who they support, imo. We should be listening to all the candidates. Given how deeply and thoughtfully Pete answered Bill's questions, do you really think he could adequately address specific policies on top of that, all in 8 minutes? No. Look what the Republicans do with the Green New Deal-- they are making up lies about it without even listening to people. Better to get to know who Pete is, then listen to what he's got to offer. More opportunities to listen in the future. And btw, he did talk about his priorities for action, just in the way he talked about what matters. Also, he has enacted policy in the town he's mayor of-- you can research that, it's in the public record.
@@victoriabaker4400Explaining policy isn't self defeating unless the policy is bad... I'm not saying his policy is bad, it's likely very good and I like him and certainly haven't made up my mind, I'm slightly suspicious he is another Obama(all talk, no action) due to the fact that policy clearly isn't the main reason he is running.
Please vote for him American friends, this is the kind a guy you need to MAGA!
What does he actually want to do though? His website is very sparse on actual policy, and that should matter.
@@dmitchel0820
It is early.
He has stated that he doesn't want to be Trump.
He wants trans people to go to the bathroom without worry.
He wants gay people to marry without trouble.
He wants economic opportunities for blue collar folks.
These are not very specific but it seems about as much as others have suggested early in campaigns.
@@kensmith5694 It's early but Bernie already has several policies listed and Andrew Yang literally has more than 70.
@@dmitchel0820 He's purposely waiting to unveil his specific policies.
@@peteweiss8720 What is he waiting for? His policies should be the whole reason he is running, not just incidental.
I LOVE PETE! He is definitely an active listener, calm, intelligent and right on! I can see him winning as the Dem candidate toward leadership of this country which we do not have now
This man is intelligent, learned, very articulate , has executive experience being a mayor in a red state, and a true patriot having served many years.
Yes, he has my support.
He has experience being a racist, pathological liar who will screw over anyone to climb the political ladder. A truly dangerous corporate-backed sociopath.
🇺🇸Mayor Pete is Steadily & Surely wining the #DNC Presidential candidate nomination.
Thank you Mayor Pete Buttigieg 🇺🇸a Military Navy Veteran & Ivy league Presidential candidate
Who speaks intellectually about unity, national & international policies & geopolitics.
He is not perfect but he can unite big majority of American voters 2020. #PeteForAmerica

Russian putin trump bots trolling. Fu#k off.
Interested to know if you still think Pete is who you think.
Hey now! I think I see a glimpse of why people are talking about him and why his numbers are going up. 👍
I'm looking forward to the next 10 years. You get these, young, smart, driven, and likable people who get the people excited. My father (in his 60s) is happy about all these young democrats to finally kick people his age out of office
@Agent Fungus I'm 62 and I might not put it quite like you did, but yeah. Pelosi is doing a good job right now and I'm thankful for that, but we Dems need to form a ticket that is appealing to the younger generations if we want to win. Voter turnout and voter excitement is everything. When voter turnout increases, Democrats win. Which is why Republicans focus on suppressing voter turnout.
Vanillastump your dad sounds super lame. My dad is 72 and he still works. And he says fuck young people cUse they’re Pussys. And he’s right and so is Bill Maher. I’m in my early twenties btw and my generation sucks balls
Vanillastump yes me too. Many young people are bright and principled. Pete has an impressive background even before he became mayor. Check him out
Agent Fungus the house and senate needs TERM LIMITS and so does the Supreme Court!
This guy has potential. He was the change we were looking for in the last election, but didn't have the option to vote for. That will change in 2020. Funny too. An intelligent, well-spoken, gay guy from the midwest who can beat Trump. He is the guy Tump fears most... and for good reason.
Apologies for the ignorance of Jason Cole^. I have been committed to the work of LGBTQ+ liberation my entire adult life, and genuinely feel that the person with the best record on LGBTQ+ issues is Bernie Sanders. Bernie also polls much better than Pete against trump particularly among minority voters and in swing states (two demographic variables that will win or lose this election). I'm hoping we can have an open and honest dialogue about their actual records and policies, and see if we can come to a mutual understanding about who the best candidate is. With respect
I just can't support a guy whose marriage partner mounts on occasion.
oh how i wish this was true :(
2024 ok?👌🏼
@@dah8914 Good, as Trump has already screwed you. Anyone who thinks what a person does in bed affects their leadership abilities was dropped on their head as a child.
Thank you Bill for having Pete on your Show. It is so refreshing to watch your show. Pete is brilliant.
