( cheers and applause ) i don't-- i don't know-- hang mike pence? so 71% believes democracy is in peril, and yet, only 7% identified that as the most important problem facing the country. kind of hard to fix anything else without a functioning democracy: "hello, 9-1-1?

>> stephen: thank you for being here. nice to see you. nice to see you. >> good to be back. >> stephen: i have to say, i was just thinking when you were coming out here, i always enjoy you coming here, not a lot of secretaries of transportation over the years have been on late-night talk shows. >> well, i'm glad to be part of changing that. >> stephen: you are, you are. you're a change-maker. we're coming up on the year anniversary of the infrastructure bill, right? >> that's right. >> stephen: so you've been out there making it rain all over the country. did-- is infrastructure fun? >> yeah! absolutely, yeah! >> stephen: what's the most fun thing about roads and bridges? >> i mean, fixing them, them not being broken. >> stephen: you like fixing stuff? >> yeah. i think there's a reason why children, for example, are fascinated, right, with trucks and roads and trains and planes.
12:07 am
it's exciting. you've just got to keep that sense of magic in it when you're doing the very hard blocking and tackling of actually building and maintaining that. >> stephen: you have the best set of tonka trucks of all time. >> all time. >> stephen: you've actually been interested in infrastructure for a long time. as the mayor of south end, here you are getting a giant check for the roads of south bend, $670,000. ( applause ) 2017. five years later, here you are as the secretary of transportation, giving up on the the giant novelty check for $19.5 million in new hampshire. ( applause ) i mean, talk to me about the big novelty check. this seems like a pretty small check for $19.5 million. shouldn't the size of the check reflect the size of the amount so if you into billions, you
12:08 am
need a flatbed truck to bring the check. >> it would be hard to fit it on a plane, though. i think it is important to not be too subtle about the message. i think sometimes folks forget what government is doing for if we fail to make it clear. of course it's not just about the check. it's about the results. the project we're doing there in new hampshire for example is going to help them in a very blue collar town that hasn't gotten the attention it's needed for its downtown streets, we're going to help them transform the economic opportunities for that community, with funding that will redo its streetscapes and they have a biomass power plant nearby which has to do a lot to-- they have a cooling tower, and there are ways they can route some of the coolant, the water that comes from that tower, under the sidewalks, melting the snow and saving taxpayer money on the process of plowing it. so as a former mayor -- >> stephen: so the power plant melts the sidewalk. ( applause ). >> they're basically taking the waste heap, it helps the power plant cool off-- get rid of their waste heap, and helps melt
12:09 am
the snow. and anyone knows the battle of mayor versus snow is second only to the battle of mayors versus potholes. the great kind of predator-prey relationships in local government. and now i get to be someone who is helping mayors across the country, like i used to be, deal with things like that. >> stephen: so as the secretary of transportation, the infrastructure bill is $1.2 trillion. >> yup. >> stephen: okay. when you were mayor, rounding up to the nearest trillion, how much money did you-- did you have at your control then? >> so it would be about, uh, what is that like a percent-- much, much less. >> stephen: rounding up to the first trillion would be 1 trillion. >> yes. >> stephen: rhoades scholar? >> yes, technically. >> stephen: does it make you mad or do you get frustrated when people who voted against the bill, like rick scott, and representative tony gonzalez,
12:10 am
don't refuse the money, and then actually make a big deal about having gotten the money for their constituents? >> it is striking that people went to the floor of the house or senate and said no, this infrastructure funding should not happen. and 24e7b they can't wait to be there, when that funding is coming to their district. but -- >> stephen: do you make them hold the big check? >> i hadn't t thought about tha. that would be good. >> stephen: you and the check and them. >> there's nothing better than seeing a skeptic become a conconvert. i call it the sincerest form of flattery if someone was against yourless and when it's benefiting people who live in their communities they can't hug you close enough. i'll say, this politics aside, the people who live in those communities shouldn't be punished because their senator orhouse member said no to this funding. we're going to serve everybody equally. ( applause ). >> stephen: i suspect you would say something like that. i suspected you would have the-- the best interest of the american people at heart. >> well, thanks, i'd like to
12:11 am
think that's how we think about things. it comes from the top. it can be frustrating, politically, when you see that sort of stuff go on. but, look, this is part of a pattern that we've often seen where many congressional republicans take stances that seem to be more about the problem than about the solution. so, you know, you look at-- even the things that they talk about the most often-- immigration, inflation-- i mean, of all the things congressional republicans have proposed, policy-wise, can anybody name the top five things that they've suggested to fight inflation? can anyone name three? how about one? you know, they voted no on the inflation reduction act that was about lowering prices for americans. and i would have loved nothg more than to have a debate between the democratic inflation reduction act and the republican inflation reduction act on the house of the floor and senate and argued over which one was better. but there was only one, and it was ours. and, luckily, it passed.

