1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Coughing up blood. That is what East Palestine residents are 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: now saying about their health conditions after this toxic derailment 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: that happened in East Palestine and the White House refusing 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: to deal with it. Now they're acting like they're gonna 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: show up and actually do something. But when your symptoms 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: are coughing up blood and no one seems to care, 7 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: imagine how angry you would actually be. Now Mayor Pete 8 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: is now coming out and saying, this is the head 9 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: of the Transportation I should have spoken out sooner about 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: how strong we have felt about East Palestine derailment. Why 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: didn't he do it? Well, let's be clear, they're not 12 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: focused on it. Why because this is an area that 13 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: voted over seventy percent for Donald Trump. In other words, 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: screw you. Take a listen to part of what he 15 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: had to say with CBS News finally doing an interview 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: about the Ohio train derailment and the environmental crisis that 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,039 Speaker 1: is clearly happening there. But is there anything that the 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: Transportation Department could have done sooner to avoid this from 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: happening in the first place. Well, our personnel, we're on 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: the ground within hours of this incident, but I do 21 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: think that every rail incident calls the question on how 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: we can strengthen the regulation of rail safety in this country. Now, 23 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: that is something that the rail industry has fought, but 24 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: that we have been raising the bar on since we 25 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: got here and will continue to do. Look, whether it's 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: the crew staffing rule or whether it's the regulations around 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: the strength of the tanks containing the material that transits. Again, 28 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm not going to get ahead of the ntsb s 29 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: finding on some of the specific root causes in this incident, 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: but we know enough to know that it's long pasttime 31 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: to continue the work of raising the bar on rail safety. 32 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: We're continuing our work on that. We're asking Congress, especially 33 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: since there seems to be some new found bipartisan interest 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: in doing something to untie our hands and make it 35 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: possible for us to do more. And it's amazing about 36 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: this response for Mayor Pete is he's acting like he's 37 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: being held back when he's literally the guy that's in charge. 38 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: He's acting like his hands are tied, when for the 39 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: first two years of this administration he had the House, 40 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: the Senate, in the White House all in the hands 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: of Democrats. There's not Republicans holding him back. He's acting 42 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: like he doesn't have the ability to go to the 43 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: site of this crisis in some capacity because well, I 44 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: just can't get there right now, or I don't want 45 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: to go there right now because I don't want to 46 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: distract people. So let's go back to the spitting blood comments, 47 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: throwing up blood, coughing up blood. The Transportation Secretary is 48 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: now saying, at least, okay, maybe I should have been 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: more compassionate on the front end. They're now trying to 50 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: rewrite history, and a lot of this is because Americans 51 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: are furious that they're sending all this money and going 52 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: to an active war zone in Ukraine and putting the 53 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: people in Ukraine ahead of American citizens. Tucker Carlson had 54 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: on his show individuals that are having major health problems 55 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: clearly directly tied to this toxic fallout in Ohio, an 56 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: administration that's refusing to do anything about. Now they are claiming, 57 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna make the train company pay for 58 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 1: the cleanup. Why didn't you say that at the moment 59 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: this happened. Why didn't you show up at the moment 60 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: this happened. Listen to their story, Your picture taken. When 61 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: I go, it will be about action on real safety. Now, that's, 62 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: by the way, Mayor Pete's last closing argument he's been 63 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: making over the last twenty four hours. You know, I'm 64 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: not just going for a photo op. He said, it's 65 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: in good morning, America. I'm going to get something done. 66 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm going for cleanup. When are you going? I don't know, 67 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: like he's literally saying, I don't know, But when I go, 68 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be serious. It's not gonna be a photo op. Meanwhile, 69 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: your administration just the the ultimate photo op with fake 70 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: air raid sirens and UKN with Zelenski. It made for 71 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: a movie moment. So so you do you really want 72 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: to distinguish yourself from photo ops? Right now, it's a 73 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: pretty bad look. So let'sten to what's happening to the 74 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: actual people in East Palestine. If there's any member of 75 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: the Biden administration he deserves to lose his job immediately. 76 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: It's that guy. Nathan and Kelly Isotic are in East Palestine. 77 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: They live there. We talked him a couple of days ago, 78 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,119 Speaker 1: and since we spoke, they tell us they've been coughing 79 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: up blood. So we want to get an update from 80 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: the Nathan and Kelly joined us. Now, thank you both 81 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: for coming on. Nathan first, to you coughing up blood? Yes, Tucker, 82 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: it was days after the incident, and that's it would 83 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: have been the Sunday, and I woke up in a 84 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: very horrific coughing spell, almost like a bronchitis or pneumonia type. 85 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know if it was just from 86 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: the coughing fits or what, but spats of blood did 87 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: appear that night and a few days later, obviously we 88 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: evacuated town. It resided and went away, but that was 89 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: one of the side effects. How how old are you. 90 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: I'm thirty now, just turned thirty February sixteenth. Yeah, I'm 91 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: no doctor, but you should not be coughing a blood. 