Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg appeared on the DC narrative shaping program hosted by swamp gatekeeper Chris Wallace. Within the interview Buttigieg was questioned about why West Coast port backups are worse now than before the White House announced their solution to operate ports 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Buttigieg proclaimed the ports are being impacted by the pandemic, and ships stuck in China are the reason why ships are sitting off the coast of California. Yeah, try to square that circular logic. LOL. The scale of incompetence, even in common sense politispeak, is off the charts. The illogical statements by this guy are legendary; however, he outdid himself today.
Eventually Pete weaves his way through fourteen nonsensical catch phrases to get to a point where he proclaims nothing in the supply chain will start being more efficient until everyone is vaccinated. And yes, it appears that he is so stuck in pretzel-speak, Buttigieg actually believes that.
All of that said, I wouldn’t post this for review if it wasn’t for the ‘hard-hitting‘ segment from Wallace that comes right after. You just gotta watch (prompted):
.
The southern border is in crisis, food inflation is skyrocketing, transportation and logistical supply chains are a mess because of emissions and regulation, store shelves are empty, gasoline is ridiculously expensive, the blue-collar working class is getting crushed, the vaccination mandate is wreaking havoc on jobs, airlines and employment for first responders, overall national anxiety is at a high point, the economy is in a free-fall and two-thirds of all Americans now say the administration is incompetent. Along comes Chris Wallace with the hard-hitting question about what Pete and his husband are doing with their twins for Halloween.
Lets Go Brandon !
As noted, and as previously outlined, the issues with the backlog of the California ports have absolutely nothing to do with rapid unloading of ships and container vessels. The issue is the inability of California truckers to move those containers. The problem is a shortage of CA emission compliant internal transportation trucks to move the containers out of the port and into the U.S. mainland.
As a result… the politically expedient goal to get rid of the optical problem (the ships) by offloading containers into a California port system, that is already overwhelmed with tens-of-thousands of containers, is only making the original issue exponentially worse. More people are now starting to understand the internal issue that has been created by recent California laws, rules and regulations.
Daniel Greenfield at Front Page Magazine has a solid outline of the emission compliance issues and the problem of independent truckers not being able to work in California:
Front Page Magazine – […] Over the summer, the California Trucking Association actually went to the Supreme Court to fight AB5 and allow owners and operators to use independent contractors. The CTA listed 70,000 owner operators. In the years since AB5, Ubers have become scarcer and more expensive, which is what the law was actually designed to do, but the consequences to the trucking industry have been far worse albeit invisible to most people until now. While truckers are still protected from AB5, many in the industry are not willing to bet their future on SCOTUS.
AB5 was not only the assault on the trucking industry by California Democrats who were aggressively trying to unionize the industry and to impose environmental regulations on it.
Last year, the California Air Resources Board issued a press release boasting that it had taken a “bold step to reduce truck pollution”. The bold step required switching to electric trucks.
“We are showing the world that we can move goods, grow our economy and finally dump dirty diesel,” Jared Blumenfeld, California’s Secretary for Environmental Protection, sneered.
[…] Last year, California’s DMV began refusing to register thousands of trucks with an estimated 100,000 trucks under threat. With “green” trucks costing $70,000 more, this was a non-starter for already troubled independent owner-operators and even larger companies.
[…] Biden called for ports to operate around the clock, but that’s not going to magically bring back thousands of trucks or truckers. California Democrats still haven’t changed their regulations and without that, there’s no incentive or even legal structure that would allow trucks to operate. (read more)
Just think, we’d have natural herd immunity had we had therapeutics like Ivermectin made available to those that need it.
Then what would have been the point of the virus and vaccines?
That clot shot was made before the virus was unleashed on the world. It’s one giant conspiracy.
True, crappy we didn’t find out earlier We could have thwarted these criminals.
Prissy Chrissy and Wifey Petey are hard core Marxist trying their best to fool the people. FJB!
Wonder if they advance ordered all the red diapers for changing the twins?
