exact right amount of panic.

Well, I think it's time to fire Pete Buttigieg. And I'm reasonably pro-Buttigieg, and I'm also reasonably — not reasonably, I'm pro-paternal leave, right? Wouldn't want to threaten, you know, the idea that people can have parental leave. But at the same time, it is maybe the biggest problem in the country. And I don't think anybody's in charge, are they? Is anybody in charge?

I saw on Twitter somebody saying that the Secretary of Transportation is not really the person who's the right person to fix the trucking slash supply chain problem. Is that true? Can somebody tell me that? Just the first question is, does Buttigieg even have the portfolio and the power to be in charge of this problem? Because that's a good question, right? And if it's not him, who is it? And if we don't know who it is and it's the biggest problem, it's not the president. The president doesn't seem involved in any way. Who's working on the biggest problem?

I feel like Buttigieg has taken some responsibility for it, hasn't he? Somebody says power yes but portfolio no. I think that's the right answer. I think the answer is that Buttigieg could take control of it. You know, he could sort of — I'm sure he could get Biden to assign him the job of, you know, transportation czar of trucking and logistics or something. So I think you're right that maybe his job description is not exactly on point, but in a crisis it seems like he would be the one that you'd pick.

Now let me ask you this. If Trump were president, how would this supply chain problem look different? I feel like Trump would have solved this by now. I also feel a hashtag coming on. It's a little too long, but something along the lines of "Trump would have solved this by now." Because it, you know, look at the border problem. Trump would have solved that by now. There are a few things that we see that just look like obviously Trump would be the better choice, if only because he would be engaged and Biden doesn't seem to be. Look at what Trump might have done, right? We're just speculating here because we don't know. But here's something he might have done. Trump might have fired somebody, right? He might have fired somebody. I don't know if that's Buttigieg or somebody else. But I think you have to fire somebody. Like I feel like it now. Maybe there's nobody who's quite on point to be the right one to fire. But if there's nobody to fire, then at least you need to pick a czar to be in charge so you have somebody to fire later, right?

I think Trump would have written some executive orders to override any state regulations that were slowing things down. And now I've heard things such as there are not enough trucks because of environmental concerns of old trucks in California. Do you think Trump couldn't solve that problem? One EO just says, well, temporarily you can use any truck you want. Just temporarily, because it's a crisis. You don't think Trump would have done that? Just signed something that says temporarily we're not going to worry about California's regulations. Now it could be that the trucks just don't exist. You know, maybe the older trucks have been decommissioned and whatever else. So maybe there's just no play there. I don't know. But why don't we know that? Because nobody's in charge.

There's nobody in the government who says I'm in charge, let me give you an update. Here's what we're doing. Here's what's wrong. We've identified the problem. Here's the solution. We're working on it. Might take us a little time, but we've identified the problem. Somebody's in charge, and here's the solution we think will work. Where is all that? Right? Where's all of that? At the very least, I think a Trump administration would be keeping you up to date on what the hell is happening or even tell you what the problem was.

So I've been asking everybody for days now: describe what exactly is the problem. And luckily people who are well informed — the number of people who work in the field and are involved with logistics, some of them have interviewed employees at the docks — and with all this information, finally, finally I got really clear, detailed answers to why things are slowing down. Unfortunately all of the really clear, detailed answers of why the supply chain isn't working were different. That's right. Lots of experts weighing in, people who really know that they're actually working on it right now. The people in the field doing logistics, doing the shipping, unloading them, the people who are close to it, they really know. And so they told me what the problem was. Lots of them. All different.

What's that mean? What's it mean when everybody knows the problem but they'll have a different answer? What's that mean? Well, the smallest amount it means is that there's something going on. You know what it feels like? I don't think it is, so don't take this as a conspiracy. Let me tell you what it feels like. Tell me. Actually, see if anybody else says the same thing. What does it feel like is the problem? Not really, you know, there's no evidence of this, but what's it feel like? Boom. Tim Amaka on Locals got the right answer: war. It feels like when the Twin Towers got hit with airplanes and you didn't quite know who was doing it or who was behind it. It feels like war.

Specifically, let's see if you can take it to the next level. S