92 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: We're going to speak to a doctor in a minute. 93 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you what you know, but that's 94 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: not a good sign. Kelly, how are you feeling? The 95 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: headaches are horrible. They pretty much when I'm about three 96 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: to four miles outside of town they start, and as 97 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: long as I'm within a few miles of the crash site, 98 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: I've got headaches, really bad headaches, migraines. Has anyone tried 99 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: to explain to you why you might be having these symptoms. Well, 100 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: if we're talking the Ohio doctor Fauci's, we can go 101 00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: and you know they're going to try to point it 102 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: towards having COVID related symptoms. But we obviously know that's 103 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: not the case. Yeah, no, that's not the case. Coughing 104 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: up blood is on it is not. I don't think 105 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: a valid COVID symptom at this point. How does it smell? 106 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean, we have a sense of smell for a reason. 107 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: The nose knows that. You know, there's truth in that. 108 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: How does your town smell? I mean it's it's still blatant, 109 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: even your cameraman here. That's one of the first things 110 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: I asked him was, you know, do you do you 111 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: smell what's smelling outside? And he says, yeah, it's it's 112 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: it's a sweet odor. Um. It smells terrible. And again 113 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: it's it's more towards the evening when it's more prominent. Yeah. 114 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: I hate to ask you about money, but I can't resist. 115 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean, what about homeowners in East Palestine, Like you've 116 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: got to think that their home values are bottoming out ahead. 117 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: Nobody is ever going to purchase a home that has 118 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: these Palestine in the in the address.

Thank you 171 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: ask you a tough question, let you kind of run 172 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: away from it, and then it's fine, right because it's 173 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: spoken out sooner. Now, why are you not visiting right 174 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: this community? Here's what he says, because I'm I'm focused 175 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: on action, not politics, not on a show. It's been 176 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: two weeks since this derailment. When is the time right? 177 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: So I'm planning to go and when I do, it 178 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: will be focused on action, not on politics, not on show. 179 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: In the early days, I have been respecting the role 180 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: that the independent NTSB plays and staying out of their way. 181 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: But we are now entering the policy phase of our 182 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: response to this, and even as NTSB continues finalizing their work, 183 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 1: this is the right time for us to be looking 184 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: at immediate steps from the USDOT. Do you think the 185 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: President should visit? Look? Right now, I'm focused on making 186 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: sure that we have the tools that are needed on 187 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: the ground to respond to this. You've got EPA there, 188 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: You've got our departments supporting the ntsp's work there. You've 189 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: got the CDC Home Health and Services there to look 190 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: after the health side, and we've got to make sure 191 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: that that agency response continues. I know the President cares 192 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: a lot about what's happening there, He's spoken to me 193 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: about it, and we are going to continue doing everything 194 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: we can to make sure this community is not left behind. 195 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: And you've already left him behind, dude, like you've already 196 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: done that. And the fact that you say we're planning 197 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: on going but won't tell us when you're going. And 198 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm about action here. You need to understand this is 199 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: about action to me. Okay, So what action are you 200 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: going to actually bring to the people. Well, let's move 201 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: to another disaster in our government. This is the EPA. 202 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: Michael Reagan is the director right in charge of the EPA. 203 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: The Environmental Protection Agency is literally supposed to do exactly 204 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 1: that protect you when they're environmental disasters and from environmental disasters. 205 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: They've thrown him out there now, not doing this interview 206 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: in Ohio instead doing it from Washington, DC, and the 207 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: federal government now is actually pointing the finger one admitting 208 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: there there's an environmental crisis there right, Well, I'm sure 209 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: that's comforting the people that are literally coughing up blood, 210 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,319 Speaker 1: but then saying we're gonna hold the private sector accountable 211 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: for it because it somehow isn't the fault of the 212 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: US government, and we're not the ones that you should 213 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: be mad at. Instead, you should be mad at Norfolk Southern, 214 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: the railway that had the train that derail. That's their 215 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: fault and they need to pay, not us. We're going 216 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: to do one degree of separation. Listen to this and 217 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: tell me if you're coughing up blood, if anything you're 218 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: about to hear from the EPA administrator is comforting to you, 219 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 1: really important, because what you're saying is there is always 220 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: