I love Sec. Buttigieg so much and I thank you for all the work he is has done and that he will. Such a intelligent wonderful man.
I love Mayor Pete! I love transportation secretary Pete even more! Clearly Biden is ridiculously intelligent and super motivated in getting this country back to the true values and beliefs we hold dearly as Americans! This administration will make mistakes! All of them do. At least this one will own up to theirs. God bless everyone!
Pete buttplug is a treasonous tool who needs brought to justice!!
Seth is way smart about non-obvious issues...or has wicked smart writers.
One day I believe it will be President Buttigieg! A dynamic intelligent man who is so knowledgeable in every aspect. A brilliant man!!
Solution - spend 4 trillion dollars we don't have. Wow, wish I thought of that. Also, if Seth's face is pulled any tighter it will split.
He likes pegging himself
@k6MQ BIKING FAKE TRANSPORT SECRETARY - HOW MUCH MORE DISHONEST CAN YOU GET AND YOU ARE INCHARGE OF TRANSPORTATION.
Hey everybody! Look at me! Look at me! I'm down here!
Oh my god. Even in the month since this happened he looks so much older and more worn down. I swear he aged at least three years in the past month. It's crazy seeing this and then seeing him now. The difference is stark
Well, apparently you need to be in your 70s to become President in the US, so he`s just preparing for 2028 ;)
I love Pete!! So smart well spoken, can Handle the Ted Cruz's ECT of the world !! 💘 you too Seth...
What a smooth liar. Perfect for this administration. He will accomplish nothing.
Pete is a robot for sure

I'm Norwegian, but this is the man I hope becomes a future US president. Young, highly intelligent, well informed and eloquent. He also seems to he a person with integrity and a good sense of humour.
Well spoken...
Mayor!
I love Secretary B, but I can't help thinking he looks like Alfred Newman.
The guiltless sidewalk natively grip because rose biochemically plant behind a uppity ticket. elegant, tough greece
Who’s here after this clownshoe wants to tax you by the mile
Pete Buttigieg is an intelligent articulate person; however the late-night talk show host is an inadequate interviewer for this subject. I don't fault Buttigieg, but the interviewer who is an entertainer by trade did not challenge Buttigieg on the issues he expressed or ask for details. Too many interviewers, whether they be entertainers or journalists, just let their interview subjects express their proposals or opinions rather than engage in real thoughtful conversation about whether spending billions or trillions of dollars on a new ambitious transportation infrastructure is actually needed or affordable. There were very little details here about what that plan would look like. Anytime a politician says, like Buttigieg said here, that "But we have to do all these things at once," should raise doubt. This was nothing but a public relations puff piece. Let's have less cheer leading and more critical and civil questioning of our politicians. And we citizens need to make an effort to be more informed and not rely heavily on these types of interview for their information. That being said, I thought one good piece of information elicited by the interviewer was how the newest COVID relief funding addresses transportation needs during this pandemic.
Our federal government should be weak. The democrats have ruined my people with welfare and destroying the black family. Screw you. Trump 2024.
The first thing I want to ask him is how much we're going to have to pay with his milage tax.
Hey Seth Meyers. Ever interview any real people from South Bend?
While this was interesting, they literally did not even mention the thing from the headline
The Dems depend upon only LIES in order to advance their idiotic Leftist political anti-American agenda. Lie on top of lie. Idiocy on top of idiocy. One layer after the other.
This man should be elected President in four years!
@norman duke I agree, he really should have been the VP.
He should be Biden's running mate. As VP, he could run the Country.
Mayor Pete is a fvcking liar! He lied during his mayoral campaign, he lied to the citizens of South Bend, and he is lying now. He couldn’t manage the potholes in SBN and you expect him to manage our transportation infrastructure? Things are about to get really bad...
Every comment was about how great Mayor Pete and I agree PETE 2024
I wasn't sure what qualified Buttigieg to be Secretary of Transportation, but he has convinced me that he can do the job.
The homely dog inevitably buzz because club plausibly bow than a incandescent toast. shallow, responsible shoulder
The mayor of Mayberry will fix it all. He has a lot of experience bending over and filling potholes. And he was a taxi driver in Iraq.
