    Insane that even with him claiming to be from a "left of the center" family, he still spouts american foreign policy talking points, just without complete and unrepentant approval of the same.

    Israel – Palestine – "Horrible situation, HAMAS to blame"
    9/11 – "Started in a cave in Afghanistan"

    Wild shit man, nothing ever caused anything, apart from something that caused an American backed extremely violent and overreaching response.

    Remember this guy stands for NOTHING, takes AIPAC money, and COLLUDED with Schumer and Pelosi to make sure Bernie loses. Took 3 months paternity leave because he apparently gave birth and was a single mom, while our ports backed up with ships and the country fell into chaos. Imagine if he had a real challenge in the countey???. Don't fall for this fake POS! I'll never forgive him. Bernie should have been our president not great grandpa who voted for Clarence Thomas AGAINST Anita Hill. This guy is a lying beeeeeeeotch.

    Wow, Andrew, what an amazing conversation you had with Pete. I’m used to Pete being informed and having thoughtful, nuanced answers, but you were at the same level as Pete.
    Truly enjoyed this. Two great minds. ❤

    God, Channel 5 News is incredible, I never would've thought I'd ever respect Hunter Biden and Pete Buttigieg since all I knew about them was from the 24 hour news cycle, but these deep dive extended dialogues really shown their intellectual side that really gets lost in the lamestream, keep up the great work, Andrew!

    to the staffers polling these comments to give pete a temp check, here’s being unambiguous: we will never vote for a democrat who accepts a cent from AIPAC or does anything but unequivocally condemns and blocks israel’s genocide on Gaza.

    We might end up in a situation like with organic foods. Some people will pay a premium for human made products with human employees but the masses will consume the cheap, convenient AI slop

    Stop talking about explaining it and explain it then. The Dem party doesn't need to "start listening", they need to start speaking. Challenging the propaganda with action. Stop telling us that you're different and show us!

    I’m not sure I understand the need for this interview. He tells on himself at 14:40. No moral compass. No spine at all. He is nothing more than one of the most articulate and soft-handed apologists for the DNC. He was a rat and a foil for progress in 2020 and he hasn’t changed at all. Fuck Mayor Pete
