  1. Corrupted fake

  2. Is this the guy who spent 7bilions for 3 car charging stations ?!

  3. Buttwedge lies about everything he talks about. What a dud.

  4. This is the SECOND assassination attempt on Trump by the Democrats. This WEAPONIZED ADMINISTRATION and MEDIA need to STOP with the LIES and DISINFORMATION. You have a responsibility to do your job. You LIE and TWIST EVERYTHING you report on. Have some pride and be a journalist instead of bought and paid for SCUM.

  5. LEFTIST SOCIALIST TO BLAME FORVASSINATION ATTEMP ! MEDIA IS TOO BLAME TOO !

  6. Kamala has had changes on her position of some issues because she's had the benefit of having been vice president. That's called gaining wisdom.

  7. Yes. Ask Democrats about serious policy. Ask Republicans about fictional stories about eating cats and dogs. Yes, that is journalism at its best….in case you are really stupid, that statement is sarcasm.

  8. This is another incompetent person in Biden/ Kamala administration. Two crises and media could not find him.

  9. How insulting to introduce the Transportation Secretary of the USA as "the former Democratic presidential candidate"! She is so biased that no informed person would take her seriously.

  10. Yet another reporter who limits herself to spreading false perceptions as indicated by polls. Why didn't she add the FACT that the Biden economy is much stronger than the Trump economy? Why say instead that "Trump beats Harris on the economy", which is demonstrably false? This is how the MSM are actively reinforcing fake news, over and over again.

  11. NBC has ignored Trump’s flip flops for ten years.

  12. Why hasn’t Just Disgraceful Vance used his power as a Senator to prevent this “disaster” from happening!

  13. Trump wants to be president…. Harris needs it .. there's a difference

  14. What a noisy Playmobil…

  15. Old news already …

  16. Just be honest like Bernie. She’s doing this to get votes. Remember her values haven’t changed

  17. Problem: Boeing quality issues in manufacturing; Candidate 1: I will start from every corner leading to the final products including but not limiting to engineering designs; manufacturing instructions; inspections; job controls; worker skills; training; tracing; monitoring. Candidate 2: I am the only who know how to fix them. I won't tell you how or what but believe me. It will be beautiful. So beautiful that nobody have been seeing it before. NBC: Candidate 2, o.k., you seems quality; Candidate 1, can you tell us more in detail?

  18. The title of this interview is ridiculous! Flip-flops? We expect and need our elected officials to evolve their policies as new information becomes available – that is the hallmark of a good leader.

  19. Correct Title: Pete Buttigieg on Kamala Harris’ policy change or just Pete Buttigieg on Kamala Harris’ policy about …

  20. Love Pete !! Tells it like it is 🇺🇸💙👏🏻

  21. But it's fine for trump to say nothing on policy .. double standard. I miss Tim Russert..

  22. Really? This is silly. She’s articulated a lot of policy. If the reporter were able to be a reporter. But sadly, asking a faux tuff question is the stand in for the work of understanding the context and reality behind the question. As Pete said, you can go on her website.

  23. Pete Buttigieg is good communicator & speaker. His words make sense.

  24. “Flip flops” is a bogus phrase. As circumstances change, Vice President Harris changed.

  25. Yall are getting tired. The dems are trash

  26. The only bill Trump passed on the economy was tax cuts for the rich that added 4 trillion to our debt. He coasted off the economy that Obama fixed from when Bush was in office. Then in 2020 instead of telling the American people about Covid he kept quiet about it for a month or so never came up with a plan and left it up to 50 governors which just created more chaos which resulted in the highest unemployment rate in modern history. He is the one who caused the inflation with the 8 trillion he added to the economy, it takes around 12 to 18 months of government overspending for inflation to hit the economy. SO even if he won in 2020 the inflation would have still been as bad or maybe worst because at least Biden had a plan to reduce it and Trump has no clue how to fix anything.