Only Andrew Yang trumps him(sorry about he pun)
I gotta tell you. First time i see this kid & i like him. He's sharp, articulated, he's really on to something. We need to keep and eye on him. ✌
I think a Beto/Pete or the other way around ticket will win the presidency.
I am totally comfortable voting for 37 years old, intelligent, fresh yet mature, serious, from Internet-generation, having leadership quality... In this information age, a leader of younger generation may be better shaped and prepared for the new challenges ahead of us. Such leader may be immune from the baggages and ideologies of the past while bringing new problem-solving skills and ideas.
👏
When someone told me he was too young I replied with “old men have done so well, haven’t they.”
But he has more billionaire donors than any other democratic candidate... I do not want more politicians bought by companies. Big pass for me.
The wild Bill Maher gets offended and defensive when a possible enemy is smarter and knows what they are doing.
@FuckYouGoogle wolf
Which is easy. He then shucks n jives, I’m just a comedian.
Never understood his appeal other than the circle jk studio.
This guy is amazing! He must have a quantum computer in his brain. The way he so easily steps up to Bill Maher's devious mental twists and comes out triumphant cannot be matched by any of the other political candidates I know. With whoever he will be able to debate, he will come out ahead. He is the leader we need.
Thank goodness for this guy. He couldn't have arrived at a better time.
Yeah if he get's in it'll beDoomsday !
@@stevesanzari7294 Doomsday for the insanity we've been living these last couple of years.
He doesn't pivot and it's so refreshing
Pivoting is needed when you don't have a good answer.
He does pivot; he gives non-answers, too, when it suits him. But much more serious than that is his lack of a real message.
Just found out about this Pete and Andrew Yang, so excited for the debates!
TheFalzox Pete is the same substance-less centrist democrat, who just happens to be gay, Andrew Yang is actually focused on substantive policy that will help Americans
Zach Gravatt by giving them free money, by raising our taxes by a lot, you should actually know what your talking about before you comment an idiotic comment on how yang is somehow better than buttigieg while yang is in 6th place in the polls and buttigieg is in 3rd
@@radioactivebull6952 1k a month with a 10% VAT(value added tax) on almost everything. the 10% VAT will hurt rich people much more because they obviously spend more money. So when poor people go to the grocery store they spend an extra 40cents on milk and basically an extra 10%. You have to spend over 10k a month for that 1k to not be effective. But when Betty in Beverly Hills is buying her 2nd Ferrari or another Hermes bag, shes paying way more in the 10% tax. A family of 4 living in poverty will greatly benefit from a UBI, a single parent would greatly benefit. Who does this program actually hurt? rich people. A 10% VAT is way more effective than a wealth tax and its been shown in history. Germany and France adopted a VAT when their wealth tax failed.

Yes!!!!! I'm definitely a Mayor Pete supporter... he debated Maher's same old talking points so well
He sure did. I'm an atheist who mostly despises religion, but his answer about the left reclaiming god was spot on and really smart.
@@drewfleming5584 Well, in large part the left has the same moral compass, so it's a natural combination.
@@saradanhoff6539 exactly right
@@drewfleming5584 -- Agreed. I'm the same and thought his answer was very interesting. If the Democrats can peel away even a few percent of voters in the Midwest--many of whom are religious--the GOP is toast.
@@seejayjames my thoughts exactly; besides there being substance to what he said, I believe it's shrewd political strategy as well.
I live in South Bend. He's my Mayor Pete! A Bernie/Mayor Pete ticket would beat trump
You're lucky to have him! It's refreshing to hear from a leader who can speak with meaning, outreach, and.....complete sentences.
Pitti-Sing Sanders gabbard would be better. Pete doesn’t really add anything to the campaign where as tulsi would strengthen Bernie where he’s weak
@Pitti-Sing I would love to see Mayor Pete debate Pence.
I've heard great things about him but this is the first time I've heard him speak. Wow he is sharp.
KANUCKLE HEAD. Me too!! 👍🏻
Pete is solid. Go get em Mayor Pete.
Been a fan of Pete since this video! He's still my #1 choice
He is so refreshing to listen to. He doesn’t pivot, he answers questions and doesn’t just use talking points. This is what we need
Unlike: Conway, Sanders, donald.
There are many who don't pivot and answer questions directly. Bernie Sanders is one of them. I don't mind Pete, but I think it's funny how people act like there aren't other great options out there.
He has a couple. The first that comes to mind is "what I want the year where I am as old as Donald Trump is now to look like".
@@theminuteman6211 Another is the bit about Millennials providing most of the ground fodder in Iraq and Afghanistan, the bit about freedom to vs. freedom from at the end... really, he has a ton, he's just very good at judo-ing questions to pull up his talking points and weaving them in to his answers skillfully.
