00:00Get that I'm the young guy in the conversation, but I would say experience is what qualifies me to have a seat at this table

00:30I'm the only one who's been on Fox so far because there are so many viewers who may never hear what our party has to say

00:36at all

00:47My father emigrated to this country because he knew it was the best place in the world to get an advanced education

00:54He

00:56Became an American citizen and met my mother a young professor who is the daughter of an army colonel in a piano teacher

01:04You

01:21From elementary school on he was a private person about personal matters

01:33You

01:42Well, you have to admit that with a very unusual last name

01:48Nobody could pronounce it

01:50It was primed for jokes

01:53and

01:54So he had to put up with that from the beginning

01:58Every new school and I'm including colleges when Peter would get there

02:03There would be a climate of we're gonna take him down the peg

02:27You

02:57You

03:28That's why I'm running for Indiana State Treasurer, but it's not about me it's about you

03:51When I took office we were being dismissed as a dying community

03:54The important thing that I think people need to know about South Bend story is that

03:59we didn't change our trajectory because I went around saying things like I alone can fix it or

04:05We're going to make our city great again

04:07I

04:24Also wanted to take this opportunity just to thank South Bend and everybody there for being so supportive

04:30I

04:34Hope it gets people thinking and I hope everybody realizes that the Sun came up today. I'm the exact same person. I was yesterday

04:44Well, this is a chance for the DNC to show that it's ready for a fresh start that it's ready for change

05:01You

05:04Being married to Chaston has made me a better human being

05:08Because it has made me more compassionate

05:10more understanding

05:12more self-aware and more decent

05:16My marriage to Chaston has made me a better man. And yes, mr. Vice President. It has moved me closer to God

05:30It's the best way to pronounce your last name Buttigieg, but around South Bend they just call me mayor Pete

05:44I'm a proud son of South Bend, Indiana, and I am running for president of the United States

05:50You

05:58That's the kind of experience that I think is really what we need not to mention the fact that I bring more

06:03Military experience to the office than any president. We've had go in there almost 30 years. So I will

06:11grant that my experience especially in the sense that I've not been marinating in Washington for a long time is

06:17Different than a lot of people, but I would argue it's no less relevant

06:30I'm looking for a leader

06:31I'm looking for a president who will draw out what is best in each of us and I'm encouraging

06:38Everybody who is part of my campaign to join me because we have found that leader in vice president soon-to-be president Joe Biden

06:47You

06:59And we could look into why an

07:01Evangelical Christian like Mike Pence wants to be on a ticket with the president caught with a porn star

07:06You know why you would want to be in a room with other people if you were

07:10Contagious with a deadly disease and you care about other sure, but maybe the president doesn't care about other people
