i want to thank a secretary, buttigieg and gina mccarthy for being here today. and congressman jen cooper is an old friend who did a lot to get this to go in tennessee. and governor bill lee of tennessee deserves credit as well. he was not able to be here today but he worked hard to help make this happen. another example of what american can achieve we come together democrats and republicans to get things done. you manufacturing facility announced today it is more just great news for tennessee. it's going to create more than 500 good paying jobs in tennessee but it's going to deliver greater dignity and a little more breathing room to workers and their families is going have a ripple effect far beyond one state. this is great news for workers across the country for an economy and frankly for the planet. when we wrote and passed the pipe part of it in for structural all be included $7.5 billion for electric vehicle chargers like the one jane brought along today it is a little thing. but all kidding aside to secretaries granholm and buttigieg have been helping lea

it was pete buttigieg of mckenzie and ko.blem with the roads in the bridges is they are racist. here he was in november. >> i am surprised some people were surprised when i pointed to the fact that if the highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a black neighborhood or if an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly black and puerto rican kids to a beach or that would've been in new york was designed to go for it to pass by, it obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices. >> tucker: racist bridges. we wanted to hear more from pete buttigieg. he is the transportation secretary. he is breastfeeding stay semigood and join us. he wanted to know what his record on infrastructure was as mayor of south bend. it turns out buttigieg doesn't have a very good track record. the keystone traffic initiative. he reportedly led to the death of an 11-year-old boy. the initiative deactivated in nonessential traffic light and the boy was struck by a truck. host of "the burning truth" in south b

he picked pete buttigieg, first of some time.t deterred by his total demonstrated inability to deal with infrastructure. he has a new plan. he has just announced that he's going to ensure that no one in this country ever again dies in a traffic accident. watch. >> another thing that it's going to take in order to change the trajectory of roadway safety in this country is a single, emphasis shared goal. and today we commit that our goal is this. zero. our goal zero deaths. a country where one day, nobody has to say goodbye to a loved one because of a traffic crash. >> tucker: why stop there? why not just eliminate death itself? it is sad when people die. if you worked at mckinsey you would think the guy could figure out how to human suffering and death. there's no reason life should end, and if your god, and clearly pete buttigieg is, or considers himself to be, why not do that? i'm sure that goal is coming. but in the meantime, he has a very specific plan to a limited all traffic deaths, and that's putting a lot more robot cops o

nbc's erin gilchrist talked with transportation secretary pete buttigieg to learn more about the planys across the country. 489,000 of them sold in 2021, according to jd power. just over 3% over all cars bought last year. what's slowing ev down, part of the problem is power. >> that's exactly why we're making sure we have the backbone of a national charging network. >> i sat down with transportation secretary pete buttigieg just after the biden administration announced a $5.05-year investment to build electric vehicle charging stations across the nation. >> it's going to take a while to have a full fledged charging netswork. it will take across the decade to get to the goal that we have. but we have already got chargers across the country. this is about accelerating that to keep up and get ahead of the increasing popularity of these evs. >> buttigieg says to get the money, states will have to submit plans to build ev chargers along interstate highways and major roads, making it more convenient to drive electric, and resolve range anxiety. >> people have anxiety, am i going to make it.

pete buttigieg is also corrupt.w reporting in the daily mail pete buttigieg excepted $250,000 in gifts from mayoral campaign donors when he was "running" south bend. mayor pete then awarded those donors with $33 million in city contracts. wow! that's kind of old-school corruption! where's the doj? right. josh boswell is a senior reporter a dailymail.com which is trying to keep this man honest. thanks so much for coming on. this is such an old-fashioned example. he's taking cash and then handing out contracts? >> yeah. it's -- i mean it's not sort of a direct one to one like that but the pattern is pretty clear here. you've got 23 companies who are donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to his mayoral campaign, his dnc campaign, and even some to the presidential campaign. and then those same companies are awarded these big multimillion dollar, in some cases, contracts and the city of south bend. the city told me look, pete didn't have anything to do with awarding those contracts at the time. he's the mayor and it'

