rock star crowds for barack obama. >> results like that would seem to defy the laws of known physics and qualify instead of miracle. was the twenty twenty election a miracle? honestly, we don't know and we don't expect to get an answer to it tonight. an answ let's move instead to immediate questions like all these weirwed things shooting through the sky over the united states and canada that nobody seems abletate to positivelynoby identify. >> should we be worried about these things? thesand then what about our infrastructure, the steel and concrete parts of america that the bush administration has shown strange contemptthat , possibly because they were built by those dreaded white but construction workers that may or dislike so much our critical infrastructure appears to be falling apart. >> t is thatha a problemt ? or can we in the bright new transhumanist future, our leaderst futurs envision feh ourselves with mckinsey consultants alone? and if we can, how dou ma they taste? you may be wondering all of this, or maybe you're not wondering any of it because you have no clue whabecause t we'reh about, because the media hasn't told you about it. mes corps that's willing to spend a full week ignoring a sick mushroom clouohiod over o will ignore pretty much anything. >> so in case you're not up-to-a to date, here's a partial recap of events last night there was a massive and as yet unexplained fire at a plant nurser oy just south of orlandow the fire burned more than twoo acres of plastic planters, now burning plastic releases. >> a lot og plf baastid chemica including dioxins, which you don't want. >> and that's what you don't do, this in your fireplace.gl when a single plastic beakered melted in stamford, science building last year, the schoolsl evacuated the area. >> but outside orlando, there was no evacuation. residents were told to stay in their homes. >> none ofe the environmentalist's in the biden administration. >> the people who claim ostentatiously to care about the environmene ostet said anytg about it. nor did they have a lot to say about what happened in tucson on tuesday. >>. a tractor trailer carryingt- nitric acitraid rolled over on s ten nitric acid is a carcinogen . >> within two hours of the crash, authorities evacuated a small number of evsidents. they told everybody living within a mile to shelter intold place. then two hours after that, they lifted the shelter in place. orde lifter. but then the next morning,shel authorities announced that they had, quote,te reinstated the shelter in place order forth a one mile perimeter around the incident. >>incident. and then they told residents ha to , quote, turn off heaters/o and or air conditioning systems that bring in outside er. outside er er for you.rst wellor why did they give this order. becausout wae the first order il turns out was wrong. it wasn't safe for people to move back into their homes. , >> so just as an east palazhchenko authorities, for whatever reason, expose people to dangerous chemicals. s is if i this is incompetence, therb agems to be an awful lot of it lately. >> then today it nearly happened again.ain. n de a freight train derailed about thirty miles west of downtown detroit. >>t. it's a norfolk southern train that's the same company that operated the train derailed in east palestine, ohio. tha >> thirty cars were off the tracks. we're fortunately, if the information that we are getting is accurate and we can't vouch that it is , the car containing liquid chlorine did not overturntainin apparently. >> so that is howeve r you slices an it, an awful lot of drama on our roads and rails in a single week. >> who'se week in charge of ours and rails anyway? >> well, that would be the secretary of transportation. that would be .ed abo inutt a judge, he's in charge. he was asked about it today.tr in response, he pointed outt that train derailments are not a big deal . c settle down. they're very commoommon trai n o derailments happen on average nearly three times every day that look rail that that has evolved a lot over the years. years clearly more that needs to be done, because while thisho horrible situation has gotten a particularly higha ye amount of attention, there are roughly one thousand cases a year of a train derailment. >> we espoused is a big deal .ot a thousand trains derail every year in the united states ,te bt says a judge who presumabltiy hs the stats on it. >> did you know that?it are you okay with thousanduntry? trains a year derailing and your countrya lo done?gerous a lot of these trains carry highly dangerous chemicals th areas.buttigpopulated >>ie yeah.put yourself i so if you were put to a judge,,n put yourself in his tiny position for a moment. >> if you were him, wouldn'tis o fixing that thisng ongoing not p disaster be your very firstet priority? >> will , of course it would be . but