Nor does in insult or degrade others
Really smart, hopefully the next US President!

yah, bring it on... go dance on some towers like Beto while actual, policy oriented candidates have a word.
Bernie said that first
Amazing response to some hard questions from Bill
Agreed!
That;s my guy! What a great delivery. Very feisty. I think Bill sprinkled himself a bit....
He's going to be an amazing democratic candidate in 8 years
Jo won’t be able to stay for the full eight years..
I'm an atheist, but Mayor Pete absolutely crushed it on that last question. This guy is amazing!
Exactly, he smatched that last question, it just shows how deep and critical thinker he is, and I am not an atheist.
I can appreciate that you recognized his statement for what it's worth even as an atheist. Maher always acts condescending towards religion but if a person is a radical thinker, they're capable of acknowledging the potential for good in things that they don't personally believe in
Justin Peterson same
His answer highlights how he is mainly interested in religion for its political expedience: 9:52
Pete is actually an atheist who recognizes the political power of religion and wants to tap into it.
He is very talented at making those demographic calculations. However, he seems void of policy substance (he admits this; see the end of his Vice interview) which is concerning to me.
Don’t get fooled by his articulate language. Instead, focus on the concrete ways he aims to help others. So far I have heard very little on this.
Is it a coincidence that both people running in the primary with military backgrounds (Pete and Gabbard) were reservists and not AD? Almost sounds like another brilliant political calculation.
Again, nothing against this guy- he’s obviously very talented. It’s what I’m not hearing that concerns me.
I think his primary reason for running is that it’s always been his life goal (since he mentioned wanting to do this when he was in his early 20s). Not because he feels an obligation to help people. The latter should come first.
He’s possibly the most talented career politician we’ve ever seen. I’ll be patiently waiting to hear his policy positions.
Just my .02
@@songbird6248 Why would you say Buttigieg's an atheist? That doesn't really jive w/ many statements he's made. You think he's being disingenuous when he talks about his faith?
I feel ya on the point about him dodging any clear policies he plans to implement (reminds me a bit of Obama or any really good politician who's careful about making promises he/she can't or doesn't plan to keep). He did a good interview w/ Vox (perhaps you're referring to this one?) and talked about the greater importance (as he sees it) being in making changes to the structure of our political system since it is not representative of our views at large. Things like adding additional members to the supreme court that are appointed by UNANIMOUS approval by the other justices and abolishing the electoral college. I think these are great ideas and I really appreciate the focus on changing the system to become more reflective of the values of the majority. If that's done then the long list of reforms that many of us progressives have been chomping at the bit for (and are supported by a majority of the public) could finally be implemented and not suffer that fate of so many other good bills that die at the hands of the senatorial and congressional handmaiden's of the corporate world.
I agree that he's very talented and his service MAY have been a political calculation (the way high schoolers do volunteer work to show it off on their applications to colleges). Overall though, I think it's good to remain sharp and open to skepticism, but I personally haven't detected anything that would lead me to believe he's being disingenuous. Now, when the rubber meets the road, I think he'd lose much of his backbone if elected (as did Obama).
I haven't been as excited about Bernie this time around, but he does stand out still in the way that he does not seem to compromise his value based positions. I trust Bernie's backbone more so than any of the other candidates (save Marianne Williamson) to dig in his heels when necessary to not allow Republican obstructionism to alter his position and that it might even push him to more radical approaches (like declaring a National Emergency). Of course a National Emergency is not a good way to go about anything other than a true and present danger requiring immediate action, and this is why the procedural/systemic updates that Buttigieg talks about to go about fixing the system itself are really compelling. With a fixed system the will of the majority in cases such as medical care, minimum wage, taxes, etc... would be respected and delivered.
I like this guy. Eloquent. Intelligent. Pious. Continues to serve both his community and country. Most of all he seems refreshingly honest about returning the country to the American virtues that built this society.
And I think he's done a great job exemplifying that by leaving for two months with his husband to go on paternity leave.
Fake account. Superpacs like Pete. People don’t.
Freedom and caring for the poor are human value, not just your religious value.
He's good 👍, really good 👍.
Mayor Pete has a brain that he actually uses. So refreshing.
this is a joke right....?
yassssss, just like Michael Avenatti.
Nova L5 he also uses his mouth, hands and rectum
Yangs way better
I'm actually astonished. In a good way, for a change. To have this much poise, political respect AND be gay, you HAVE to be an intellectual badass. I'd vote for him ..
Being gay is not antithetical to any of the other qualities you mentioned.