Grandpa is looking up from hell and smiling.
Dayum. He actually SAID that!
” Won’t end til everyone’s vaccinated”.
Unbelievable.
Between this statement of Petes’ and Bidens’ ” 8 hour workday at the Ports” we’re about to find out just how STUPID Dem Voters *really* are.
Very stupid. Irredeemably stupid. Hopelessly stupid.
Well, gens X, Y, and A didn’t want Boomers…so got joe and this doofus…
Gen Z and maybe A?
So therefore, send them your children to be edumacated…. We have a lot of stupid going every which way
He kind of did say it. I was screaming OMG at the TV this morning when he said it.
AND … he claimed we needed a $3.5T infrastructure bill passed … most of which is “human infrastructure” consisting of useless jobs lecturing people about how racist they are or about how they are destroying the planet by cooking with gas.
I fail to see how Biden’s “infrastructure” of lecturing white people about their systemic racism is going to move cargo?
And speaking of infrastructure… CA has the highest gasoline (and diesel) taxes in the United States … and the most crumbling, congested, roads in the Nation. Someone please square THAT circular logic!
EXCUSE ME! We don’t have circles and squares anymore. We have genderless, shapeless geometric shaped thingies. Shape-shifting, non-threatening, non-binary outlines of objects. We will no longer use the words square, rectangular, oval, round, or triangular. Please! Stop the madness and get on board with the new illogical logic.
The point is, they are not going to allow cargo to move until they get what they want. As in: nice little economy you got here. Be a shame if something happened to it.
AND … he also claimed that the closure of a ChiCom Port due to a COVID outbreak was CAUSING the backup in Long Beach! Wha wha whaaaat!? So the inability for the ChiComs to ship goods … leads to a backup of ships in Long Beach!?
And Chrissy Wallace just sat there and swallowed Pete’s load of crap … ? Chrissy sure swallows a LOT of leftwing loads
…. we’re about to find out just how stupid the fascist-Marxist “democrats'” sociopathically-simpleton supporters really are …..
Or at least are the 40-ish million that, in 2020, actually cast votes for Gropey-Zhou cum Poop-In-Pants.
Don’t want to ruin it for you, but they are really stupid!
Just can’t make this Crazy Stuff up…
I’m tired of trying to deal with a real health issue compounded by the sheer stupidity being blathered daily to the American people by the failed leadership of the Democratic Socialist Party.
Explain that lack of logic to WE The People…. Please! DS Pete.
I did notice he kept saying we need “infrastructure” which of course is the Democrat line. Sure seems to me that we had “infrastructure” just fine back in December of last year. Gee, I wonder what changed since then?
Democrat “Infrastructure” = a full (Government) employment program for Marxist FREAKS. Nothing more.
An interview between little petey and chrissy is a classical definition of a “complete waste of time”. The only value is to prove how clueless that they both are.
Neither is clueless at all.
I detected a LOT of sexual tension and pandering (by Chrissy Wallace) in that interview.
Kind of like trying too hard to make the girl like you by laughing at all her jokes and agreeing enthusiastically with everything she says
F**k you you little fa gg ot.
I’m A Twenty Year Truck Driver, I Will Tell You Why America’s “Shipping Crisis” Will Not End

Great article! Best thing I have read about this problem. It makes sense that since most containers are put on trucks run by independents who get paid for the load not the hour – most independents are not going to bother showing up at a port to wait around 12 hours to get a container. After their expenses they are not just making less minimum wage it is costing them money – they are out-of-pocket. The freight companies have no incentive to invest in the infrastructure to solve the problem because they are making more money than ever with the way things are.

Bloviating bastard.
I wonder if former Seal Team Sixers ever get together.
Yep new mission!!
Hey, here’s an idea, let’s track this bald-headed freak down, lasso his butt, hog-tie him, and jab millions of doses of clotshots into his worthless carcass. He can have all the clotshots. Every one of them he wants to give to us. Each one of them. Then throw him into a cell, brick him up with just a slot for food and water to be shoved in three times a day and let him rot.
