SEBASTIAN
SEBASTIAN ROBERTSON TO TELL US WHAT'S HAPPENING.
WHAT'S HAPPENING. >> Reporter: GOOD EVENING, I'M
ABOUT TO TAKE THE STAGE AT TWO
FUNDRAISERS IN SEATTLE.
BOTH ARE PRIVATE.
BOTH COST A LITTLE BIT OF
MONEY TO GET INTO.
THIS ONE TICKETS START AT $25,
THE NEXT ONE, IT'S A LITTLE
MORE EXPENSIVE.
MORE EXPENSIVE. NOW, THE PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL
IS THE YOUNGEST IN THE FIELD
LEANING INTO IT.
BUTTIGIEG IS A SELF-PROCLAIMED
MILLENNIAL.
MILLENNIAL. OPENLY GAY.
OPENLY GAY. SERVED IN THE MILITARY.
CURRENTLY SERVES AS THE MAYOR
OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD OF COURSE
IS A CROWDED ONE.
AND YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE MORE
HIGH PROFILE CANDIDATES HERE
IN WASHINGTON STATE.
THIS COMES AS THE STATE VOTED
TO MOVE UP ITS PRIMARY DATE
TWO MONTHS EARLY.
WE'LL BE AMONG THE FIRST IN
THE STATE TO VOTE FOR A
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE. AS FOR THE HOMETOWN GUY
INSLEE, WELL, HE IS TRAILING
BEHIND BUTTIGIEG WHEN IT COMES
TO RAISING MONEY.
ACCORDING TO SECOND QUARTER
NUMBERS THAT WERE RELEASED,
INSLEE RAISED SIGNIFICANTLY
LESS.
LESS.
LESS. ABOUT $3 MILLION.
BUTTIGIEG RAISED NEARLY $25
MILLION.
MILLION.
MILLION. FROM HERE, BUTTIGIEG HEADS TO
A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN
SEATTLE.
SEATTLE.
SEATTLE. THE TICKET FOR THAT, ABOUT A
THOUSAND DOLLARS A PERSON.
WE'LL HAVE MUCH MORE LATER
THIS EVENING.
THIS EVENING. BACK TO YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, SEBASTIAN
ROBERTSON.
ROBERTSON. QUICK QUESTION, YOU SPOKE TO
SOME KING COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
WHAT DID THEY SAY ABOUT
SUPPORTING BUTTIGIEG?
SUPPORTING BUTTIGIEG? >> Reporter: WELL, KING COUNTY
DEMOCRATS ARE NOT MAKING AN
OFFICIAL ENDORSEMENT UNTIL
LATER IN THE RACE BUT THEY
SAID WITH WASHINGTON STATE
MOVING THE PRIMARY DATE UP,
EXPECT TO SEE WASHINGTON STATE
MORE OF A PLAYER IN THE RACE
AND TO SEE MORE HIGH-PROFILE
CANDIDATES.
CANDIDATES. >> SEBASTIAN ROBERTSON LIVE AT
THE SHOW BOX.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. >>> MEANTIME, THE REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL COMMITTEE PUT OUT
THIS STATEMENT.
THIS STATEMENT. "WITH A QUESTIONABLE RECORD AS
MAYOR OF SOUTH BEND ALONG WITH
HIS SUPPORT OF SANCTUARY
CITIES AND FREE HEALTH CARE
FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, PETE
BUTTIGIEG WOULD BE DISASTROUS
FOR WASHINGTON STATE AND THE
REST OF AMERICA" AND THEY SAID
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS DELIVERED
FOR THE EVERGREEN STATE WITH
JOB CREATION.
JOB CREATION. THE OBVIOUS POINT IS THAT PETE
BUTTIGIEG IS CAMPAIGNING IN
GOVERNOR JAY INSLEE'S
TERRITORY.
TERRITORY. >> ANGELA RUSSELL JOINS US
WITH A LOOK AT HOW THESE TWO
COMPARE.
COMPARE.
COMPARE. >> Reporter: IT IS REALLY
INTERESTING.
INTERESTING. WE ALL KNOW INSLEE HAS REALLY
GONE ALL IN ON THIS CLIMATE
CHANGE PIECE.
CHANGE PIECE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT
BUTTIGIEG, YOU DON'T REALLY
HAVE THE ONE THING THAT COME
TO MIND.
TO MIND.
TO MIND. HE KIND OF HAS A VARIETY OF
ISSUES.
ISSUES.
ISSUES. SO HERE IS SPECIFICALLY
THOUSAND THE TWO STACK UP
AGAINST EACH OTHER.
LIVING HERE IN WASHINGTON, WE
KNOW INSLEE IS OUR GOVERNOR,
SECOND TERM, A FORMER
CONGRESSMAN.
CONGRESSMAN. STATE LEGISLATOR AND
PROSECUTOR.
PROSECUTOR. BUTTIGIEG IS THE MAYOR OF
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA.
IN THE NAVY RESERVES.
ACTUALLY DURING HIS FIRST TERM
AS MAYOR SPENT SEVEN MONTHS
DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN.
