Don't worry, your tax dollars didn't pay for Sean Duffy's vacay: It was the OTHER kind of corruption

[00:00:00]Inflation is soaring, which means gas prices are going up, transportation costs are exploding, and our most cherished airlines are up in heaven now charging the angels for water. Now, you know what? Normally, I'd be worried, but thank God we have Transportation Secretary Shawn Duffy, who I'm sure is laser focused on fixing it.

[00:00:19]>> Transportation Secretary Shawn Duffy is starring in a new reality show encouraging people to hit the road.

[00:00:26]Duffy and his wife Rachel Campos Duffy of Fox News met on MTV's Road Rules Allst Star, and they and their nine children are channeling that past in this five-part YouTube series.

[00:00:40]>> Wow. First off, nine kids.

[00:00:44]I guess we know someone who's not underbabied.

[00:00:48]Now, you might be upset that your tax dollars were spent on sending Shawn Duffy and his entire Wuang clan on an all expenses paid trip around the country, but don't worry, you didn't put the bill. It was the other kind of corruption. Duffy says no taxpayer dollars were involved, neither he nor his family were paid, and sponsors picked up the production tab. But looking at some of those corporate backers, government watchd dogs warn that the secretary is enjoying a road trip that appears to have been funded by the very industries his agency overseas.

[00:01:25]>> Wow. I mean, Boeing just can't help being part of a disaster.

[00:01:31]Look, if you're furious about a cabinet member being paid by companies he regulates to take a road trip in the middle of a gas crisis caused by his administration, if that really makes you want to scream, please don't because the president is blinking right now.