Finally, a solution!!
You know what it needs?
It needs more cowbell!
?
More cowbell please! 🙂
Here ya go!
What the hell do vaccinations have to do with ships lined up?
Extortion.
That’s what I was thinking.
It’s a complete non sequitur.
Is there ANYBODY in this administration that has any credibility at all?
and if chrissy wallace were honest, he would have asked Ms. Pete to explain how the two are connected. Also how does a port shut down in China cause ships to be stacked up to unload in LA?
Nothing. Alfred E. Neuman is simply parroting nonsense the totalitarian deep-state needle nazis programmed into a teleprompter for him to read. Afterwards, it was back to getting bent over by his man. That’s what’s going on here.
NOTHING.
That’s how you know they have no plans to fix the problem……. assuming there’s anyone out there who still thought they *might* have a plan.
They could not be making it more obvious that things are going exactly as planned.
Go Make me take your poison jab
I dare you
That silly thing called
Unintended consequences
They will learn the meaning the hard way
Chrissy just had to show that he’s down with gay parenting, ya know?
It’s as if Chrissy was “presenting himself” as zoologists speak of animals’ pre-mating rituals.
The poor babies are traffic cones at the nonexistent vaccine lines and mummy and daddy can wear the DUNCE caps or the KKK caps for DIMs.
Buttgig is the poster boy for the Dunning-Kruger effect. Actually, the entire administration is.
Plenty of sharp people on the dem side, sharp and evil. But agree, can’t actually think of any in the Biden admin.
O my Pete u are really special. You know nothing about transportation or supply chains or port management. What a mess Biden has wrought
Racist! Pete is gay, Kamal is brown. What the hell do supply chains have to do with anything?
We’re ushering in the new world order and you’re complaining about supply chains? Next you’ll be complaining about energy and heating your home this winter. Focus!!
““We are showing the world that we can move goods, grow our economy and finally dump dirty diesel,” Jared Blumenfeld, California’s Secretary for Environmental Protection, sneered.”
He’s a raging leftist going back many years wiggling his way up the food chain from activist with left wing groups to parks director checking all the right boxes until someone was dumb enough to get him into his current position.
He’s so full of himself he has his own web page.
https://jaredblumenfeld.com/resume
Why are so many guys named Jared total tools?
Ah, this is the trailer for the next Dumb and Dumber sequel with Lloyd Wallace interviewing Harry Buttigieg, presumably to confirm that Harry Buttigieg really is the stupidest of the pair and shouldn’t be anywhere near a government job in any capacity whatsoever.
The conflating fallacies and misinformation he’s babbling over cable aside, I can only imagine how he expects to become impregnated via his colon.
F.U. Pete
Second Amendment. It’s what stands between us and tyranny.
So, what’s the problem Buttercup?
Well then, it’s all over. No more supplies ever because I ain’t getting vaccinated. FU!
“Pretending” as “little pete” (no-caps intentional) so adeptly demonstrates has now replaced “The Peter Principle” of yesteryear…
They are holding Red States hostage until they fall in line.
Considering Florida is offering to take ships, hopefully that won’t happen!
The Biden administration wants to look good for the global summit in Europe. California is towing the line for the greenies. No older trucks and no owner operator’s. Gov Newsome is one of Biden’s darlings and his nose is stuck you know where! If you notice there is no lines at gulf or east coast ports.
They want all electric trucks and busses, but if you go back a few months Newsome got rid of all the electric busses! It seems there is a problem with those wonderful batteries made and controlled by China. China is also controlling a lot of the west coast ports. A good share of the containers going into the ports are Chinese. IE China Shipping, COSCO . We need to turn off the China spigot ASAP or we are doomed.
I laughed out loud at that headline.
Someone should beat some sense into the smug little Fudgepacker.
These statements coming from people who have been jabbed, should be reason enough to avoid them. Their brains are already rotting.
Could chrissy have been any more nauseatingly gushing?