to help protect from hiv, i prep without pills. with apretude a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of hiv without daily prep pills. with one shot every other month, just 6 times a year. in studies, apretude was proven superior to a daily prep pill in reducing the risk of hiv. you must be hiv negative to receive apretude and get tested before each injection. if you think you were exposed to hiv or have flu-like symptoms, tell your doctor right away. apretude does not prevent other sexually transmitted infections. practice safer sex to reduce your risk. don't take apretude if you're allergic to or taking certain medicines, as they may interact. tell your doctor if you've had liver problems or mental health concerns. if you have a rash or other allergic reactions, stop apretude and get medical help right away. serious side effects include allergic reactions, liver problems, and depression.

12:17 am
candidate in 2020. and whenever, you know, down the road you ever run for office again, whether it's, you know, two years from now or 18 months from now-- ( laughter ) ( applause ) how do you feel about the fact that there are 300 republican candidates on the ballot in just a few weeks who question the legitimacy of the last election, and some who outright believe it should be overturned? you saw "the new york times" poll, 71% of americans believe that democracy is in peril. how do you run for office and do so to a public that is losing its faith in the legitimacy or at least the efficacy of their vote? >> so, one of the most important principles in democracy is that when you lose, you accept the outcome. and i've had to do that. winning is much more fun than
12:18 am
losing, i've done both, but when you lose you accept the outcome. and the reason that is so important is because we expect the same thing from citizens in terms of policy decisions. in other words, parent of what it means to live in a democracy is that we have this process for getting decisions that all of us have to live by-- those of us who agreed with the decision and those of us who were against it, whether it's a court decision or a decision by congress on what the law ought to be. so if we all have to live with the outcome of each of these policy choices, it's only fair that the people who make them have to live with the outcome of when we choose which one of them is going to be in charge. that's how the bargain works. ( applause ) >> stephen: since the last time-- since the last time you and i were here together, you're now a dad. you and your husband are now dads of twins. ( applause ) how has-- how has being a parent changed your view of your role
12:19 am
asa citizen and your role as a public servant and the importance of our country? >> i mean, it changes everything because, first of all, you're training your replacement, right. so you're -- >> stephen: they are here to replace us. >> yeah. so you have a different relationship with the future. and i think politics and policy is all about the future. it's definitely true with infrastructure, because we're making decisions that will, you know, my children, when they are old, will be depending in some cases on bridges and tunnels and trains and airports and things woo we're going to build right now in the early 2020s. the same way we, for better or worse, depend on infrastructure that was built 100 years ago. at work, i think about that differently. at home, i think the biggest thing you discover-- the first thing that amazed me, i think chaft and i know me it both, when you hold them in your arms how tiny and how vulnerable they are and how completely dependent they are on you. most animals, most mammals, within a day or two they can
12:20 am
kind of stagger around and, you know, you have an infant in your hands, and they just literally can't do anything without-- without you. but then what's amazing is in very short order, as you take care of them, you realize how dependent you are, because you as a parent can't do anything without friends and family and loved ones, and i would add, you know, living in a society that is organized in order to at least attempt to make it easy to raise children. so you begin by realizing how dependent they are on you, and then you come to realize how dependent you are on everybody else. and it's changed our relationships in a beautiful way, but to-- to our own parents and to our neighbors and to our friends and everybody who is involved in this incredible project of raising human beings. ( applause ) >> stephen: mr. secretary. thank you for being here. good luck with the human being thing, it's relentless.

it's "go-to dinners." ina garten, so lovely to see you. we'll be right back. i'm karen. i'm living with hiv and i'm on cabenuva.
12:34 am
for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. it's two injections from a healthcare provider. i really like the flexibility. and for me, it's one less thing to think about while traveling. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or if you taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. ready to treat your hiv in a different way? ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. with every-other-month cabenuva, i'm good to go.
