The Bullet Train
But to the news section of this, in California, they have ended his 17-year high-speed rail project. So finally, the two-decade rail project, have they laid any of it? Has any of it been built at all? I think it was like a mile. There's nothing in Bakersfield.
There's nothing. So I was riding the bullet train in China, and I was coming from Beijing back down to Shanghai and up to Guangzhou. And we were talking about it, and I realized very quickly that high-speed rail is not effective for the U.S. We have entirely too large of a land mass.
It might work on the West Coast, like from L.A. to Seattle or something, or maybe Portland to San Diego maybe, maybe to Phoenix, maybe. But the country is entirely too large for any meaningful high-speed rail. It doesn't work.
Like, it will never work. It will never be a thing. And I think it's the next – what was that Obama grift, the Solarian – what was it called? Solaria? Solaria, yeah.
Solaria, whatever it was. Solandra. Yeah, it's just basically an absolute grift.
Solandra. And it'll never – it doesn't make sense for the continental U.S., United States. It won't make sense.
West Coast, maybe. East Coast, you already have Amtrak, and it's already congested as it is, so I don't really see a high-speed train being necessary because it's too next to each other. Like, it works in China, and it works in China very well.
And I actually really enjoyed my experience on the bullet trains. It was really nice. I've got to be honest with you.
It was good. A country like Japan, the bullet train in Japan is amazing, but Japan is also like the size of a thimble. I mean, it works great when you're moving between very, very – in Japan, going from Tokyo, going to the south of Japan, you can get on the bullet train, and it's awesome.
