in november. i'm still surprised that some people were surprised when i pointed to the fact that if a highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a black neighborhood or if an underpass was constructeder such that a bus carrying mostly black and puerto rican kids to a beach would have been in new york which was designed to low for it to pass by .us but that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choicest racist bridges. and we wanted to hear more from the transportation secretary. now he's breastfeeding today so he couldn't join us .ea butst we did want to know what his record on infrastructure. was while mayor of south bend, indiana. well, there's a website called real news michiana. it turns out according to their reporting, what judge does not have very good track o record when it comes to fixing roads is called keystone traffic initiative that he put into place as mayor of south bend reportedly led ton the death of an 11 year old boy . that initiative deactivated and non-essential traffic light

ceiling, the continuing resolution, infrastructure, various bills, the president says the country is going to be in great shape. it's still a very tall order, isn't it? >> it certainly is, wolf, and i think that part of the argument that you hear president biden making and you also hear this argument being made by the two congressional leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer is that this is the contract that we signed with the american people when they gave us the opportunity to hold these offices. when they voted for us in the last election. we promised a big sweeping social safety net expansion. we promised taking care of these big issues like fixing roads and bridges across the country. if we don't deliver on that promise, then we're going to be in real trouble, not only in the midterm elections which are coming up in a year but this first round of elections in the first year after the presidency, i'm thinking in particular that race in virginia. so they are impressing upon their colleagues, we need to
