Pete Buttigieg Vice Presidential Stunner - 'I'm Very Flattered'

Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Okay, but how does Vice President Pete Buttigieg sound to you? Before we get started please make sure you like

comment, share, and subscribe. Those little things really help us out and they help

our channel continue to grow. You know it's hard to imagine somebody actually

doing a worse job as Transportation Secretary than Pete Buttigieg has done

Ask the people of East Palestine, Ohio. Ask, gosh, a lot of people in a lot of

places. Ask the people who kept getting stranded on airline flights and had

delay after delay after delay during his tenure. Now of course not being fantastic

at your job is not a reason to get dismissed from your job in the Biden

administration. I don't believe they ever actually fire anyone. In fact they

weren't even gonna fire the Secret Service director. She had to resign. Well

now there's talk, and Pete Buttigieg has responded to it, of him being named

Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate. Hit her her vice presidential pick

for the 2024 presidential election. This would be a very interesting ticket. This

would be, I think somebody called it woke squared, right? Get your first female of

color campaigning for president and her running mate is a homosexual white male

This could either be a dream ticket for the Democrats or a nightmare ticket for

the Democrats. Look we have to be honest. Is this something the American people

would elect? Nobody wants to talk about that. Nobody wants to say hey look people

have some prejudices. I disagree with those prejudices. I don't think that's a

reason to not vote for somebody. I think a reason to not vote for somebody is their policies are actually terrible and I can't think of two more

progressive people than Harris and Buttigieg to the point where I think

they're quasi communists. So yeah I think they would be tragic for this nation

and that has nothing to do with their identities. But I think that people, we

have to be honest about human nature, would have issues. Some people, not all

people, but some people. Some people they need to get would have issues with it

That's a shame but it might be a reason to not pick that ticket if you're Harris

I kind of think she is gonna pick Buttigieg. That is my, that's my belief

I don't know. Listen I thought Trump was gonna pick Tim Scott so you know don't

go placing bets on what I'm telling you. But I want you to hear what Mr

Buttigieg has to say about it and then let me know what you think in the comments. President Kamala Harris is more liberal than he is. Now tomorrow marks

just 100 days until election day in November. 100 days. And the vice

president's campaign announced a major nationwide push for this weekend. Holding more than 2,000 events in battleground states and mobilizing a hundred and

seventy thousand new volunteers. Let's now bring in Pete Buttigieg. He is

joining us this morning in his personal capacity and not speaking on behalf of

the Biden administration. Mayor Pete good to see you. You have been bandied about

as a possible running mate choice for Vice President Harris. So have you been

contacted by the campaign and would you be interested in serving in that role? Okay I think anybody would be flattered to be mentioned in that context. I

certainly am. There's really not much more that I can or should say about that

process other than that she's going to make that decision and she knows what

she's doing. What I know is that I'm really excited in whatever capacity to

be part of this campaign and I'm one of millions of Democrats who are clearly

energized and fired up. There's just a new energy and it's been extraordinary

to me how quickly she has gathered the party around her with a sense of mission

a clear message, just in a matter of days. And of course I'm thrilled to be part of

that. It seems as if that sense of mission and enthusiasm has rattled

Republicans at least for the moment
