SURPRISED. >> THANK YOU, SENATOR.
>> VANESSA, TO YOU.
>> SENATOR KLOBUCHAR, YOURE
RUNNING ON YOUR WASHINGTON
EXPERIENCE, BUT LAST WEEK IN A
TELEMUNDO INTERVIEW YOU COULD
NOT NAME THE PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
OR DISCUSS ANY OF HIS POLICIES.
LAST NIGHT YOU DEFENDED YOURSELF
SAYING, QUOTE, THIS ISNT
JEOPARDY. BUT MY QUESTION TO YOU IS,
SHOULDNT OUR NEXT PRESIDENT
KNOW MORE ABOUT ONE OF OUR
LARGEST TRADING PARTNERS?
>> OF COURSE.
OF COURSE.
OF COURSE. I DONT THINK THAT THAT
MOMENTARY FORGETFULNESS ACTUALLY
REFLECTS WHAT I KNOW ABOUT
MEXICO AND HOW MUCH I CARE ABOUT
IT.
IT. I FIRST WANT TO SAY GREETINGS TO
PRESIDENT LOPEZ OBRADOR.
SECONDLY, WHAT I MEANT BY THE
GAME OF JEOPARDY IS THAT I MEANT
WE COULD ALL COME UP WITH
THINGS.
THINGS. YOU KNOW, HOW MANY MEMBERS ARE
THERE IN THE ISRAELI KNESSET?
120.
120. WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF
HONDURAS?
HONDURAS?
HERNANDEZ. WHEN IT COMES TO MEXICO, I AM
THE ONE PERSON ON THIS STAGE
THAT CAME OUT FIRST TO SAY I WAS
FOR THE U.S.-MEXICAN-CANADIAN
TRADE AGREEMENT.
TRADE AGREEMENT. THAT IS ONE OF THE NUMBER ONE
DUTIES OF A PRESIDENT TO
IMPLEMENT THAT.
IMPLEMENT THAT. >> MY COLLEAGUE SPECIFICALLY
ASKED YOU IF YOU COULD NAME THE
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO AND YOUR
RESPONSE WAS NO.
>> THATS RIGHT.
I SAID I MADE AN ERROR.
I THINK HAVING A PRESIDENT THAT
MAYBE IS HUMBLE AND IS ABLE TO
ADMIT THAT HERE AND THERE MAYBE
WOULDNT BE A BAD THING.
>> MAYOR BUTTIGIEG, RESPONSE?
>> I WOULDNT LIKEN THIS TO
TRIVIA.
TRIVIA. I ACTUALLY DIDNT KNOW HOW MANY
MEMBERS WERE IN THE KNESSET.
>> THERE YOU GO.
>> YOU ARE STAKING YOUR
CANDIDACY ON YOUR WASHINGTON
EXPERIENCE.
EXPERIENCE. YOURE ON THE COMMITTEE THAT
OVERSEES BORDER SECURITY.
YOURE ON THE COMMITTEE THAT
DOES TRADE.
DOES TRADE. YOURE LITERALLY IN THE PART OF
THE COMMITTEE THATS OVERSEEING
THESE THINGS.
THESE THINGS. >> ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY -- ARE
YOU MOCKING ME HERE, PETE?
I SAID I MADE AN ERROR.
PEOPLE SOMETIMES FORGET NAMES.
I AM THE ONE THAT HAS THE
EXPERIENCE BASED ON PASSING OVER
100 BILLS -- IF I COULD RESPOND,
THIS WAS A PRETTY BIG
ALLEGATION.
HES BASICALLY SAYING THAT I
DONT HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO BE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I HAVE PASSED OVER 100 BILLS AS
THE LEAD DEMOCRAT SINCE BEING IN
THE U.S. SENATE. I AM THE ONE, NOT YOU, THAT HAS
WON STATEWIDE IN CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT AFTER CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT.
DISTRICT. AND I WILL SAY WHEN YOU TRIED IN
INDIANA, PETE, TO RUN, WHAT
HAPPENED TO YOU?
YOU LOST BY OVER 20 POINTS TO
SOMEONE WHO LATER LOST TO MY
FRIEND JOE DONNELLY.
SO DONT TELL ME ABOUT
EXPERIENCE.
EXPERIENCE. WHAT UNITES US HERE IS WE WANT
TO WIN.
TO WIN. I THINK WE SHOULD PUT A PROVEN
WINNER IN CHARGE OF THE TICKET.
>> THIS IS A RACE FOR PRESIDENT.
I WOULD HAVE GROWN UP OVER THE
PRESIDENCY OF WALTER MONDALE.
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
THE REASON I THINK WE NEED TO
TALK ABOUT WASHINGTON EXPERIENCE
IS THAT WE SHOULD ASK WHAT THAT
EXPERIENCE HAS LED TO.
EXPERIENCE AND CERTAINLY TENURE
IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME THING AS
JUDGMENT.
JUDGMENT. IF WERE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
VOTES FOR THE SENATE IN
WASHINGTON, LETS TALK ABOUT IT.
>> HELLO, HELLO, HELLO.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. SENATOR WARREN AND MAYOR
BLOOMBERG, THIS QUESTION IS FOR
YOU.
YOU. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT -- MAYBE
THIS IS APPROPRIATE HERE.
>> CAN I JUST DEFEND SENATOR
KLOBUCHAR FOR A MINUTE?
THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE FORGOT A
NAME.
NAME. IT HAPPENS, IT HAPPENS TO
EVERYBODY ON THIS STAGE.
LOOK, YOU WANT TO ASK ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT YOU UNDERSTAND
TRADE POLICY WITH MEXICO?
HAVE AT IT.
IF YOU GET IT WRONG, MAN, YOU
OUGHT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR
THAT.
THAT. YOU WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE
ECONOMY AND YOU GET IT WRONG,
YOU OUGHT TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE. YOU WANT TO ASK ABOUT A THOUSAND
DIFFERENT ISSUES AND YOU GET IT
WRONG, YOU OUGHT TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
ACCOUNTABLE. LETS BE CLEAR, MISSING A NAME
ALL BY ITSELF DOES NOT INDICATE
THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND
WHATS GOING ON.
I JUST THINK THIS IS UNFAIR.
>> YOURE RIGHT.
YOURE RIGHT.
YOURE RIGHT. BUT SENATOR KLOBUCHAR COULD NOT
DISCUSS MEXICAN POLICY EITHER.
>> IM THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS
THIS MAN AND MET WITH HIM.
>> I DO HAVE TO RESPOND.
>> COME ON, MAN.
>> YOU INVOKED MY NAME AGAIN AND
I ASK YOU TO LOOK AT THE
INTERVIEW I DID DIRECTLY AFTER
THE FORUM, WHICH WE WENT INTO
GREAT DETAIL ON LATIN AMERICAN
POLICY.
POLICY. I WANT TO SAY ONE THING ABOUT
MAYOR PETE.
MAYOR PETE. WE JUST DISAGREE.
HE WAS ASKED ON A DEBATE STAGE
ABOUT THE MEXICAN CARTELS, WHICH
ARE BAD, BAD CRIMINAL
ORGANIZATIONS.
HE SAID THAT HE WOULD BE OPEN TO
CLASSIFYING THEM AS TERRORIST
ORGANIZATIONS.
I ACTUALLY DONT AGREE WITH
THAT. THAT IS A VERY VALID DEBATE TO
HAVE.