secretary buttigieg rightfully called it a crisis. while many stopped driving in the early days of the pandemic, those who remain on the road were more likely to engage in risky behaviors. as a result, we have seen an unprecedented rise in a rose way fatalities. i'm committed to turn this around. we have much to learn about why some driving behaviors changed during the pandemic. how we can encourage people to make safer choices, and how we can change a culture that accepts the loss of tens of thousands of people in really crashes as inevitable. we continue to work with safety stakeholders around the country to develop countermeasures, but more work needs to be done. a cultural change will take a transformational and collaborative approach to safety. everyone, including those who design, operate, build, and use the road system share responsibility for road safety. by taking the safe systems approach, we commit to improving safety for already users. a safe system approach incorporates the five ease, equity, engineering, education, and e

pete buttigieg unveiled his "single ambitious shared goal." >> we commit that our goal is this.try where one day nobody has to say goodbye to a loved one because of a traffic crash. >> the plan cites an 11% increase of speeding related fatalities between 2019 and 2020. part of the solution to the problem, page 32, says one of the governments actions to enable safer speeds is to "promote speed safety cameras as a proven safety countermeasure." that line has led to criticism all over social media with many arguing that speed cameras are a ploy to find more motorists and line the governments pockets. "the cameras can commit errors when it comes to actually ticketing the right offenders. this can be a problem for drivers but the windfall for enforcers. although the intention behind buttigieg's new policies to create safer roads, speed cameras will likely be better at generating large amounts of cash for local governments." new york city councilman backing up telling tucker carlson that during mayor de blasio's term, the number of speed cameras went up from 22 about 1,400 and yet the

transportation secretary pete buttigieg announced states can start applying for the first part of the infrastructure laws. charger funding. buttigieg says the new law will pave the way for both urban and rural areas to go electric, create jobs, fight the climate change crisis. it sure that this game changing technology is affordable and accessible. >> for every american. the transportation department plan allows states to use the funds for charging stations in neighborhoods and cities. >> once a fulfill their commitments to the highway charging network in national news, a congressional committee investigating the january 6 attack on the u.s. capitol has issued more subpoenas to members of former president trump's inner circle. >> but as the case grows, lawmakers on capitol hill have mixed reactions. our washington correspondent alexandra limon reports even among republicans, there are now different views so far. the house committee investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol. >> has issued more than 100 subpoenas and has conducted more than 500 interviews. >> republicans seem

the strongest person on the bench is pete buttigieg. he can't run as long as he is the secretary of transportation. if he leaves transportation that's a sign he wants to get in. you start running early. barack obama declared his candidacy in february of 2009. that is coming up in terms of this election cycle. one year from now presidential contenders need to declare. >> laura: if pete buttigieg is their great hope republicans are dancing across the country. that's their hope. okay. >> i could see him having a bicycle lane to winning the democratic primary. >> laura: you get the sense that the con shop in the white house is trying to figure out how to turn the page on covid and get our mojo back. biden came out and talked about the jobs reports feeling good. >> this past month we mailed out tens of millions of home tests to deliver to your home. now we are seeing a difference. just in the past 3 weeks, today's extraordinary job report data was collected. the covid crisis has been cut in half in 3 weeks. >> laura: he is now trying to decl

. >> laura: that means transportation secretary buttigieg is now our general. a growing danger is the increase in traffic fatalities accident the biggest increase in more than a decade. is it surprising that we had more traffic deaths in it 2021 than in 2020 when millions were staying home in the pandemic? in 2020 the economy came to a halt and so did everything else. that was peachy for the folks of the "new york times." they wrote in los angeles, businesses and schools have closed and drivers stayed off the roads. air pollution declined and traffic jams have all but vanished. march 2020. forget the massive unemployment and the kids suffering on zoom. look on the bright side. the climate was happy. >> a year ago los angeles had the worst air quality in the country. now we are seeing some of the best air quality in the world. >> the pandemic lockdown took 80% of passenger cars off the roads. showing a 31% reduction in air pollution. >> laura: businesses shuttered and people stopped commuting and ordered door dash while binge watching their days away. now that p