a possibility the contaminants can exist somewhere that has not 221 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: been tested, and you need to really be careful. I'm 222 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: hoping that the state or the federal government pays for 223 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: those tests. Is that something that's going to happen. Listen, 224 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: Yesterday's announcement will ensure that Norfolk Southern pays for the 225 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: mess that they've created, and so we are encouraging everyone 226 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: seek medical attention, ensure that the state and local health 227 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: agencies understand those experiences. Because as we force Norfolk Southern 228 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: to take full accountability for what they've done, Norfolk Southern 229 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: will pay for everything and anything that we do. Norfolk 230 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: Southern will reimburse us. They are the ones that cause 231 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: this mess. They're the ones that are going to clean 232 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: up and fix this mess. Let me tell ask you 233 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: how that's going to happen. What have you done so 234 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: far as the EPA administrator and the EPA at large 235 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: to push Norfolk Southern to do all of the things 236 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: that you just mentioned to take responsibility. Yesterday's announcement sort 237 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: of laid out the fact that we are transitioning from 238 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: an emergency response phase, which was led by the state 239 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: with EPA supporting the state, into a cleanup, a longer 240 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: term cleanup phase. What I an noow, using my legal authority, 241 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: we can hold Norfolk Southern accountable. Number One, they will 242 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: clean up every single piece of debris, all of the 243 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: contamination to EPA specifications and satisfaction. Number two, they will 244 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: pay for it fully, pay for it at any moment. 245 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: If we have to step in because they refuse to 246 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: do anything, we will do the cleaning up ourselves. We 247 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: can find them up to seventy thousand dollars a day, 248 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: and when we recoup our total cost, we can charge 249 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: them three times in the amount of the cost of 250 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: the federal government. That is what the law provides for me. 251 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna use the full extent of our oversight and 252 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: enforcement to hold Norfolk Southern accountable. And they have to 253 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: design a very specific work plan that's approved by EPA. 254 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: So we're going to make sure that every single step 255 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: is included, no stone is left unturned, because the fact 256 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: of the matter is they cause this trauma to the 257 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: community and we're going to make sure that they pay 258 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: for it. Last question, You and I have traveled around. 259 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: I have met up with you in places like Mississippi, 260 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: West Virginia on the water issue in this country and 261 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: the thing that keeps coming up over and over and 262 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: over again. Is trust trust amazing that CNN would actually 263 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: say that, right, No one trust you. That's the problem here. 264 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: How can anyone trust you in this scenario? You know? 265 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete admits, Look, I'm in a mistake. I could 266 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: have spoken out sooner. Right, That's the only mistake he's 267 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: gonna admit to, Not that there's a major disaster, a 268 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: toxic disaster, the turning people's lives and could kill people, 269 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: cause cancer, and god knows what else he's saying. I 270 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: could have spoken out sooner. That's my only mistake so far. Well. 271 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: To be clear, our department was on the ground within 272 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: hours helping with the response and the investigation. Again, I 273 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: respect the separate role than TSB, but we have been 274 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: on the ground literally from day one to make sure 275 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: that we're doing our part to support I do think 276 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: that it's important to speak out about that, and I 277 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: could have spoken out sooner, and I'm making sure that 278 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: we are focused on the actions that are going to 279 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: make a difference. There. You go, that's your government. You've 280 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: got a massive problem, You've got a derailment. All this 281 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: is happening there, and he's like I could have spoken 282 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 1: out sooner. Right, that's it. Residents are saying that they're 283 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: coughing up blood, and he's saying our government is saying 284 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: the official person in charge, Hey, I should have spoken 285 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: out sooner. EPA saying, not our problem, Northern Southern's problem. 286 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna make them pay. And the EPA chief, by 287 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: the way, the Ohio governor, they want you to know 288 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: everything's good because they actually drank a sip of the 289 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 1: tap water to prove to you did everything somehow. Okay, 290 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: listen to this crap. A lot of people here doing, 291 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:13,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people focus on working. That makes us 292 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: feel better. But it will, it will continue. It will. 293 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: No stone will be left on turning. The testing of 294 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: my house, somebody testing. Yeah, we're talking absolutely, we're here 295 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: to do that. Man, there it is. We're just gonna 296 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: drink some water here, right, I'm the governor and I'm 297 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: here at this terrainment, this this train derailment side, and 298 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna sip it real quick so you 299 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: know it's safe. And then after that we're gonna get 300 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: the hell out of here because we know it ain't safe. 301 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: But we did. We did a photo op here, and 302 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: then the same administration's like, we're not doing photo ops. 303 