Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy gave a news conference on California 's high-speed rail project.

Video of the conference sounds like a hostile sports match, with near-constant waves of boos and chants.

Duffy tore into the project, arguing that it was wasteful and unaccountable.

The project, originally meant to conclude in 2020 , has no set end date.
