Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do you remember California's high speed train, this multibillion dollar
train wreck. It was gonna link San Francisco and Los Angeles. Well,
there were red flags even before President Obama and Jerry
Brown agreed to do this. In two thousand ten of
Berkeley study revealed that California used bad information to predict

(00:20):
how many people would ride this train, but they went
down the tracks on it anyway, despite it having no sense. Now,
almost a decade later, California's high speed train is fifty
billion dollars over budget, nowhere near completion, and not even
high speed. It's worse than a boondoggle. It looks like
a massive high speed fraud. So President Trump has pulled

(00:43):
the plug on funding. He wants the state to refund
the federal government the billions they've already wasted, which, of
course has the current governor, Gavin Newsom spitting mad. He's suing.
He claims the money for the project is California's money,
and he wants it all. He says that President Trump
is only doing this because he's mad at California's immigration policy.

(01:06):
The thing about this that everybody gets wrong, it's not
California's money, and it's not the United States government's money.
It's our money, and we're sick and tired of it
being used on projects like this that never end up
passing muster and never accomplish what they're supposed to accomplish.
Build the wall. Please take the money and build the wall,
and actually do something that makes sense for the country.