There are more trucks going out of California than there ever have been. The trains rolling down I40 are many miles long and double-stacked with those shipping containers. If there is really a backlog then that is exactly what it is – a backlog.
As tragic as this all is,,when I read this I started laughing. Pete is such a farce.
All Heretics must completely adopt the tenants of covidatrianism, and take the sacred injections, and boosters, for ever until death.
*These* people are “Extremely dangerous to our Democracy”
What a f*kng idiot.

It ain’t no “vaccination.”
It does not work, does not prevent one from getting covid, does not reduce the chances of transmission. In fact, probably the opposite. Israel and Taiwan, more deaths from the clot shot than from the virus. Plenty of good treatments. No need for an EMERGENCY authorization. No need for the pandemic. This whole “pandemic” is a charade. Enough already.

Buttman is full of you know what.
Don’t worry Pete, you’ll be back on your knees in no time.
Interesting story from here in so CA. Friends of friends recently relocated to Tennessee. It was heartbreaking to see them leave but a business opportunity cropped up for them……
Long story short, the husband had invested $100K each for two 18 wheeler trucks within the past few years. Maybe that’s chicken feed for someone like Buttigieg and his husband but not for folks like us. When the CA regulations kicked in for diesel trucks here in the people’s republic of Californistan, they were forced to move their whole family out of state because business here was nonviable.
Let’s go Brandon.
I have always hated Communism and Communists.
Since the Obamination was forced on us, but especially after all the BS Pres. Trump was put through, I now absolutely hate, loathe, despise, detest and so forth. They are repulsive, malevolent, disgusting, revolting, perverted, immoral, amoral, debauched, etc.
FJB!
That will then be “never” as the non-vaxxed are not about to yield.
Why are Congress and White House Staff exempt from the mRNA injections? Why is the Post Office exempt? Or some of the unions in certain states who donate millions to corrupt Democrat politicians like Newsom here in CA? Why are millions of illegals pouring over the border unjabbed, and resettled and given $$ by the Biden Administration? Why have over 200 members of Congress taken Ivemectin, according to Dr. Pierre Cordy, which is not available to the average citizen?
The supply chain issue is caused by the Democrat policies (for example the passing of AB5 in CA which effectively ended independent trucking), and has nothing to do with the “unvaxxed” but they hate us and will use any excuse to persecute us. Get used to it PureBloods. Make note of who these people are. Take names. When SHTF we come for them.
…… and why are hospital health care workers, including doctors, taking Ivermectin; but patient not allowed to get script?
definitely in the top 10 most punchable face in this administration.
let’s go brandon!
Speaking of twins, surely little Chrissy and Pete:– as queer-looking a pair of fascist-Marxist poofter barstewards as ever breathed; — are as if conjoined?
But as for Poofter Pete and his “partner’s” purchased pair of innocents?
Call in the UN-Gang to deal with such child abuse writ so large.
West Coast Port Backlog Unlikely to Be Resolved Until Every American is Vaccinated
…..sounds like extortion to me
Extortion – is the practice of obtaining benefit through coercion
I was turning on the tv this morning, to watch the sportsball.
And the first channel I saw was this dumbass spouting some kind of gibberish.
After 10 hours of sportsball, and 2 hours of trick or treating with my family,
I still remember how idiotic that 5 seconds was
Then I guess it won’t be resolved BootiePlug.
” nothing in the supply chain will start being more efficient until everyone is vaccinated”
Translation: the USA will continue to slide toward becoming Venezuela, until everyone has the death jab, after which the USA will become Communist China.
Butthead’s comment proves it’s a deliberate stall, to hold food and goods hostage against Americans until the poison vaxx is forced into everyone and until every child is murdered by these fiends. biowepon.
If they can get away with blaming the shortage of food & goods on the unjabbed, then they can deny the unjabbed the ability to purchase food & goods.
Do you think you’re telling any of us something we don’t already know?
Or are you trying to sway the hoards of open-minded Leftists that frequent this site?
