that i am with pete buttigieg trying to defend the $2 trillion infrastructure bill. infrastructure projects. the fact that he floated a mileage tax is intriguing. they walked it back but it's indication they can't actually pay for the stuff just by taxing the rich or corporations. they are going to have to think outside of the box which means taxing everyone at some point. >> emily: way to take it home for us. thank you, everyone, for such a great conversation today. kennedy, mollie tomi, guy. thank you. here is "america reports." >> john: fox news alert, a brand-new week. stunning numbers from customs and border protection as america reports on the growing crisis along the southern border. i am john roberts. welcome to the monday edition of "america reports." >> sandra: hello, joan. i'm sandra smith. 100,000 immigrants caught entering the country last month. it's a sharp increase from february when more than 100,000 migrants were arrested, john. >> john: it comes as the buy demonstration plans to send officials to guatemala and el salvador this week in attempt to ad

from nbc's meet the press we hear from transportation secretary pete buttigieg and senator robert wicker. >> division the president has put forward is fully paid for. across 15 years it would raise the revenue needed for these once-in-a-lifetime investments, so by year 16 you would see this package working to reduce the deficit. it is important to point out the american people agree with this, because we have seen corporations pay zero. we are asking corporations to pay their fair share at a rate that would be lower than it has been for most of my life. if folks on the hill have other ideas to pay for it we are going to be vested to give those ideas, but there is a clear vision to pay for this bill in full. >> there is a vision to pay for this bill in full, but if a bill that funds this infrastructure project comes to the president's desk and does not include enough to pay for this bill it does not sound like he would veto it. is that what you are saying? if congress decides to deficit spend, so be it? >> that decision is very literally above my pay grade. we will see how this thing look

joining us to explain the math and everything else is transportation secretary pete buttigieg. secretary buttigieg, great to see you. >> great to be with you. >> let me start by saying you are no johnny come lately to infrastructure. you have been talking about it, even in your own presidential campaign, for a long time. i remember in january 2020, you called for, back then, when you were running, a $1 trillion plan to modernize, basically, the infrastructure. and it was going to involve transportation, broadband, also going to involve water supply. some of the same things that we're talking about now. and so how did, in the space of 14 months it go from a $1 trillion price tag to a $2.3 trillion price tag? >> well, i guess i would say the need is even clearer now than it was a year ago. look, we see a trillion-dollar backlog just in things like maintaining our roads and bridges. we have to get broadband out to every american. we know the consequences if we allow lead to continue to go into drinking water for children. this is a moment for the united states to decide, are we, in

the secretary of transportation pete buttigieg. good to see you. so let's start with the 30,000-foot view. there is a lot in the bill that is not traditionally considered infrastructure. and i'm not talking about electric grids or clean water or rural broadband. i'm talking hundreds of billions for things such as in-home care for elderly americans and those with disabilities. priorities, certainly. but the question is, are they infrastructure? i understand the biden administration is trying to change how we talk and think about infrastructure to include support for workers, but i guess one of the questions i have is, do you think by trying to change the definition, you are actually hurting your cause, because republicans will just characterize this as democrats jamming a bunch of social programs into an infrastructure bill and calling it infrastructure and, thus, undermine your effort? >> well, it doesn't seem to be undermining anything because this bill, this package both in terms of the individual parts and as a whole is enjoying enormous support

has a climate expert -- not even climate experts understand the climate, that is complex, but pete buttigiegrely tells you it is the roads causing hurricanes, we never had them before rhodes. that expense why there is $46 billion in this bill for the federal government to buy electric vehicles. fbi agents can arrest you for sedition while driving tesla's. but wait a second, you ask, are those tesla's powered by coal plants? whatever, insurrectionist fear of another 2 trillion -- 2 billion goes to tax credits fr clean energy generation and storage. i wonder who owns those firms. could they be biden donors? there is also a plan for filling electric vehicle chargers, expand the market of electric vehicles. no one wants to buy them, the government is going to make you want to buy them. 10 billion for climate conservation corps to "boost climate resilience." [laughs] are they going to buy umbrellas? that would be a useful form of climate resilience, but they are thinking bigger than that. this is about trance forming our democracy. you will notice none of the spending goes to our oil borders put

