Bridges, broadband and babies: Inside Pete Buttigieg's first year in Washington

- Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is one of the most visible and compelling members of the Biden administration.
After his confirmation last year, Buttigieg became the first openly gay, Senate-confirmed Cabinet secretary in U.S. history, the youngest member of Biden's Cabinet, and the youngest person to ever serve as transportation secretary. In that role, he championed the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the $1.2 trillion law that will make major investments throughout the country on roads, bridges, railways, and broadband, the most significant bipartisan bill to pass this Congress.
Buttigieg was previously the Mayor of South Bend, IN and has spent a lot of time in Chicago. He is a former member of the U.S. Navy Reserve who was deployed to Afghanistan. He and his husband Chasten adopted fraternal twins in September. His political path, which included a notably strong performance in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, was the subject of a documentary released in November.
Join us as the IOP hosts Secretary Buttigieg for a student-led discussion about politics, government, service, and family.
Eight years of this extremely intelligent, thoughtful man in the White House will most definitely benefit our country in many, many ways!
Pete is an amazing speaker. He is enthusiastic, genuine and speaks from deep inside his beliefs directly without hesitation. 🥰
I so enjoyed this discussion. Thanks for posting. Whenever I get the opportunity to hear Pete, I am reminded of why I supported his run for the presidency and HOPE he will run again. He has my vote if and/or when he runs. Go Pete! 2024!
Please run... You'll remind Americans how you've failed.
@@christinehenry4491 Your silly he didn't fail your here listening to him and he continues to make a difference in lives of all Americans. That said abilities compared the failure to make a postive differance may be your own?
So good, helpful and sustaining to hear Pete speak. Great event.
Thanks for keeping it going, Pete. Like you said "...the rest is up to us".
As usual...informative, intelligent.
I'll always support this man.
Yes! Me too!
This man is a joke. Supply chain is broken, baby formula in some states at 90% GONE. Go home! You failed a state as mayor, now a country with transportation?
Thanks IOP for making this available!
I really enjoy listening to him in long form interviews.
I enjoyed his speech at the tea party rally. It really brings clarity. Some people will say anything.
@@timtebone1843 Can smell the salt in thay pathetic reply. 😆 🤣 😂
I agree. This is where Buttigieg shines. On the stump, he's so so. Debates are ok too. But these types of interviews, where he can be quiet and reflective, he rivals Bill Clinton.
A great job, Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s. You are a great communicator, I enjoyed the interview.
Always impressed by Pete's ability to communicate
23:31 - 26:07 is the most sophisticated, and simple, explanation of what is happening in the Florida midterm elections I have seen anyone give period and the dude doesn't even live here. Pete, we are going to need you in 2024. It's abundantly clear to any and all paying attention you're more than ready to meet whatever challenge the republicans throw out there; it's also the reason rnc pulled out of the debates.
Pete really has an intuitive understanding of how to break down complexity. It's always a treat to listen to him in these longer interviews.
Completely agree with the sentiment but make no mistake: this isn't just about Florida. It's happening all over the country. Need to show up and vote. Everywhere.
Oh please he is projecting to the gop what the dnc is doing. What a giant freaking liar, when he talks about the gop he is projecting, everything he says applies to the dnc " they dont know what to do about the gas prices" , america was energy independent under trump you bufoon, your party started changing that. "They want to raise taxes on the poor" no republicans cut taxes it is you who want to raise taxes you have raised taxes. "They dont say gay bill" thats not what it call and thats not what it does stop lying. "They prey on weak people" you literally grooming our kids, you are preying on the weak. What a giant liar.
@@u.s.navy_pete4111 he is lying out of his gay ass.
@@JaySuds312 make no mistake says the bufoon, even though the dems have been playing culture war politics for decades.
OMG! Loved that description about Pete's fatherhood. Cried when he talked about LGBTQ and Women's rights. Felt so inspired when he talked about how one never knows where and how one can make a contribution and that they all matter. PETE!
I love how he is inclusive. All matter. In times like this, it's wonderful to take in a fresh breath of Pete positivity. Pete's rules of the road!
