0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember California's high speed train, this multibillion dollar

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>train wreck. It was gonna link San Francisco and Los Angeles. Well,

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>there were red flags even before President Obama and Jerry

0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:16.640
<v Speaker 1>Brown agreed to do this. In two thousand ten of

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>Berkeley study revealed that California used bad information to predict

0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>how many people would ride this train, but they went

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>down the tracks on it anyway, despite it having no sense. Now,

0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>almost a decade later, California's high speed train is fifty

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>billion dollars over budget, nowhere near completion, and not even

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>high speed. It's worse than a boondoggle. It looks like

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a massive high speed fraud. So President Trump has pulled

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the plug on funding. He wants the state to refund

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.440
<v Speaker 1>the federal government the billions they've already wasted, which, of

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>course has the current governor, Gavin Newsom spitting mad. He's suing.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>He claims the money for the project is California's money,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>and he wants it all. He says that President Trump

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>is only doing this because he's mad at California's immigration policy.

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>The thing about this that everybody gets wrong, it's not

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.839
<v Speaker 1>California's money, and it's not the United States government's money.

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 1>It's our money, and we're sick and tired of it

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>being used on projects like this that never end up

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>passing muster and never accomplish what they're supposed to accomplish.

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>Build the wall. Please take the money and build the wall,

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and actually do something that makes sense for the country.
