Pete Buttigieg

“ The zoning rules have to adapt to a shifting population. So we have to be able to build homes faster. Now, what you're seeing in a couple of Midwest cities, I think South Bend is the actual perfect example of this, where they're really thinking about people moving there and providing the least friction to building in South Bend. Because South Bend, under Pete Buttigieg, knocked down, I think was a thousand homes in a thousand days, something crazy like that. But what they do on their website, to get a building permits, they have about...”

“ Thanks so much. Thank you. Honor, any hour newsmaker line. That's James Johnson. He is the co-founder of J.L. Partners talking about the truth about the Democratic base. We'll see if that base comes out in the general election, which I think it probably will, Greg, for the midterms, and we'll see how these socialist, radical left candidates survive. If you take our guests word for it, and I do, I actually think he's right. How embarrassing for Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, who've been courting.”

“ What do you make of this Hasan Piker guy? He had a bit of a pep to his step coming into this election yesterday. He thought they were on a roll. He thought he fully assumed that Hung would win. She doesn't win. It looks like a setback for the socialists that seem to be the base of the Democrat Party. But he's got, he's being courted by the Pete Buttigieg's and the Gavin Newsom's and the Kamala Harris's. Is he still a relevant player after Wisconsin or is he a liability?”

“ Okay, yeah, there's like nitpicky debate, you know, figure skating judge quality to analyzing debates. But that's an easy call. Most people would be like, that's awful. Right. See, these are extreme examples. But the problem, it gets harder. Like, because we get to the presidential election, right? And so imagine you're down to at the end, I'm just picking these sort of randomly. Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.”

“ racially and gender coded. And there is just like there is, this was particularly true in 2020 where it's just, we filter the election through the mind of a white dude in Wisconsin and like, who do they want? And people, but you hear this in focus groups all the time. People project onto voters, they do not know biases. It's like Kamatharis did with Pete Buttigieg is the VP, where you say, well, he's a gay man. That's too much for America.”

“ Pete Buttigieg, Mr. Secretary, we can get rid of the electoral vote. You still won't get a single black voter in the United States. Zero. I don't know how you think you're going to win anything. But it's a real hatred that you have if you're pushing to get rid of the electoral college. It is real, real hate for smaller states. Let me say it differently. I find it offensive, Pete Buttigieg, that you hate minorities so much.”

“ So they get Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg to drop out, throw their support behind him. And I mean this literally my, I'm not to say friend, but my acquaintance, Congressman Jim Clyburn, who I know, he was my congressman down to South Carolina, throws the black community behind Biden, and that's that. So in 2024 rolls around, Joe Biden knows one thing. He don't want to go back to New Hampshire.”

“ Well, I don't know what you might threat. I mean, is she real potential presidential candidate? Can she win the Democratic nomination? The University of New Hampshire poll a few weeks, even though they're polling is largely bogus, had her at the top of the list. She was up there with Pete Buttigieg. So, yeah, absolutely. And, well, I mean, why not Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? I mean, why not?”

“ He beat about 30 other candidates. Now, all of those candidates, Kamala Harris was one, Pete Buttigieg was one, but they all pulled that party to the left. All of them were, you know, fighting for who is the most liberal. Back then we called a liberal. They tried to call themselves progressives. Now they say Democrat socialists. There's nothing Democrat about it. And really it's...”

“ press that a Marco Rubio is going to get or a Pete Hegseth is going to get or a Scott Bessent's going to get because, well, you're never going to get that as transportation secretary. But he's getting the headlines for all the right reasons as opposed to Pete Buttigieg who got headlines because, hey, let's give Pete Buttigieg a headline and pretend he's still a political contender.”