AND, I'M SURE AS SEBASTIAN
MENTIONED, PRETTY YOUNG.
IF ELECTED HE WOULD BE JUST
37.
37.
37. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST
FEDERAL REPORT, BUTTIGIEG HAS
RAISED MORE MONEY THAN KAMALA
HARRIS AND JOE BIDEN TO THE
TUNE OF $32 MILLION.
AND LOOK AT THAT COMPARISON.
5.3MILLION FOR INSLEE AS OF
JUNE 30.
JUNE 30.
JUNE 30. THESE ISSUES HAVE SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT TAKES ON HOW THEY
APPROACH SOME THINGS.
FOR EXAMPLE, INSLEE IS FOR
UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE.
BUTTIGIEG SAYS HE IS ALL FOR
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. BUT
THAT. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, IS
ADVOCATING FOR AN ALL PAYER
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM.
SYSTEM. THAT IS WHEN A HOSPITAL SETS A
PRICE FOR A PROCEDURE AND
THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT. IT CAN'T CHARGE ONE PERSON ONE
THING BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS
THING.
THING.
THING. WITH ONE ORGANIZATION, I
SHOULD SAY DIFFERENT HOSPITALS
COULD COMPETE WITH THE PRICE.
WITHIN ONE ORGANIZATION, IT
STAYS THE SAME.
AS FOR GUN LAWS, INSLEE WANTS
TO EXPAND BACKGROUND CHECKS
AND RESTRICT SOME
SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS.
SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS. BUTTIGIEG IS ADVOCATING FOR A
NATIONAL GUN LICENSING SYSTEM.
INSLEE IS ALL ABOUT THE
CLIMATE CHANGE, COMPREHENSIVE
CALLING FOR 100% CARBON
NEUTRAL ELECTRICITY.
NEUTRAL ELECTRICITY. BUTTIGIEG IS PITCHING WHAT HE
DESCRIBES AS A NEW CALL TO
SERVICE.
SERVICE.
SERVICE. A PIPELINE FOR AS MANY AS 4
MILLION HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
TO DO A NATIONAL SERVICE
PROGRAM.
PROGRAM.
PROGRAM. YOU MAY HAVE HEARD PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT THIS IS THEIR IDEA TO
GET RID OF STUDENT LOAN DEBT.
THIS IS ONE WAY TO ADDRESS
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. YOU
THAT. YOU DO A SERVICE PROJECT.
YOU CAN GET SOME STUDENT DEBT
FORGIVENESS OR VOCATIONAL
TRAINING.
TRAINING.
TRAINING. THAT IS JUST ONE OF HIS IDEAS
TO ADDRESS THAT.
HOW DO THESE CANDIDATES
COMPARE IN TERMS OF WHAT
COUNTS RIGHT NOW?
THE POLLS.
THE POLLS. INSLEE HAS SEEN HIS SUPPORT
DWINDLE TO UNDER A PERCENTAGE
POINT.
POINT.
POINT. BUTTIGIEG IS ENJOYING SUPPORT
FROM EIGHT PERCENT POLLED.
SO, HE IS KIND OF UP THERE.
WHEN YOU THINK HE IS A MAYOR
OF A TOWN IN INDIANA.
>> AND MONEY.
MONEY IS REALLY WHAT THIS IS
ABOUT.
ABOUT.
ABOUT. AND HE HAS RAISED A TON.
>> SO MUCH MONEY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> EXACTLY. 32MILLION COMPARED TO INSLEE'S
5. INSLEE REALLY TOOK A RISK
ON THE CLIMATE CHANGE ISSUE.
CONSIDERING PEOPLE SAY IT IS
THEIR NUMBER ONE ISSUES.
IT HASN'T TRANSLATED TO THOSE
POLLS.
POLLS.
POLLS. SO
POLLS. SO THIS UPCOMING DEBATE WILL
BE SO CRITICAL TO SEE IF HE
CAN HAVE THAT MAGIC MOMENT.
>> AND WE HAVE A LONG WAYS TO
GO.
GO.
GO. >>
GO. >> Reporter: YOU HAD TO REMIND
US.
US.
US. >>
US. >> HANG IN THERE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SPEAKING OF, WHAT ANGELA
WAS TALKING ABOUT.
A WEEK FROM TODAY, WE WILL
HEAR FROM ALL OF THE
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES FOR
PRESIDENT.
PRESIDENT. THE SECOND ROUND OF DEBATES,
JULY 30 IN DETROIT.
BUTTIGIEG WILL SHARE THE STAGE
WITH NINE CANDIDATES INCLUDING
BERNIE SANDERS AND ELIZABETH
WARREN.
WARREN.
WARREN. NIGHT TWO FEATURES WASHINGTON
GOVERNOR JAY INSLEE GOING UP
AGAINST JOE BIDEN AND SENATOR
KAMALA HARRIS.
KAMALA HARRIS. >>> WE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM
YOU ABOUT THE UPCOMING DEBATE.
WHAT ISSUES DO YOU WANT THE
CANDIDATES TO TACKLE?
