>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY. WE ARE BACK WITH THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION, PETE BUTTIGIEG. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. DID YOU SEE AT THE AIRPORT HERE IN NEW YORK A JETBLUE PLANE DIPPING UP. IT TIPPED UP ON ITS WHEELS. IT POPPED A WHEELIE. YOU SAW THAT? >> Secretary Buttigieg: HEARD ABOUT THAT. >> Stephen: BECAUSE THE PHOTO IS QUITE ALARMING AND FUNNY. IT LITERALLY, WHEN YOU SEE THE PLANES ON THE TARMAC ALL THE TIME YOU THINK, WHY DON'T THEY JUST TIP UP? DO YOU KNOW QUESTION REGULAR THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION. >> Secretary Buttigieg: WEIGHT AND BALANCE IS A REALLY BIG DEAL ON AIRPLANES. THAT SITUATION IS BEING INVESTIGATED. ONE OF THE MANY, MANY THINGS THAT EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN AVIATION HAS TO QUALIFY ON. >> Stephen: I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING MORE IMPORTANT TO FINDING OUT WHY A PLANE POPPED A WHEELIE AT THE GATE. ME. YOU'RE THE EXPERT. THAT MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE THE TRAIN. NOW, YOU WERE RECENTLY IN ALASKA. I'VE NEVER BEEN. I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO GO. I HEAR IT'S INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL UP THERE. DID SENATOR MURKOWSKI TAKE YOU TO ICE BAR? BECAUSE WHEN SECRETARY OF ENERGY GRANT HOME WAS ON THE SHOW, SHE SAID SHE HAD A REALLY GOOD TIME WITH LISA McCARTHY. LISA MURKOWSKI. IT'S A BAR CARVED DEVICE. DID YOU DO THAT? >> Secretary Buttigieg: NO. WHERE ARE YOU GOING HERE? >> Secretary Buttigieg: IT'S A FIVE AND HALF HOUR FERRY RIDE. AND GRANHOLM GOT AN ICE BAR? >> Stephen: WHERE YOU WANT A FIVE AND A HALF HOUR FERRY? >> Secretary Buttigieg: THE SEAPLANE COULDN'T TAKE OFF WHICH IS A COMMON ISSUE. THERE ARE COMMUNITIES IN ALASKA FOR THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET TO THEM IS BY A PLANE OR A FAIRY. SOME TOWNS NOT EVEN THAT. I WAS TALKING TO THE MAYOR, THE ONLY WAY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET UP CAR WAS HAVE IT SET THERE ON A PLANE. THEY HAD LET THE AIR OUT OF THE TIRES AND TAKE OFF THE TOP. THESE ARE NOT WEALTHY FOLKS. ALASKA NATIVE COMMUNITIES. WHEN YOU SEE THE UNIQUE NEEDS THEY HAVE COME YOU SEE WHAT IT TAKES. MILK CAN BE 18 BUCKS AND SOME OF THESE ENTITIES. WHAT IT TAKES JUST TO SHIP BASIC THINGS THERE. THINGS HE WOULD NEVER IMAGINE. GOING BY AIR FREIGHT. I SIGNED WAREHOUSES OF ALASKA AIR LIKE TOILET PAPER. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO SHIP THEM. IT'S EXTRAORDINARY. EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT THRILLED WHEN I GOT A CALL FROM SENATOR MURKOWSKI 5:30 IN THE MORNING OF THE PLANE WASN'T TAKING OFF AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE FERRY RIDE, IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO GET PERSPECTIVE AND THE CHALLENGES. WHY THEY NEED SUPPORT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDING WHICH THANKS TO PRESIDENT BIDEN WE ARE DELIVERING. >> Stephen: WE LAST TALKED ABOUT MIKE JOHNSON WAS NOT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE. NOW MIKE JOHNSON'S SPEAKER CURRENT HOUSE. HIS RECORD ON LGBTQ ISSUES IS, WHAT'S THE WORD, AWFUL. SO HOW DO YOU WORK WITH THE GUY WHO ARGUED THAT SAME-SEX RELATIONS ARE QUOTE THE DARK HARBINGER OF CHAOS AND SEXUAL ANARCHY THEY COULD DO EVEN THE STRONGEST REPUBLIC." >> Secretary Buttigieg: LOOK. I'LL WORK WITH ANYBODY WHO CAN HELP US GET GOOD TRANSPORTATION AVAILABL TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE WE'LL JUST HAVE HIM OVER. OUR LITTLE HOUSE ISN'T THAT FAR FROM THE CAPITOL. IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN I COME HOME FROM WORK AND CHASTEN IS BRINGING THE KIDS HOME FROM DAY CARE OR VICE VERSA, AND ONE OF US IS GETTING THE MAC AND CHEESE READY. THE OTHER ONE IS MICROWAVING THOSE LITTLE FREEZER MEATBALLS THAT ARE A GREAT CHEAT IF YOU HAVE TODDLERS IN THE FEED THEM QUICKLY. THEY WON'T TAKE THEIR SHOES OFF AND ONE NEEDS A DIAPER CHANGE. EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT IS CHAOS. BUT NOTHING ABOUT THAT IS DARK. THE LOVE OF GOD IS IN THAT HOU HOUSE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> Stephen: WELL, TOO BAD FOR MIKE JOHNSON. AND GREAT FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS LEGAL, IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL, IT'S THRIVING. AND IN FACT YOU AND CHASTEN RECENTLY CELEBRATED YOUR FIFTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY THIS SUMMER. DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVORITE MEMORIES FROM THAT DAY? >> Secretary Buttigieg: OH, SO MANY. OUR FRIENDS, AT ONE PONT THE POWER WENT OUT AND IT WAS RIGHT -- WE HAD A FOOD TRUCK, A TACO TRUCK. THEY PLUGGED IT IN OR CHANGED WHAT IT WAS PLUGGED INTO RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF "LIVIN' ON A PRAYER" WHEN EVERYBODY WAS DANCING. PEOPLE DIDN'T SKIP A BEAT. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. NOW I'M A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE BECAUSE AROUND THE TIME OF OUR ANNIVERSARY, I HAD TO BE IN JAPAN FOR A G7 TRANSPORTATION MEETING. WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A NICE DINNER WHILE WE ARE TOGETHER IN NEW YORK. HOPEFULLY A REMINDER ABOUT HOW EXCITED WE WERE FOR THAT ANNIVERSARY. >> Stephen: SECRETARY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. GOOD LUCK WITH THE TRANSPORTATION MONEY. SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION, PETE BUTTIGIEG, EVERYBODY. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH WILLIE NELSON.