  27. I didn't realise that if you ever held one policy position you were committed to it for life, even when new information or perspectives came to hand… oh well I guess we know what the rules are at least…😅😅😅

  28. Aside from the non sense headline. Biden did remove some of the tariffs, he kept those in place that protect the green energy economy and added subsidies so the costs wouldn't be higher. Specific targeted tariffs for crucial emerging industries offset by subsidies can work. Trumps are indiscriminate and across the board which is automatic inflation. This is extreme grading on a curve, have they ever gone this deep on policy minutiae with the repubs? Lol.

  29. Trump lies and flip flops all the time, but a different standard for Harris by Corporate Media ???

  30. "tRuMp hAd a bEtTEr eCoNOmY" the same guy who filed for bankruptcy 6 times? the same guy who BANKRUPTED A CASINO?? that guy???

  31. Fracking is BAD. The fact that oil companies want it just means Kamala has to allow it, or get ripped by the oil industry.
    Trump's economics are as horrible as you could make them, and against the average working and non-working people. I can't imagine a worse economic plan than to remove the taxes from the Billionaires, and tax everyone else more.
    NBC doesn't seem to have the right balance between Left and Right to paint a picture accurately.

  32. Sick clown im voting for Trump

  33. Is Buttigieg angling for a position in Harris. Administration? I think he is.

  34. Ask him a question and he’ll give you an intelligent answer. It seems to not fit in with her agenda.

  35. As we grow, observe n learn life we may change mindsets, that's normal, it's called living !

  36. Everything I've read said the FBI hasn't identified where these alleged bomb threats came from. Would we really put it past some of these radical dem TDS activists to call in fake bomb threats just as a distraction and try to make Trump look bad? I mean why not? They literally concocted the entire fake russia collusion nonsense including the fake dossier. They lied and pretended the Hunter Biden laptop wasn't real. They continue to push the Charlettesville lie. Does it really seem that far-fetched?

  37. I like how the media is so stupid that they don’t even know what a flip-flop is… It is when someone changes their opinion then that opinion flops back to the old opinion. Meaning, the opinion flips… Then it flops back

  38. Your statement is not complete to Mr. Buttigieg. You left out that they were asked to come to Springfield to help save the life of the city. So, it is not like the Biden administration just dumped the people in this city.
    And the VP does not have the ability to create legislation and put it into action the president is the one with the power in the White House Harris works with the president not over the president.

  39. Ever notice how none of these millions of illegals ever end up in the neighborhoods of the politicians who allowed or enabled it? Like ever. Exhibit A: Martha's Vineyard 50 Venezuelans incident. They were literally removed within 36 hrs. Lol

  40. "Some of it connected to immigration" lol😂 how does Petey look at himself in the mirror after saying that?

  41. Well that was a biased interview. Clear agenda to paint Harris as “flipfloppy” when it’s actually flexibility and willing to change policy based on what is needed. She’s been very transparent about that.

  42. No the voters don’t “have lots of questions” towards Harris policies. It’s a myth you made up. I’m writing a letter to NBC. I’m just so tired of the bias towards our future president. It’s journalistic incompetence and bias to not address Trump’s record. He does not do better on the economy, that’s a lie she just stated. Look at polls.

  43. Hmm, his title is Secretary of Transportation. Interesting spin NBC.

  44. As a general principle, yes, changing our approach in response to changing situations is a healthy life skill.

    But I'm not completely buying that that accounts for Harris' flip-flops. She's a professional politician who says what she thinks will get her votes. Then when she gets in she'll do more or less whatever she wants.

    And no, I won't be voting for Trump. He's a con man who won't do anything to help anyone but himself.

  45. Not sure why this host was not fired for the fiasco interview of Trump few months back. I really don’t understand why we allow NBC to undermine and always question our own Democratic candidates every day. Frankly, I don’t see a big difference between FOX and NBC as far as always focusing on Harris and not on Trump who is completely falling apart in all aspects and will only get worse. Pete knows of the bias towards Harris.

  46. Donald flip flops on abortion three times in one week. You want to talk about flip flops?
