Thank you very much for your support. 10, 28, 2, 23.

This is Deep State Radio, coming to you direct from our super secret studio in the third sub-basement of the Ministry of Snark in Washington, D.C. and from other undisclosed locations across America and around the world.

Once every six weeks or so, we try to do a high level discussion with a cabinet level official from the government, get a little

bit of audience interaction going on, and we are extremely delighted to have with us Secretary of Transportation,

Budajevich here.

We started high-level discussions of this sort,

I don't know, six, eight years ago ago and at the very first one of those discussions

there was this mayor from the Midwest that it was attracting a lot of attention

and now you're here that it was attracting a lot of attention.

And now you're here again.

So welcome very much.

The good glad to have you here.

Well, thanks for having.

So what we'll do is we'll talk for about 30 minutes and then we'll have some

Q&A so get ready for that so I'm going to come around with a microphone give you
