Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stars in family road-trip series with corporate sponsors

Transportation secretary Sean Duffy and his wife, Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Rachel Campos Duffy, embarked on a cross-country family road-trip that has been turned into a six-episode YouTube series titled “The Great American Road Trip.” The show follows the couple and their nine children as they tour iconic locations such as Philadelphia’s Liberty Bell and Fort Worth, Texas, with Rachel delivering witty remarks and the kids reacting to their parents’ antics.

Major corporate sponsors—Boeing, Toyota, Waymo and Royal Caribbean Group—each contributed roughly $1 million, prompting concerns about a cabinet official promoting companies he oversees. The series mixes light-hearted family moments, cameo appearances by figures like Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, and promotional plugs for the sponsors. Critics note the potential ethical implications of a government-funded program featuring private-sector advertising. The episodes are available on YouTube later today.