apparently back in the day pete buttigieg was involved in what some might call a pay for play scheme. a quarter million bucks in donations and gifts. i wonder what those are from two dozen companies. those exact same companies were then awarded $33 million in city contracts, from the south bend board of public works which, you know, mayor pete appointed the members on that board. so why is this all being dug up now? it happened years ago? it almost seems like someone is purposely going out of their way or her way to smear mayor pete, why? could it have something to do with 2024? it's no slam dunk if biden runs for re-election if he doesn't a slew of ambitious young democrats are waiting in the wings. pay for play pete certainly one of them. and if that's the case, someone, clearly sees him as a threat. someone who also wants joe's job. but who could that be? we don't know anybody in washington who would want the sabotage their friend, right? joining me now "fox & friends" co-host ainsley earhart. ainsley, this has kamala's fingerprints all over it. >> ainsley: wait a minute, jesse, i

miguel marquez, thank you so much. >>> joining me now is transportation secretary pete buttigieg.e time this morning. >> good to be with you. good morning. >> lots of things on your plate right now. so i'm trying to run through the list here. let's begin with what's happening on the canadian border. you have truckers blocking the u.s. border through way now. canada, of course this is one of the busiest trading borders in the world. how is this impacting the supply chain already disrupted here in the u.s. and what is the administration's plan to deal with it? >> well, we're monitoring this closely. we have been in touch with the state department, cvp, all taking steps to try to keep things moving smoothly while the demonstrators have blocked the ambassador bridge. there is also the windsor tunnel and then traffic can be redirected through port huron. so that's what's going on in the short term. watching this to see if it develops into something that could impact us in the medium and long term. >> is it impacting the supply here chain here already? >> it is clearly something we're w

they are ignoring pete buttigieg. move a big rig, you need tow truck operators. and those tow truck operators -- they know truckers are not a racist, they. so some of them aren't inclined to help. gary allen told canadian media "we have all the capabilities on our tow trucks to do it, but i don't think anyone would want to." another tow truck operator said even if tow truck operators wanted to help, it would be very hard. "in the end, the truckers get a say on whether you are taking that truck away or not." there are technical reasons for this, it turns out trucks are heavy. they have air brakes and steel belted tires. some of the truckers removed their tires completely. so what now? now is when you start to panic. and they definitely are. this afternoon the prime minister of canada clearly who is fidel castro's illegitimate son, came out from hiding to threaten them directly. watch this. >> if you join the protests because you are tired of covid, you now need to understand that to you breaking laws. the consequences

after secretary buttigieg makes opening remarks, mayor hancock and i will engage in a conversation.ase give a big round of applause to our former colleague and friend, transportation secretary mayor pete. [applause] >> thank you. pete: it feels so good to be back in a room full of america's mayors. i can't tell you how excited i am. the last time i was here, i think it was as a presidential candidate and mayor at the same time. i was flashing back to the first time i was here when i was going up and down those -- there's stairways out in the lobby there, and i could just see folks' eyes moving toward my name tag trying to figure out who i was interning for. and it's -- since then it's only become a more important organization to me and to the country. when i was a mayor, i was convinced the local government is the level that gets the most done that is closest to the people and is most critical in shaping people's lives. when i was mayor i believed that to be true. now that i'm a cabinet official i know that to be true. and we're counting on it. [applause] and that is especially true

first time i met secretary of transportation pete buttigieg we were on a millenial mayors panel, theas ever called a millenial, and been on a few panels since then, and very, very blessed and happy to call him a friend. he serves all of us as the 19th secretary of transportation, having been sworn in as secretary in february. he brings our perspective that of a mayor to his job as secretary. he was such a leader on our issues as chair of our special task force in advancing manufacturing, he was always involved in the important work of this conference, and we are so blessed to have him in this position at this critical time. as a new point person on so much of the funding being provided under the new infrastructure investment and jobs act. his department of defense is slated to receive about $660 billion in total transportation funding. that's with a "b." substantially more than any other sector. he also knows that our state colleagues received a substantial share of this funding by formula, and he understands what that means for us. in the past, states have rarely used the law's flex