@@paulabaird9349 We are totally in synch here. Pete just makes everything better.
He works hard and I bet he educates himself every single day to be on top of everything and the responsibility he has as a secretary of Transportation. He’s a highly intelligent politician.
He's acing the job and loving it too. He is everywhere all the time.
What an amazing opportunity for students to hear Sec. Buttigieg speak on such a wide range of topics. Always a pleasure listening to his thoughtful insights.
I have so much respect for Pete Buttigieg please make him your President .
From down under
From the UK, agree with you.
Great questions by an awesome panel. Future leaders of America! University of Chicago must be proud.
This was great!
Very smart man I wish he was President you go get them Pete
Just listened to this while on a ferry. So engaging.
57:52 - "If you can deliver more shareholder value by making the world a worse place, and you're not breaking any laws, you have a fiduciary obligation to try to do it." Facebook, anyone?
Pete is a voice for every person who wants freedom for all.
God bless you Secretary Buttigieg. Your intelligence, compassion & logical comments are so uplifting and hopeful. I wish the whole world would stop & listen. To me, you are the promise and answer to a more perfect union.
Thank you; inspire action, 'women have to lead the fight in women's right to choose', amongst other rights e.g LGBTQ and climate change. Gentrification from climate change, transportation infrastructure bill for clean and smart energy in order to meet net zero and lower the heat index to 1.5 . There's just too much to unpack but then we are the ones to lead the fight. Thank you all for an Excellent panel and conversation.
Really powerful moment at 18:15!
meh..
Though I support your notion, power-ful wouldn’t be what I would call that index because “weak women and womanish men” and “positive but ineffective” and so on.. (26:26- 27:07, Republic 344c-345a) because “Now what?” (1:08:00)
As Richard Epstein replied to his very junior and former student, Mitchell:
“Jonathan always puts the fear of God in me because GOD forbid he should be right on this particular question.”
Again, what is hetton triumphs over kreitton when strength is already so obvious (25:30)?
The surprising fact, 56:00, is observed;..
@@jerryrhee7748 what did you mean by that “weak women and womanish men” line?
@@TheFreshTrumpet
It isn’t a new concept, as illustrated in depth in “Do We Need Ethical Principles?” Richard Rorty (1994), but there is a lot of neglected forgetting associated with it.
That is, how many times must you be convinced that
“persons should not be construed to include women because it had never been so construed in the past” (at 40.12),
or that it is only Plato and Mill among the great formulators of ethical principles, who have written on the matter (37.20).
I mean, Everybody knows that, already. And everybody knows everybody knows that, already.
Even Rorty knew this.. and he knew this way back in 1994,
Which illustrates the impotence, or weakness, of being behind and not ahead with ethical principle. 45.48
__
btw, Rorty is famously unknown for his shenanigans, which consist in speaking clearly on both sides of the issue at the same time.
That is, “for it seemed obvious to me, as it had to Socrates, that one cannot lie knowingly unless one knows the truth”.. already. So you just have to know where he's telling the truth
@@jerryrhee7748 I mean no disrespect, but it’s still not clear to me what you mean here. You’re making a lot of vague implications that are difficult for me to infer what you mean bc I’m very unfamiliar with whatever you’re talking about. And I don’t wanna make assumptions about what you’re trying to get across. Not tryna be snarky
@@TheFreshTrumpet
I speak on nothing you don’t already know or for which you don’t already have intuition.
As reminder, then, and in order to leave you with direction before digging into the genealogy (cf Rhetoric 1402a),
I recommend starting out by treating the concept as a phenomenon:
“We are confronted with the oddity of a hetton, or weaker, logos
which even in the moment of its triumph remains identifiably, hetton.
Conversely, we must assume, the kreitton, or stronger, even in defeat, cannot be called hetton.”
There are more percepts than this in it, of course,
but this way of looking also works well for other deliberated constructions
like “categorical imperative”, “practical maxim in the indicative mood” and “common touch”.