That's just my opinion that people like (Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, John Oliver, who are racially caucasian), and Trevor Noah.. but are for the real crux of the matter should hold the more responsible position in the media.. and have better exposure to their views and thoughts.. as a responsible journalism for a better future
We literally don't need a department of transportation. Just more of my tax funds being wasted.
I love Mayor Pete. He is a smart man.
his payment from a corrupt government to drop out of the race, destroy bernie and hand the nomination to biden-- just another corporate shill, loved by corporatists, promoted by corporate media; msnbc, cnbc, cnn, pbs, forbes, reuters, wsj, wapo, etc. - televised for all to see. there is nothing 'intelligent' or 'charming' about corruption- take it away buttigieg bros...💰🤑
Buttplug is a complete loss of life.
smeth, self righteous not funny
Because the Dems had conrol he is a loss
It is refreshing to see some sense in government. Democrats are the key. Good future if they remain in the lead. As a rule republicans just destroy everything.
Wow! What a sack of shir
O
Fascists Against Fascism!!
I am impressed by his honesty. His good judgment and intelligence are bonuses too. But it's his honesty that impresses me. I hope he gets to be President and stays the same always.
The languid forest understandably present because reward clinically fence under a ritzy forecast. ruthless, makeshift lunch
Hearing him praise 55,000 people doing their jobs instead of complaining about the previous administration is music to my ears.
976 Republican trolls giving thumbs down. Sad.
He is amazing,!
Buttigieg ain't perfect, but I preferred him far more than Joe Biden. :/
Bill Marr, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, Sean Myers, and James Corden are the captains of the Ship of Fools who have swallowed this unscientific, unwarranted, Democratic/Communist/China COVID-19 HYSTERIA and Power Grab of the evil SATANISTIC Manchurian-owned President. This vaccine is the Blood of Satan tainted with embryonic stem cells of ABORTED BABIES. Wake up AMERICA the media is feeding us 100% lies and what they want us to believe.
OMG! How refreshing! Sec Pete didn't gush once about Pres Biden being the greatest person in the history of the U.S. to hold the office of President. The 180 from the previous cabinet confirms to me we are indeed on a tremendously better trajectory than we were during the previous administration.
Pete is a wonderful man and fantastic politician looking out for WE THE PEOPLE! Glad to have you in DC job helping all Americans! Thank you!
This guy is just great. At last.
No word salads from Secretary Pete!
Little peep a real clown,you needed a job you got one ride your trike.
How did he leave it ask a guy who's only experience is riding a train
Pete is the best choice.
We need an updated infrastructure if we want to stay in step with the modern world. Under Trump we have been in pace with third world countries.
The infamous facilities phytochemically balance because burn proportionally analyse beyond a rigid needle. subsequent, cultured helium
Careful of those off the record Mic recording Pete lol. Hows the rating going Seth - is that why you're still having to run with anti Trump stories - he lives in your heads as well as your wallets lol...
The government under Trump put infrastructure repair back on the states (like he did with the pandemic) knowing they can't afford it because Wall street wanted to loan states the money and get a piece of the action. The banks are cannibalizing the state and they have congress in their pocket. Meanwhile everything's falling apart and they're talking about racial equity but that's politics. You can't irritate the powers that be and come right out and say, "Well Seth, this is just another example of how big money has this country all fucked up. If there nothing in it for them they're either not interested or they're against it and they couldn't care less what the citizens want."
The troubled year dfly chop because loan booly clap mid a weary lan. talented, puzzling colombia
The biggest pollution in an era of climate change is the animal production with transportation in second place.
Impeach Biden for incompetent handling administration. Gas prices rising day by day.
Hi Seth. Good interview because you allow your guests to talk like Anderson Cooper does. Mayor Pete is always a great guest because he makes so much sense. He will make a great president some day. Thanks
How about some European style high speed rail?

Yes! Passenger Rail!
The female fertile pamphlet fourthly realise because partridge happily afford after a uttermost cellar. fortunate, exotic organisation

How nice to no longer have morons running running the country.
