Transportation Secretary Duffy in Los Angeles talking about the High-Speed Rail project

Published | Video Starts at 35:10

No one here was responsible for wasting your money. No one here. And they're yelling at us, chanting at us, because they're angry. They want a rail project, but they should go somewhere else. To the people who are making the decisions that have wasted your money, that have flushed it down a toilet, they should ask the question, who didn't build my rail? Who got rich? What consultants? What politicians? What politicians? Husbands got rich off of this money. That's the questions they should ask. But they have every right to be angry, just not at us, but at Democrats, at Gavin Newsom and at the High Speed Rail Authority. (35:10–35:34)
