WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh May 12, 2021

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.280
<v Speaker 1>In a random acted journalism, the Los Angeles Times looked

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:07.200
<v Speaker 1>into the multibillion dollar high speed bullet train that is

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>supposed to fight global warming if it ever gets built

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and if anybody bothers to ride the thing. The high

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.759
<v Speaker 1>speed train is years behind the schedule. Just since two

0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 1>thousand eighteen, the cost has jumped from sixty four billion

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars to seventy seven billion dollars. More delays and cost

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>overruns are cumming. It's not even factoring in the coronavirus

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>to it. Among the problems the l A. Times reports

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>is the operating culture at the building services consultancy for

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>the train, a global company called WSP now Allegedly, employees

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>who tell the truth about problems with the California train

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>project are told to shut up and tow the companyline.

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>If they don't, they faced the coronavirus. A top executive

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>brought into work on the project says the people in

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>charge have no technical background. They never disclosed the real costs,

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:01.160
<v Speaker 1>so they don't tell the real truth. There's just a

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 1>bunch of politicians, and this expert says, the best thing

0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>that can be done with California's high speed train is

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>to cancel all the contracts and start over now. For

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>years I've told you this, high speed trains are trained

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>in nowhere. Never was a good idea, and it will

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>never be a good idea. The smartest thing to do

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>after canceling all the contracts would be to scrub the

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.240
<v Speaker 1>whole project and blame it on the coronavirus.