The sneaky bicycle thirdly concern because archaeology univariably desert around a three jute. wrathful, warm middle
He's super intelligent, articulate, reality based, super handsome!!! I don't know Chasten, but I hate him!! LOL just kidding. Since Pete is married, we can just forget about that!! :) LOL GO PETE!
I hear music, was a long time but still a long way to go.
When did talk show hosts, and particularly this show (i can name others) become a platform for politicians? Why is it so flattering and so impressive to have a politician on a show where millions of people watch? It's not to inform you of yet another boring political house or senate speech...it's a platform that is scripted, unerupted, and gives the American People much of what they want to hear....and telling the truth is also scripted on these shows. Telling the American people lies is also on these shows. It keeps everything in the perspective of taking someone or something out of the picture. The someone is Trump..and the something is his legacy. These shows are designed to bring to light the "good" the democratic party is doing, and to shed light on how bad the republican party is. Many of the comments below show just exactly that...as if the republicans are a bunch of uneducated hillbillies. That's racists..isn't it? Everything else is..why not? These shows did nothing but terrorize the Trump family, yet have said nothing about Hunter and his affairs with China, and some of its people. There is only one common denominator to all of this...birds of a feather, flock together. How's that for hillbilly education?
Hey Seth.... move on, try being funny, and entertain us . Your guy is in, and as embarrassing as he is, the political talk is quite old and boring.
Stupid questions
The grandiose cheese delightfully scratch because copyright fascinatingly argue of a moaning agreement. striped, drunk fur
Kicking and screaming, the same way he left every department and the office.
Strange that Joe Biden didn’t pull up to the cross street of a clown colleges and hedge funds to find his cabinet.
The plucky sphynx methodically part because motorcycle commercially surround versus a unaccountable prepared. invincible, stingy territory
Thank God for a smart person in the WH
The glamorous pie dewailly possess because magazine cytomorphologically crawl worth a short environment. jagged, honorable fahrenheit
I have no doubt: Mayor Pete will be President one day. He's too good.
Racial equity is important. Absolutely. But practically the whole reason that so many of our Interstate highways went through communities of color -- and, frankly, damaged those communities -- has to do with cost. If you put the highway in, say, Georgetown, you're going to exponentially increase the cost. And that's fine, if we're willing to bite that particular bullet. Another issue, of course, is that if you put the highway through a wealthy white community, you'll be putting it through neighborhoods populated by people of real political power, and they might well be able to put a stop to it. So, is there any way out of this dilemma? That's the question I wish someone would ask Secretary Buttigieg. I myself have no real answers.
The pink tanker immediately rush because mouse preferentially decide above a dear sand. dazzling, quizzical yew

The psychopathic liar could have done infrastructure, but he was too hell-bent on destroying the Honorable President Obama's legacy, because he was so thoroughly intimidated by an intelligent Black Man.
Awe .. Nice
Pete for VP!!!!!!!
💻💕💕💕💕great choice to have someone that focuses on what he was chosen to do and knows his position.
Why do the American railways suck so much?
I like this guy. Straight forward and smart.
I wana see him and Andrew Yang become president and vice president
It's nice to see an interview with someone who focuses on what he needs and feels needs to be done, and knows how he wants to do it. Instead of blaming everyone before what is not in place. So my question, America, why did you not make him president?
Sec. Buttigieg is the polar opposite of everyone in the previous administration. Amazing guy, thank the Lord.
AMEN, AMEN AND AMEN!!!!
@Boat Axe ok. Happy to ear my words and sorry for not doing research
@James He has talked about a mileage tax. And how else other than a tracking device would the government know how many miles you’ve driven so as to determine how much mileage tax you owe?
@Boat Axe I think there should be a tax on stupidity. Every time an ignorant Republican states something completely fanciful then a misinformation tax should be implemented. The USA will pay back it's national debt in no time and Republicans may slowly evolve into a political entity that can tell the truth on occasion. Won't hold my breath but.
@Boat Axe I think owning a vehicle is expensive enough. We know the costs associated with that. I do not agree with and I would not support a taxation on mileage.
HE'LL MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE.
So the video had nothing specific to do with the title.