you're not put to a judge.lg >> but a judge doesn't carebout about trains derailing, cares about equity trains derailing. >> that' s fine.w >> you're fine. you're so fine that people showt up to test the air in the water after a train derailmentha wearing hazmate ai suits because the air and water are perfectly safe as long was wearing a hazmat suit. >> see, there'.s a simpleere's a solution to this. >> stop whining. now, what does norfolk southerne think of alls this? we'd love to know, but we don't know because the company skipped the town hal kl last n night in theseig palestine, ohie hundreds of locals had gathered to ask obvious and for the gm pressing questions like why are thousands of fisessing qh and as dying? >> why? bust executives in norfolk southern didn't show up at the event. >> why? because they were worrie d for their own safety here.s th >> because they're scared fored their safety. >> hundreds of anxiousus residents packed a school gym, here in east palestine on wednesday night looking for answer twos. almost two weeks after a huges train derailment released suintoous chemical their town, contaminating much of the surrounding area. >>ea but there were notable absences from the town hall, alsoing, including the rail operator, norfolk southern, also not attending transportation secretary pete buta gege.se, the mayor says he's had limited contacret with the white house, leaving folks here frustrated, angry and complaininformatiog at a lack of information from the feds and norfolk southern state officials in the epa say the water and air are both safe , but residents here tellsk a different story. they say they've been gettin, g petssick and so have their pets. >> it's so safe we're not going . >> there are oxygen tanks aree l empty. and by the way, there ardee elderly, low income people on crutches there. we don't feel safe around themlk . bus t from the perspective off o the people who live in these palestin ie, it looks a little different. >> you would think if yo foru le in the united states and you y tosend by force at gunpoint hf of your annual payd to washington, someonecare in washington would care when . your town is poisoned by a train derailment. >>t you gh but you thought wron. uko do you think you are? ukrainiaran. ? nobody cares about you. is this keeva? no, it's ohio.it's ohi shut up. the >> the administration has other priorities by the way, like shooting down three hundred dollars weather balloons with four hundred thousand dollar missiles. >>yes, app that. and yes, appard that. >> joe biden himself admitted it today. t know yetwe don't yet know exat these three objects were, but nothing nothing right now suggests they were related spy to china's five billion programw or that there were surveillance vehicles froer m any other country. the intelligence community's current assessmentlligence is tt these three objects were most likely balloons tied to privat e companies, recreation or research institutions studiempd weather or conducting other scientific research. >> that's a quote, intelligence community. air quotes now required as the intelligence community's assessment. oh, they'r e sent a balloon up. and we sent a sidewinder after a mission accomplished. >> a lot of questions thatite nu emanate quite naturally from that bewildering announcement. >> but joe biden didn't take any of them. he scampered ed off off without takingtions. questions. >> bigon serve's like norfol be gone,k southern and mayor pete biden ss knows he doesn't have to answer the questions because whathe doe i'm going to do about ite, we can do about it. >> well, actually , they'r e starting to worry a little bit about what you might do aboutpi it. >> the people in charge are stupid, obviously, but they're not so dem. they don't understandue the consequencesnces o of seriay mistreating the country over a period of many years. >>. t they're starting to getle worried. >> they are afraid o f we kn the peopleow they govern. m how do wthe know that? because they're moving in high speed to disarm the people to govern. >> here's plastic surgery model gavin newsom of california last month. >> we've chosen this. this is artist decision to live. in. these conditions doesn't existln anywhere else in the world. e woso we've chosen this. we've accepted this. we can sit there and says th thoughts and prayers are we can look in the mirror, say thiswhat is the price, i guess, oevfthisi whatever , fill in the blanks n freedom. this is the pric freede. >> tuc >>ke freedom, freedom from want prayer. >> how stupid is prayer?n says gavin newsom, people who prayer idiots. >> i'm the only god here. bow down before me. you can no longeronly i defend yourselves. only i have the righe t to defet your life.e. >> i think about that from an it's not a reassuring message, really. >> anyone who stripse you oft to