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: While they're saying they're not gonna do photo ops, the 304 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: president's doing fake air sirens in Ukraine and they make 305 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: him look strong for a photo op. Ha. I mean, 306 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: this is all they do is photo ops. This cleanup 307 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: strategy and I'm talking about the pr strategy and the 308 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: actual cleanup of this toxic derailment site is a disaster 309 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: on so many different levels because so much of the 310 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: damage has already been done and now it's just come 311 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: down to finger pointing. And really, I would argue bullying 312 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: now from the federal government. If you live in this area, 313 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: your property values have gone down. I don't even know 314 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,120 Speaker 1: how much you know that. The cleanup has not been 315 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: done quickly enough. So the contamination of the ground, the 316 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: drinking want everything, it's really soaked in there. The government 317 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 1: two weeks later comes out and says clean up your mess. 318 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: The EPA acting again like they're strong leading two weeks 319 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 1: late ordering Norfolk Southern to fix the toxic derailment site. 320 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: They send out an official press release on this. Two 321 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 1: weeks late, US Environmental Protection Agency has ordered Norfolk Southern 322 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: that's the Little Railcar System right, the company that was 323 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: pulling this train on Tuesday, two weeks after it happens, 324 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: to pay for the cleanup and restitution or the toxic 325 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: East Palestine, Ohio train wreck site. The demand comes just 326 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: days after the TSA Secretary Mayor Pete's and a letter 327 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: to the coming CEO outlining his quote, disappointment and the 328 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: response to date. In other words, every complaint you have 329 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: against me and my response, I'm going to now put 330 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: in a letter to the CEO of the train company 331 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 1: so I can then blame them, and I say, see, 332 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,439 Speaker 1: it's not my fault. You shouldn't be mad at me, 333 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: you should be mad at them. This is called shifting 334 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: the blame the pr game. Speaking to reporters Neil near 335 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: the deralment site, the Associated press Is also report that 336 00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: the Norfolk Southern CEO, Alan Shaw, promised to do all 337 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: within his power to ensure the long term health of 338 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 1: the community and become a safer rail road. Now, a 339 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: couple of things about this. I don't believe that these 340 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: companies have it in our interest to clean up afterwards. 341 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: I think they have it in their interest to do 342 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: the bare minimum. I don't believe that they care about us. 343 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't believe that they want to fix this problem. 344 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: I think they look at this as a financial liability 345 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: and we're going to do whatever we can to quickly 346 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: move this forward. You know, there's also an arrogance factor here. 347 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: This was on CNBC where the Norfolk Southern CEO said, 348 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: in his words okay, that he'd bring his children to 349 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: the area because it's safe. When you hear that people 350 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,919 Speaker 1: are coughing up blood, this is when I say to 351 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: Alan Shaw, I don't believe you. This has been a 352 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: traumatic experience. And all the taxology reports, all the testing 353 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: shows that were clean. However, if folks are experiencing symptoms 354 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: with which they're not accustomed, I would strongly encourage them 355 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: to go see a trusted medical professional. Pine was your home. 356 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 1: Would you have come back? Would you bring your children 357 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: back right now? Yes? Yes, I've come back multiple times. 358 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: I've drinking the water here, I've interacted with the families here. 359 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: But I know they're hurt. I know they're scared. I 360 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: know they're confused. They're looking for information and who to trust. 361 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: I encourage them to ask questions. I think when they 362 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: really dig into it, they're going to see that all 363 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: the testing, whether it's done by the EPA or local 364 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: health officials or our independent contractors, show that it's safe 365 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: to return to the community. And my commitment to this 366 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: community is we will continue with the environmental remediation. We've 367 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: made a lot of progress and we're cooperating and coordinating 368 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: with the Ohio EPA on a long term remediation plan. 369 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: We're going to continue our financial assistance to the residents 370 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: of this community. So far, we've either reimbursed or committed 371 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: six point five million dollars to this community, and we're 372 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: working with the local officials here. I just don't trust them. 373 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: Six point five million and local money to the community. 374 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: We're working with local officials here. As you put it, great, 375 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: it's wonderful. But to say that you would stay there 376 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: and have your kids there and look to drink one 377 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: glass of water is one thing. To bathe them this 378 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: water and drink it every day as your only source 379 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: is completely different. And we all know that. And two 380 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: weeks late, they're like, oh, well, now it's your fault. 381 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: You've got to clean it up, right, We're gonna blame 382 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: the other guy for this. I've drinking the water. Look 383 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: would I go there as a pr stunt and drink 384 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: this water. If I'm one of these guys, of course 385 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: you would.

