🔦:The longer clip isn’t better:
#PeteButtigieg agreed (🗣: “definitely”) w/ Libertarian Pat Farrell that he/retired people could be mentors to kids.
Pete identifies poor “minority neighborhood” kids as needing mentors b/c no one they know “testifies to the value of education.”

Also, #MayorPete nods affirmatively as Pat Farrell says, “and I think that is why mentoring is so important. They need to meet that person. They need to get that push other than if a family member isn’t enthused about their educational history and lets them throw their bag...”
Early in the 2011 Clip #PeteButtigieg comments on shops using machines:
“...you wouldn’t believe the sophistication involved in what we would of thought of as basic work. If you’re in a sheet metal factory, you’re not banging on piece of sheet metal with a mallet.”

2011 Clip: #PeteButtigieg basically calls South Bend high school graduates stupid and unemployable.
Pete lays the blame of graduates not being “prepared at a young age for problem solving and mental disciplines” at South Bend’s education system which he plans to fix as mayor.

Hey ya’ll! In that 2011 clip, turns out #PeteButtigieg was “only stating what the science has proven...”