secretary of transportation pete buttigieg mr. secretary thank you for joining us. thanks for f having me. >> there's been a lot of talk about climate issues so let's dive in president biden wants to spend 174 billion dollars to boost electric vehicles. i'm wondering how much of that money would go to consumers l to encourage them to trade in their gap card to get an electric vehicle and how much would go to corporations to encourage the manufacturing of the electric vehicles? >> well, certainly apartment of what we have to do is make electric vehicles more affordable for consumers. electric vehicles can't be a luxury item if we really want to recognize that they're c the future of car transportation, and critically position the u.s. to be t leading the world in manufacturing them. with american workers with access to union jobs. so that does mean taking action to make sure that they are more affordable as that technology goes to the large as possible scale. but we found that while electric vehicles are getting closer and closer to being the same or even cheaper if

in moments i'll speak with transportation secretary pete buttigieg about the massive proposals. he's leading negotiations for the jobs plan and he will have a tough time selling it today republicans and even some democrats, are skeptical about buying it. we're covering every angle of this story. kaitlan collins is in georgia, we'll start with cnn's manu raju on capitol hill, about how much support there actually is for these ambitious proposals in a closely divided house and sen senate. >> good to be back. >> after lying out a sweeping agenda to expand the net that would cost trillions, the white house has to rely n a narrowly divided house and 50/50 senate to deliver. a single member, like democrat joe manchin, could derail the biden agenda. are you concerned about this push for a more expansive government? >> most certainly, i am. i want to see the details. >> reporter: after approving nearly $2 trillion in covid relief last month, some in congress are getting sticker shock with biden's $1.8 trillion american families plan, which includes expansion of the child tax credit, fun

pete buttigieg suggested, like, 15 supreme court justices. cory booker wanted term limits.omething a little bit different, but they were all united in their anger that president trump got three supreme court justices. so now the decision making, the thinking especially on the progressive left is if you can't change the decisions that they're going to make, at least maybe we can try and change the number of decision merricks. and, of course, that would quickly spiral out of control. the supreme court is one of the only institutions left that's totally untouched by politics. they govern -- their rules are constitutional, their job is to interpret the constitution. and if you add supreme court justices, that changes. it does become more of a political body. so, yeah, give, to answer your question, my big question is what happens when this commission announces their findings? this is definitely joe biden kicking the can down the road. he said he was going to do this, he was going to have this commission when he was running for president, and now we have 180 days until he has to

secretary of transportation pete buttigieg. it's great to see you. >> same here. good to be with you. >> how do you like being transportation secretary? how is life in washington? >> i love it. it's an interesting job in any season, but right now when we're on the cusp of what might be the most transformative thing that's happened to transportation in my lifetime, it's thrilling. of course we've got a lot of work to do but i'm thrilled to be working on these issues and really honored to be part of his cabinet. it's an incredible feat. >> in terms of those transformative proposals, one of the things that we've noticed is that you have emerged as one of the administration's most articulate advocates for the president's plans, especially when it comes to somewhat hostile audiences. and so i have to ask if all the conversations you have been having with republicans and with the folks at fox news and other entities like that, have they taught you anything about this emerging political reality where republican voters seem to like what president biden is pr

i had to laugh when pete buttigieg at the top of that sound bite said i should have been more preciseonly missed it by 16.3 million jobs. >> yeah, trace, it is extraordinary. the question is, is this actually going to kill jobs? because this spending plan, which many are calling the green new deal, is funding subsidies for the green economy. that is going to cost jobs in many areas of the economy. it is going to force companies to make big changes in their own fossil fuel usage and that may very well put people out of work. not only do we overestimate the number of jobs created, they may very well have created numbers that do not exist. because we may actually see this cut jobs. this infrastructure plan or what is being called infrastructure is only 15% infrastructure related. largely it is a green new deal. larry lindsey from the lindsey group goes through all the subsidies being paid. it would fund initiatives. it includes $164 billion in electric vehicle incentives. in 2019 they were 327,000 plug-in vehicles sold. annual sale number gross 10 fold over the next eight years. by 2029

here's how pete buttigieg, transportation secretary, justified biden's corporate tax increase. listen to this. >> the jobs plan envisions this being covered through corporate taxes, american corporations can be competitive at a tax rate like 28 for the simple reason they were extremely competitive at a tax rate like 35 them could handle 35, surely they could handle 28. >> ha-ha. larry, 38? 28. 35, 28? what's it matter? >> you're right, well, he's the bicycle guy. he's not a car guy. he's the guy who said he's going to subtract roads when he gets the infrastructure package if it ever gets through so he was wrong. he were not competitive at 35. as i say, we were the top of the heap and we were losing money and losing jobs and losing factories all over the world. listen, think of this, if you do 28% which is what biden wants and add 4.5%, 32.5%. guess what china's tax rate is? 25%. we'll be so far above china and in my judgment, that is not something this country could afford to do. we'll lose capital. we'll lose investments. we'll lose factories to china of all places. we'll prov
