EARLY Access [Video] Shawn Ryan Show #251 with Secretary of Transportation Duffy

Sean Duffy is the 20th U.S. Secretary of Transportation, confirmed by the Senate in January 2025 and sworn in on January 28, 2025. A former Republican Congressman representing Wisconsin's 7th District from 2011 to 2019, Duffy served on the House Financial Services Committee and chaired its Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations. 

Before politics, he was a district attorney in Ashland County with a 90% conviction rate, a champion lumberjack winning titles like the 1994 Lumberjack World Championship in speed climbing, and a reality TV star on MTV's The Real World: Boston(1997) and Road Rules: All Stars (1998). 

Post-Congress, Duffy worked as a lobbyist at BGR Group, co-hosted Fox Business's The Bottom Line, and contributed to CNN before his Cabinet appointment. 

As Secretary, he has prioritized safety reforms following incidents like a 2025 mid-air collision, opposed congestion pricing in New York by threatening federal fund cuts over subway crime, and advocated for reverting fuel economy standards while restricting funds to non-compliant local governments on immigration policies. 

Since July 9, 2025, he has also served as acting NASA administrator. 

A graduate of St. Mary's College of Maryland (marketing) and William Mitchell College of Law, Duffy co-authored All American Christmas (2021) with his wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy. Father of nine, he champions family values, conservative policies, and infrastructure innovation.

How can we create steel manufacturing in a way that minimizes pollution given that nothing will ever be 100% perfect

What if Air Traffic Controllers were owned by the airports rather than the government?

Baylor is also an awesome Christian University! Top 40 law school. Undergraduate in top lists in many categories. My daughter is enrolled. SMU and TCU not so much. They are pretty much in name only. Great schools but not really Christian anymore.

Where are the greatest country in the world because of our freedom and our Christian values not because of the things we have.

When I saw Shawn receive his gift from Secretary Duffy , my imagination flashed to Shawn in a (Jason Bourne type of movie)

All these interviews do is fuel rage. The waste and lies of prior administrations should be broadcast around the world. Every one of them should be held personally responsible and accountable for the trillions wasted on NOTHING!!!

My siblings and I took care of my parents at the end of their lives. It was difficult but an honor to provide care and companionship to them . I understand completely what Sec Duffy is talking about.

Who would ever know he did lumberjack sports if you had not interviewed him! It is awesome to learn the real person! Lumberjacking sports are incredible that require endurance, stability, strength and huge part of American history of logging! He is real!
