presidential podium to make them. but first, there s another norfolk southern train derailment to tell you about, this one also in ohio prompting local officials to order people living close to the crash to shelter many place. this comes, of course, just one month after a train carrying ox thetic chemicals derailed in east palestine, ohio, about 180 miles away from yesterday s incident. more questions about the safety of the railroads and what the government can do about it. hello, everyone. welcome to a brand new hour of fox news live. i m eric shawn. hi, arthel. arthel: hi, eric. hello, everyone, i m arthel neville. norfolk southern saying no hazardous material was onboard any of the more than 20 cars that ran off the tracks yesterday, but this incident along with the east palestine derailment is causing lawmakers to question safety measures. railroads continue to enrich their executives at the expense of public safety and public health and lay off workers and comprom
action towards mexico suggests that the establishment in washington has lost patience and they re getting ready to default to the answer of taking military action. it would not solve the problem, but with i think we re going to have to start facing the possibility that something like this could happen. not under the biden administration, i think they feel they ve got enough on their plate with russia and china, but clearly pressure is building for taking unilateral action. what about the idea of labeling them foreign terrorist os? what would that free the united states government to do? some people argue it would allow the government to go more against the cartels in this country. and i think, or you know, seriously, if we want to try to address this problem, we should ask ourselves why drugs go from brownsville, texas, to seattle or new york with no violence. and the reason is because we don t confront the contribution system in this country. we want the mexicans to jump in
guns. this is not working. it s got to rebuild as a powerful western state that it actually can be. eric: the threat from our neighbor in the south a, quote, narco-terrorist state says professor kiron skinner. we ll see if there s more meaningful action on designating the cartels terrorist os as they are. thank you. arthel? arthel: eric, thank you. you know, we ve heard and seen devastating story thes of the impact of america s deadly drug end epidemic. well, now a washington state man is sharing his story of sobriety can fox with fox digital to inspire others. recovering addict tyson was living on the streets for more than a decade. he says he witnessed more than a hundred overdoses in that time, but he told fox news how he found strength in his family after his sister found him in a store parking lot.