your basic god-given right to self defense is probably not your friend and anyone who does it. in a moment of cha chaos, the op who are living through chaos that people like gavin newsomy r caused on purpose. >> anyone who does that is probably your blood enemy . >> but gavin newsom is not alone. gretchen wittmer of michigan has the very same message.. >> stop praying and obey. watch. s too, >> firearms are getting more dangerous, too. 3-d printed technology calle thanks to 3d printed technology called glock switches. that turn semiautomatic weapons fully automatic. >> that's why we launched operation safe neighborhoods, taking hundreds of illegal firearms off the street before they could be used in the commission of a crime. buime, butt we must do more so the world our kids inherit is not more violent than the one we inhabit. [chethe time for only thoughts and prayers is over. >> another low iq plastic surgery disaster lecturing us about things she has no at gr understanding of. so laugh at gretchen whitmer, if you will , but then think about what she's saying. >> she's mockingg. prayer really well. >> now that you mentione migh gretchen whitmer, we might usee a little prayer right now. >> prayers work better thann, equity. prayers are safer than norfolk southern paris h, a more. comforting than kamala harris laugh. >> there's nothing wrongong with prayerswith . what we don't need any more of is more totalitarian atheists. with ill gotten political power and designs on our lives. >> we'vego gott enou enough of , including you. youthe havehey're telling that the two things you cannote have are gunths and prayer, you know, for a fact that those are the two things you need most. abanwe're seeing a lot of evidence of that lately. abandoned by their government to a world, politicians haveicar intentionally made chaotic americans protecting themselves. they have no choice. recen here's one recent and inspirintn g example from the state of arizona. >> if he g hadn't haund a gun, my gun never to come out. no, it's all there is to it. brian says it was around 5:1 five fifteen wednesday morning when the suspect walked into the chevrohewalkedn where he wod the graveyard shift. >> but i could hear him say, "rmoney, you know, so but in all reality, he didn't even say anything the moment he pointedit the gun at me, it was pretty p obvious what he was there for. >> suspect pointed the gun at brian , but thenbr brian says hd turned and pointed the weapon at a customer. act police confirm that's wheniohe t brian took action, when he turned around, the clerk got his own firearanm and shot>> i the suspect and was able'm to defend himself. at that time, i'm supposed to relieve him. and i saw everything go , oh,. my god. but luckily, my the other employees, okay, hads la the suspect walked iter,nehind thirty minutes later, brian says his coworker would have been behind the registesteo as terrifying as the situation was, he's glad he was the one mn to be there.t >> we're living througinhameric the most political moment in y american history, but storiesou like the one you just saw, transend politics, we don'tor, u know who anyone in that tape voted for, but k we know exactly how they felt as human beings, goveid and alone. and that's what happens when the government ceasesto conducting its most basic duty, which is to protect its citizens. and they won't they won't protect you. they've said that out loud. erybody and everybody knows it d no matter who they voted for.fo >> and so increasingly, you americans are having to defend themselves. and once again, anyone you fend youu can't defend yourself is your enemy . so here'les an example that is amazing. >> and we think you'll agreea wo that it is in tampa lastma monta a woman called initially olma was working out in her apartment complexes gym. >> and because she's a a kinho o person, she le t in a man who istempte trying to open the door. >> that man then attempted to her. e you're seeing the footage scree on your screen right now.n shelley zimmerman did not have g a gun. >> she was in a gym.ymaord buinart she's extraordinary toup and she was able to fight off the man who was trying to his name is xavier thomas jones. wd >> thomas jones was later arrested after he tried to another woman in the apartment complex. >> the resilience and the strength you see in that videoin is so inspiring. and so perfectly capturest the best part of america thatof we wante d to speak to michelleight. obama tonight. >> and she was gracious enough to agree. she joins us now . ank you >> ashleigh, thank you so much for coming on . anyone who watchesanyone that vn and again, it's not a political point, but it has to stand back in awe. vot at your ferocity. >> what how did you summon. so this man is bigger than youht and he's totally determined to hurt you. h off.whatand you literally