Let me also say something else about this, 411 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: and that is I expect the government to come in 412 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: and to not trust corporations to do what's best for community. 413 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: Mayor Peach should have been there on the ground sooner. 414 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: The governor and elect officials should have just immediately assumed 415 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: that they were lying on everything. And if they're not lying, great, 416 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: but let me let you hear what. The pen Ssylvania 417 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: Governor Josh Shapiro said his office has now actually made 418 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: a criminal referral in the Ohio train derailment. This after 419 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: the Ohio Governor Dwine has signaled at a news conference 420 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 1: in Ohio is now preparing to take legal action as well. Now. 421 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: The Pennsylvania governor said this that his office has made 422 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: a criminal referral in response to recent train derailment over 423 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: the border in East Palace and Ohio, because he says 424 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: it's the after effects of the environment and the nearby 425 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: communities are going to affect his state in Pennsylvania. This 426 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: is how the Pennsylvania governor put it at this press conference. Listen, 427 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: he's furious and actually handling this. I would argue the 428 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: right way. My administration will remain vigilant for any threats 429 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: to Pennsylvanians, and we will hold accountable Norfolk Southern, the 430 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: company that made this vigilance necessary. The combination of Norfolk 431 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: Southern's corporate greed, incompetence, and lack of care for our 432 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: residence is absolutely unacceptable to me. I've been outspoken about 433 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: the serious concerns that I had with the company's failed 434 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 1: management of this crisis. They chose not to participate in 435 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,880 Speaker 1: the unified command, they gave us inaccurate information and conflicting 436 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: modeling data, and they refuse to explore or articulate alternative 437 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: courses of action when we were dealing with the derailment 438 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: in the early days. In some Norfolk Southern injected unnecessary 439 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: risk into this crisis, and they created confusion in this process. 440 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: In the face of Norfolk Southern's arrogance and incompetence. I 441 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: want you to know we are fighting back. We stand 442 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: with the good people of Pennsylvania and Ohio, and we 443 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: stand with them against this corporate greed and incompetence. We 444 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: stand against this corporate greed and incompetence. At least somebody's 445 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: admitting this. Does that, by the way, sound like anything 446 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: that you're hearing at all from our president? No? Does 447 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: that sound like anything that you're hearing at all from 448 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: the Transportation Secretary mayor peat? No. And the reason why, 449 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty damn clear. They don't care about 450 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,160 Speaker 1: the people. They care more about the optics. They don't 451 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: care about these people because they voted for Trump. They 452 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: don't care about this problem because they'd rather talk about Ukraine. 453 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: They don't care about these people because and proves the 454 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: fact they go to Ukraine before they go to deal 455 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: with this issue there. The president of the United States 456 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 1: Americas should have gone there. Hell, Donald Trump's gone there, 457 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 1: so and be like, oh, he's a photoop. No, he's 458 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: actually trying to bring attention to it. He's running for president. 459 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: He's doing what a president should do right now, right, 460 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean that's the truth here. I don't 461 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 1: understand how people can't see this and understand this. I 462 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: really don't. It's very very very very very clear to 463 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: me that they don't care. And if they did care, 464 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: they would have done this differently. You know. Mayor Pete, 465 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 1: by the way, coming in is not a big distraction. 466 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 1: May Or Pete should have been one of the first 467 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: guys on the ground when when this happened they knew 468 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: how bad it was. Mayor Pete within days should have 469 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: been there and having meetings and making sure that everything 470 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: that and again, some of this is just optics, so 471 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: you know you have somebody on your side, so that 472 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: you know you have somebody on your team. That's the truth, right, 473 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I mean that's really the truth here. 474 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: And when no one's showing up from the federal government 475 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: the highest levels, then you start asking yourself, are they 476 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,719 Speaker 1: on the take? Are they are they a part of 477 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: this cover up? Are they down playing us because they 478 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: don't want to deal with it. What is the logic 479 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 1: and the reasoning behind what they're doing here? And you 480 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: can hear it in all of these clips that we 481 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: played for you today, right again, the governor here, you know, 482 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: this is an issue of corporate greed, incompetence and lack 483 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: of care for a residence is absolutely unacceptable. He is 484 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: correct in saying that. And when you have a Norfolk 485 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: Southern CEO like, oh, I'd bring my kids here, Sure 486 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: I would your home. Would you have come back? Would 487 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: you bring your children back right now? Yes? Yes. These 488 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: are the meaning most ridiculous questions that the media asks, 489 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: because of course, you know what the answer is going 490 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: to be. There. Talk about the residence whose homes are 491 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 1: in the direct area around this derailment. What has that 492 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: done to their property values?
