Discussion with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy on U.S. Infrastructure and Shipbuilding

Published | Video Starts at 03:43

How do you, how is the President and yourself obviously included in this, going to make sure that the infrastructure investments we do make are much more accountable. So you mentioned the California high speed rail. It's been 16 years and $16 billion. Not one track is laid. Nothing. You have nothing for it. And if you're a liberal, you like liberals, love trains and littles, love subways and public transportation. You go look at New York, it is dirty, it's filthy, it's violent. (03:43–03:50)