As to what Aristotle said about
what “making the worse appear the better argument” means,
or even the superposed notion of “must declare the causes”,
I hope you find a more appropriate place than this for such serious discussion.
Buttigieg for president… please God.
Hell yeah! Please!
Yes, please God, buttigieg for president 2024.. and I live on the opposite side of the world! New Zealand.. Just imagine the beneficial effect on the whole world having someone of Pete’s calibre in the White House..
i cant wait to see him destroyed by the next majorie taylor green.
@@indaadams9912 your country banned free speech guns and converted to islam because some foreigner killed a bunch of people. No country should every by like new zealand.
Pete was my first choice for President in 2020, and he will be my first choice whenever he decides to run for President again!
It’s 2024: get Peter on the ticket and into the White House!
I wonder if he’s ever left the city

@@jean-pierrefortin5847 Oh, okay. I see. Thank you for clarifying.
@@angelhocog2014 I am glad he speaks his thoughts and he shouldn't feel badly if another person needs clarification. It's not him. It's just something that can happen when people don't speak the same language. Even with two people who speak the same language miscommunication happens. Thanks for your comment, Angela. Jean-Pierre shouldn't feel the need to apologize. Nothing to apologize for.
❤pete
I like him
There are dozens of Pete Buttigieg videos on You Tube. I have to believe that he also appears on literally every social media and news media platform…. Everyone in America, virtually, now knows him. He should be on the presidential ticket this year, AND he should be elected to the highest office. America: find the way. It’s time to move forward.
I LOVE him!
As the transportation czar, is Pete Buttigieg doing anything about the baby formula shortage and transportation shortage?
The United States secretary of transportation is a cabinet-level position responsible for maintaining and improving the country's transportation system. The approval of what does or doesn't go into baby formula is the FDA. Private companies, not the government makes baby formula. How baby formula is transported is not the cause of the shortage. The department of transportation doesn't produce transportation - cars, buses, trains, planes, etc. It creates the system on which the private manufacturing of transportation vehicles will use., private, city, state, and federal funds build systems on which to travel. For example the street I live on is built with private funds provided by the HOA. State highways are funded by state funds; interstates are funded with federal funds. Anyone out there please correct me if I'm wrong. The 1.2 trillion dollar package is intended to provide federal dollars to improve infrastructure with attention to the overall quality and equality of life in the local communities.
@@paulabaird9349 The transportation issue is base on the office privy on the cabinet level decision. That is the control of Secretary of Transportation of the US, Pete Buttigieg. His office is responsible for all life line transportation needs of the country. That is why all the main stream media is calling him out on the luck of action in the supply chain distribution and the reductions of the policies that is causing the country's stagnation. So, you can blame Pete Buttigieg.
@@paulabaird9349 100%. It's funny that some people believe the Department of Transportation has anything to do with food safety standards!
@@paulabaird9349 AMEN, they just want to blame Pete for everything that goes wrong because they have a grudge against Pete.
Um, he does the roads... not the things transported on the roads... read a book.
Never miss an opportunity to bring up race or sexuality.
So true. I gave up on him some months ago when he spoke abt how the Interstate Highway System (for Gods sake) was racist when built. Somebody had stated that it was; he nods & smiles as if its a known fact.
There were a TON of reasons why it was built; NONE having a damn thing to do with racism. The system was built primarily for National Defense, hence the name. It was and is a HUGE asset to this country in every way.
His thinking stemmed from a bit of truth in the respect that many spurs thru and near downtowns were built thru inner cities. I'll give him 2% on that I guess. Maybe. But it had 98% to do with population, traffic patterns, terrain, elevations, rivers,etc. And even on the 2%, many if not most folks in inner cities ended up with better & safer housing, better schools, and overall better lives. Stick to REAL facts Pete...
If men can get pregnant, why did the Knob Goblin adopt?
where did this video mention men getting pregnant? i missed that
Excellent speaker. Couldn’t be more dishonest at nearly every turn. Stunning commitment to lying about his opponents. Wow.
Shame on you little bot. What country are you referring to? Russia?
Where did he lie? Give an example
Not Pete! Pete is HONEST.