fom off.? what what were you thinkin g in my head, you know, whenever it was happening, i was really fearful at all in my head.ad, it was just i got to fight him. i got to do something, you know, and he was equal to me. he wasn't bigger than me. he was anything more than my size. and i kind of do that to my. advantage, to my own head. him and i fought him. a momen >> well, there's a moment in. the tape i watched like four times. it's so interesting. he comes towards you and herabbed hasn't even grabbed you yet. and you determined thi y, s guy is going to hurt me.diatel he's an enemy y . him. you don't lie to yourself. theyjust immediately go after him. why? to and a lot of people don't do that. they lie to themselves. exy are you able to know exactly what this man's intention was? right is ?d because my mom always told me, proach don't anybody ever approach you or touch you if you don't knowas them? and as soon as hoon ase approac i knew i had to push him o off r do something. >> yeah, well, you certainlyr did. dodo something. did and the guy just said you are so ferocious with him that heyo imjust finally gave up. yeah. >> yeah. after a little bit of wrestling, on the ground, i yanked out hisu beard hairallys and he eventualy gave out. >> so what i mean, this is their scene, i think that thatly a loa of people, women particularly fear you're alone in the gym at night and some comes in and tries to you. >> what advice, having lived through it, would you watching? give people watching? like i said, some people forget their key fob and they do let people in further of their hearts, but always be cautiouatchs, always watchsit your back. and if you're ever in thatht situation, fight back a man.'s s >> hey, man, fight back . that is it's just wonderful.rata but thantik you for what you di. and congratulations on . >> thank you.studen well, more thatsn a week ago,t s studentsbu asbury university in the school kentucky gathered for a service in the school chapel. he one boy stood up unbidden and the most honest possible terms begit hon to reveal hise deepest personal flaws to the whole group in christian language. this is called confession. now, the moment the boy did this, the atmosphere changed palpably. people the room said they could feel a presenc e of spirit. they said that made them feel joyful and liberated and so they stayed. the church service never ended. it's still's going on tonight. . we told you about all this last night and we interviewed the school student body president after the show. >> we found ourselves still thinking about it. we didn'lthinkingt fully underst was happening at astbury and we don't really understand it now. >> we're not or anyone does understand it, but whatever isg going on seem wonderful. onseemed like a sort of thing wn badly need more of. so we started making plans to go to kentucky on friday, tomorrow to see the service for ourselvee ser oursels. and then thi.s morning, a remarkable thing happened. we got a call from astbury university asking us not to come. it's not personait's not perl. t they said they like our show, but the ongoing service at astbury is purely spiritual. >> it's got nothing to do with politics or business. no one one there is making money from it or planning a run for office. >> it's mostly is young people worshiping god , young people finding meaning and answers. inin a country that increasingly doesn't offer much of either. >> it'esn't ofs not really a plr tv cameras and we understood that. ion, in fact, we deeply respected a l it. when you work in television,ot o running into a lot of peoplemosv who want publicity, you almost never meet anyon we who doesn'tu want publicity. d and when you do meeto meet peopt who don't want publicity, doe doingut ther something wrong or ie nof all the rarest of all cases,nd s they're doing something right, something so right. and so beautiful and so trueance that media coverage can'tt. enhance it can only detract from it. we think that's what's happening as a university. god bless them for turning us down. s news tonight on senator john fetterman of fettdelvania's health, which is not reassuring. >> plus,n joe bidenwe wenntt iu a medical checkup today. >> the results just came in. we've got all of that for you straight ahead. (chiwhat if i can't see n person? (upbeat music continues) hi. hey. are you ready for your virtual tour? yeah, relaxium some places don't ever. comedy is the hallmark of a free society. workers basically want to make comedy illegal, visit any offensive comedian. we're just trying to make people laugh. there is a fear of getting canceled. nobody can speak their mind. oh, the one thing that people currently in power can't stand is being made fun. and so then you have to play by their rules. you're not going to be able to say certain things on youtube. you're not going to see