Put down the fkg keyboard and DO something.
Hmm Bridgette. We do keyboard stuff here. That’s what we’re limited to while we’re on CTH, and hey, it’s better than nothing. What we do off the keyboard is not visible here.
Solution? Work on securing a food supply for your family and local community.
A broader solution? Truckers can refuse to service blue states demanding passes and red state farmers can do likewise.
California, Washington, Oregon and lots of blue states have great climate and fertile ground for growing their own crops. The state of Washington is well known for the quality of its beef. They can feed themselves–and clean their own streets.
They ain’t going easy on the beef…..cow farts, ya know, climate change bullsht…….what a friggin’ joke. But, it’s in the current trillions dollar legislation.
Get educated & have a GREAT Life. ???
But Washington wants to get rid of beef because of cow flatulence being a prime contributor to climate change. Hope they like bugs.
Pssst…Don’t tell them that termites are a huge source of methane. More than cows.
Have no fear, the climate zealots are forecasting more termites BECAUSE of global warming.
See how that works. Can’t fix the problem, but can project that if the problem is fixed, the problem goes away.
The picture of the leftist being his own proctologist comes to mind.
I was trying to wake up with my morning coffee, and share a thought with like-minded friends. You are obviously NOT one, and have no idea what I do. Your comments seems to be a personal attack, and when the mods no longer want me to post here, I’m sure they’ll let me know.
Look for a Citizens Rights group in your area. Grass roots, moral. Our central Oregon community is approaching 4,000 local members.
And what is it that you are doing details please.
How about you start by not buying ANYTHING else from Chai-na? I bet you can’t do it.
It’s my humble opinion, but is there anybody on joe’s staff with an IQ above a single digit?
It’s not Joe’s staff, it’s Susan snd O’s.
Anyone else have trouble hearing the audio? I had to rely on the closed captions although I was able to catch Wallace’s hard-hitting follow-up question (what will Mayor Pete’s adoptive twins will be dressing up as on Halloween?).
Both of these people DISGUST me in ways that I cannot express on this forum without getting perma-banned.

This is what is in the “vaccine”.
wow, made me cry. I know it’s true because it ties together a lot of why this and why that. we live in extraordinarily evil times. transhumanism has always been a red flag and it seems I’ve been hearing that word a lot lately. And why they’re so rabid about getting everyone the … even though it’s not an epidemic and survival is not worth worrying about. Their Brave New World. Huxley warned us a long time ago.
Pete’s claim that supply can’t keep up with the “incredible” demand is demonstrably false. The suppliers in China have no problem keeping up with demand witness the hundreds of container ships from China sitting off the shore of Los Angeles and Long Beach waiting to be unloaded.
The problem is the U.S. domestic logistics system has completely fallen apart and there is no good excuse for it. If the United States cannot provide the logistics to off loads the goods that China sends unabated to it how could it ever win a war with China?
Not that I would ever want a war with China but wars are won and lost on logistics! It would have been nice if Chris Wallace had challenged Pete on his false claim. It would be more interest in hearing his response to that than what his “children” are going to dress up as on Halloween.
Ever notice American made goods (such as a Treadmill) do not sit on a ship waiting to get into a harbor?
Yep, my fantastic RecTeq smoker took less than a week for freight delivery deep into Idaho mountains. Yet the China-made freezer I was trying to order since the spring is finally available for pre-order to be delivered in May 2022. Ain’t it grand to be so dependent on another country?! Thanks, Obama, for your ‘service economy’. {spit, spit, spit}
Yes, I know this process started much, much earlier, but to me, this evil f@#$er epitomizes the malicious glee with which they all push this country down this slope, P(iss)BUH.
Yes, every one of those cont5ainers could be filled with bombs for all we know. It is a dire situation militarily for sure.
But but but…..Trump…Covid….Vaccines….Child Care…..Infrastructure….
No matter the question, the answers are always the same.
THIS !
Chris had to get his bona fides in on acceptance of the absurd.