George B. Wolffsohn I think he's just saying when you're gay and in politics, people will put you down all the time, and it would be easy to get discouraged because of that, so the fact that he's so poised and respected says a lot about him
Totally agree most of those gays just don't have his poise.
I am left, and love Warren. But I will support Buttigieg. Here's why.
46% of democrats are liberal, 54% are moderate. If we can get all the democratic votes, and the moderate conservatives too, we will not only win the White House, but the Senate too. Warren would win the presidency, but with a republican senate, her laws will never pass.
Bill was put in his place a bit here. Good interview, Pete seems to be a solid guy and I seriously hope he wins the Democratic nominee or Trump will be re-elected.
I usually am a bit more skeptical about politicians, but I like this dude a lot!!
Why? He's against Medicare-for-all. He came out against the green new deal.
Cool Daddy O ! Hope you like sucking up to illegals !..... Dude !
@@stevesanzari7294 As opposed to you. Someone who lives his life in fear of the unknown.
@@JonathanRootD Untrue. On both counts. He is very much in favor of the green new deal as a set of general goals and milestones. He also supports a government funded Medicare for All insurance alternative for anyone who wants it instead of private market insurance, because there really are some people who rabidly don't want good healthcare, and should be allowed to opt out.
@@stevesanzari7294 He's in favor of strong, sane, effective and compassionate immigration reform. It's amazing how both sides outright lie about him to support their agenda. Apparently the belief that needless cruelty is not necessary for strong immigration policy is too difficult to comprehend. Our country has gone as mad as the church has these days.
Hamilton was 32 when he helped draft The Federalist Papers. It's about intelligence and emotional maturity not age. I'm with Pete!
Yes, but Hamilton was a genius and Mayor Bootygood is just a standard issue Left Wing ideologue.
@@dstorm7752 yeah ok. You have this Harvard graduate who speaks 7 languages all figured out I'm sure.
Cleo. The late 1700s is a lot different than 2019. Don’t act like you know history then use it in such an idiotic way
*"It's about intelligence and emotional maturity not age"* it is also about proposing feasible solutions you should consider Andrew Yang
@grant macneil The terms left and right were also used in the United States at that time, and Hamilton was practically the definition of the right wing in his day.
No doubt he's got my vote. Thank you, Bill, for asking a question about faith (and not being to hard.) As an Atheist, his answer brought me to tears.
It’s funny I actually started being a Pete Fan after seeing him on Fox😂
It is funny actually. Because he is a joke of a candidate. Doesn't even talk about his plans for the country. Just about philosophy. He's all charisma and no substance
@@malditapeppas509 if your criteria is just being better than Trump than you could vote for almost anyone
@@malditapeppas509 practically every candidate has mentioned the electoral college. Yang wants the electoral college gone as well but he recognizes that it would require an amendment to the Constitution which is easier said than done. His approach to giving power to the people is much more achievable. He is for giving people 100 bucks that they could only donate to candidates. Which offsets the super pac money which gives candidates a fair shot and helps fight corruption. Also he is for rank choice voting that would help get a better poll of which candidates people favor.
@@malditapeppas509 Pete hasn't said anything that the other candidates haven't said. Except that he's gay. Which isnt a problem. Just saying thats the only unique thing
@@malditapeppas509 well we can just agree to disagree. Im personally not interested in just beating Trump. I'm more interested in voting for the best candidate. I don't think Pete offers anything of value. I also don't think Pete would win over many Trump supporters. Yang on the other hand has already pulled a lot of former Trump supporters over to his side. But thats just my two cents. Have a good day:)
Im happy Bill didn't go soft on Pete. A chance to see how Pete can withstand pressure. This was good!
He stayed aroused?
I think he has learned to relax and accept the pressure
Really? That was tough? T will have a ball!
Pete’s a weakling
@@billhamm1611 You're a fat slob.
I'm a Bill Maher fan, but boy did he come off harsh and arrogant. Mayor Pete was brilliant, tough but humble at the same time, eloquent and with a sense of humor. I love the guy!
@@akashrajaratnam8059 this Pete guy might actually be a solid neutral and bipartisan choice. Too bad the left never wants someone like that.
Agree. Maher was tough and judgmental, as if he had preconceived ideas about Mayor Pete. I thought Mayor Pete handled Maher really well given time constraints in the interview and the cynicism he was getting from Maher.
I agree not sure what the fuck this was.... I am a harsh critic of organized religion but I am all for individuals who use religion for themselves. His point that, faith only belongs to republicans or the right... he’s talking about reclaiming important aspects of the spiritual aspect of religion.
