O DONNELL It should ░░░░░░░░ called the Biden Tunnel ░░░░░░░░ is the most complex ░░░░░░░░ project funded by Joe ░░░░░░░░ It will provide a ░░░░░░░░ tunnel across the Hudson ░░░░░░░░ between New York City ░░░░░░░░ New Jersey one of ░░░░░░░░ most important interstate links ░░░░░░░░ the country As the ░░░░░░░░ traffic has increased across ░░░░░░░░ Hudson River over the ░░░░░░░░ 50 years there has ░░░░░░░░ been one additional lane ░░░░░░░░ to that crossing New ░░░░░░░░ Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan ░░░░░░░░ 24 years in the ░░░░░░░░ was a champion of ░░░░░░░░ tunnel that never got ░░░░░░░░ so were some New ░░░░░░░░ governors New York City ░░░░░░░░ no one could get ░░░░░░░░ done no one Then ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden Construction began ░░░░░░░░ year on the new ░░░░░░░░ For the next 100 ░░░░░░░░ people will be driving ░░░░░░░░ that tunnel and they ░░░░░░░░ have no idea who ░░░░░░░░ that They should call ░░░░░░░░ the Biden Tunnel Secretary ░░░░░░░░ Buttigieg is back with ░░░░░░░░ And you know Donald ░░░░░░░░ is going to take ░░░░░░░░ for that tunnel Buttigieg ░░░░░░░░ I mean look we ░░░░░░░░ created a pipeline of ░░░░░░░░ projects that will play ░░░░░░░░ over the next few ░░░░░░░░ When I called projects ░░░░░░░░ the Hudson River tunnel ░░░░░░░░ cathedrals of our infrastructure ░░░░░░░░ did not say that ░░░░░░░░ because it is a ░░░░░░░░ word for something big ░░░░░░░░ said it bearing in ░░░░░░░░ that the thing about ░░░░░░░░ world s great cathedrals ░░░░░░░░ the hands that laid ░░░░░░░░ cornerstones of those cathedrals ░░░░░░░░ t even around 100 ░░░░░░░░ later when other hands ░░░░░░░░ the Keystone And while ░░░░░░░░ of the projects were ░░░░░░░░ like the streetscape project ░░░░░░░░ make intersections safer really ░░░░░░░░ be done in one ░░░░░░░░ two construction seasons others ░░░░░░░░ working at warp speed ░░░░░░░░ the work of a ░░░░░░░░ or more But President ░░░░░░░░ deserves the credit for ░░░░░░░░ these things happen because ░░░░░░░░ many others before him ░░░░░░░░ and failed to get ░░░░░░░░ done I will admit ░░░░░░░░ of the few times ░░░░░░░░ I was fooled by ░░░░░░░░ Trump was when I ░░░░░░░░ a mayor and he ░░░░░░░░ he would do a ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure package I thought ░░░░░░░░ not It s good ░░░░░░░░ both parties would like ░░░░░░░░ see it happen Why ░░░░░░░░ t he do that ░░░░░░░░ it seems to be ░░░░░░░░ he talks about all ░░░░░░░░ time Of course they ░░░░░░░░ t But Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ And it was an ░░░░░░░░ thing to watch especially ░░░░░░░░ the bipartisan nature of ░░░░░░░░ deal really specifically vindicated ░░░░░░░░ model of how to ░░░░░░░░ things done in this ░░░░░░░░ at a time when ░░░░░░░░ said That is just ░░░░░░░░ how it works anymore ░░░░░░░░ what resulted is even ░░░░░░░░ things people said were ░░░░░░░░ had happened Of course ░░░░░░░░ have said it was ░░░░░░░░ impossible to do this ░░░░░░░░ another thing they told ░░░░░░░░ growing up it was ░░░░░░░░ was for union jobs ░░░░░░░░ manufacturing jobs to come ░░░░░░░░ to the industrial Midwest ░░░░░░░░ places like where I ░░░░░░░░ up They told us ░░░░░░░░ was all done O ░░░░░░░░ Well we didn t ░░░░░░░░ think that that was ░░░░░░░░ action.”
