Ingrid Centurion interviews Patricio Feder, a business strategist to discuss the Trump's administration termination of $4 billion in unspent federal funding for California's High-Speed Rail (HSR) project, often referred to as the "train to nowhere". This decision, announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy on July 16, 2025, followed a Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) compliance review. Duffy cited 16 years of project failures, including no completed high-speed track and rising costs, as justification for the termination. Ingrid describes the project as a mismanaged and over-budget blaming California officials and the state's mismanagement. Patricio called the project "disastrously overpriced" and stated that liberal always do this. Their great ideas "the amazing railroad does not exist, and never will". California Governor Gavin Newsom and the California High-Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) countered the actions, and filed a federal lawsuit to fight the termination of the grant agreements.