@@lavarbull9506 he's polling 3rd among democratic primary voters! Just behind Biden and Bernie, who both have much more name recognition. So it looks like primary voters agree with you!
@@northernsnowberry has Biden even officially declared yet? Lol
Wow I don't know how he answered that last question without digging himself into a hole but he actually did. VERY IMPRESSED!
Luis
He’s a real weasel isn’t he...
He’s bought out by Wall Street and big money. Don’t trust people like this.
The Right is obviously TERRIFIED.
norman duke
Not by Pete...
Gel Pen Shut up, stop spreading fake news. He’s not being bought by Wall Street. For God’s sake, he’s proposing to levy a 35% corporate tax rate. Is that evidence he’s bought out by Wall Street?
I love this guy. Looking forward to seeing what else he’s going to accomplish.
Mayor Pete Buttigieg is one smart cookie . We haven't seen anyone like him in a long time .
yo mama is one smart cookie
I like this guy
Yangang all the way. Pete's making Yang shines brighter.
Bill understood this man is a solid candidate, that’s why he asked these questions. Pete delivered 👌
😂😂😂 Solidly corrupt to the core.
Buttigieg is going to be a front-runner very very soon. Phenomenal human being. It's great to see someone embracing responsible leadership that brings out the best in all of us, rather than the road-rage cultural climate we're in now. Suddenly, I feel optimistic!
Hope he doesn't kill your baby ! Or take your car away ! Or make you bankrupt !
@@stevesanzari7294 Dont worry, he wont, and has even explained why your hysteria isn't needed. His specialty is in economics, and has turned a decaying city around, so he definitely wont bankrupt you. And he's from the midwest and actually favors expanding green vehicle infrastructure and green manufacturing from what I've gathered from his statements. So he actually wants you to have more cars for cheaper. And his spiritual beliefs mean that he won't support child murder, but it's a women's issue to decide where the lines of necessity diverge from the lines of convenience. It's not his place, and he knows it.
Me too. There's hope.
Steve Sanzari Bernie is the real deal and Pete is a pretender. Pete doesn’t have a specific policy platform, and he says that is because he wants to lead with our values but it’s really because he wants to run on inspirational platitudes and be all things to all people so he can eventually wriggle out of his faux progressive persona and govern just like Obama did: weakly.
@@nightonthesunband Pete is used to executive positions. Policy is easy for him. More important is understanding his constituents. So he's developing that anchor here in the early days of the campaign so his policy will reflect the true will of the voters.
A very wise decision and one politics requires far more of.
Damn....I like this guy! He represents everything our current Orange King isn't!! He's smart, compassionate, articulate, open to compromise and he's a patriot!! Democrats would be wise to take a serious look at his campaign and his candidacy for the President of the United States.
Haha! No. They're both going for soundbytes. No workable actions. Watch Andrew Yang. You'll forget these white guys instantly. You're welcome.
@@FilipinoHODL Already campaigning I see.
@@organicgrains Yep, cause he's the only sensible candidatess yet the left media is going all polical around him. Never mentioned in CNN, Bill Maher, etc.
@@FilipinoHODL welcome to MSM. Unfortunately the one thing that I think will bring a lot of republicans out against him is UBI. Beating the dead horse of "DEMS WANT HANDOUTS" is what they do best. I mean, TYT had him on back in November so he's reaching more people than you think, especially Xers and Millennials. Just needs more money basically.
But what does he actually want to do? Obama sold us on "hope and change" but all we got was water downed universal healthcare and pro-establishment policy that ultimately lead to Trump.
Hehe .. Mr. Maher gave a good interview. I like him 95% of the time but people like Mr. Buttigieg do a good job of showing that he's not the intellectual he thinks he is. But a great job interviewing! Solid stuff from both men.
Mayor Pete is the Man! #wintheEra
As an Indiana native and having worked in South Bend as an ER nurse for 3 years I can honestly say Mayor Pete is the real deal. Check out the true story about how he came into the hospital all on his own accord to translate Arabic to help the staff for a young pt who tried to hang himself. Good luck Mayor Pete! 👍🏼
Wow, that's amazing!
That's super awesome 👍 thanks for sharing!!
NICE INFO THATS A REAL MAN WHO DOESNT USE THE STORY OF A LIFE SAVING MOMENT TO FURTHER HIS CARRER
Wow! I live here & didnt know that. Yes please win Mayor Pete
@no bot 😀🤣😀 right?
Pete made Bill sound like a cranky old man

Bill is a cranky (and smug) old man.
Because Bill is a cranky old man.
