how is that putting safety first? jake, this investigation is being run by the ntsb. i m prohibited from talking specifically about anything that caused this derailment. i m very much looking forward to the preliminary results, which should be coming out very soon. i want to bring in some of the east palestine citizens here with me. is a former chemistry teacher, this week, the governor in the epa administrator in visited his house in drink tap water from his kitchen sink. before you ask mr. shaw question, did that reassure you at all? them drinking the water from your sink? absolutely. it did. that s good news. you have a question for mr. shaw? yes, i d like to go back to that safety subject that you mentioned just a moment ago. in ohio, we have great rigorous inspection of highways. rigorous inspection of bridges, rigorous inspections of public
said there were 3500 dead fish in the rivers. don t tell me mr. epa administrator that all s fine in the water when the fish are dying and the frogs are dying. do your job, show up, give those people some relief, give them some hope. and do what donald trump is doing, show up and listen and learn. that s what you ve got to do. laura: well, and, mike, it seems like mayor pete still wants to pass the blame in ohio to the previous president. watch. what do you think of the former president visiting there? i don t know exactly what he s planning to do there, especially since his administration was anti regulation and pro industry, safety regulations and regulations that relateded to rail were either watered down or frozen in place. i do know that we have work to do that we ve been underway on from day one of this situation. laura: mike, factually that s not accurate, justs a a
brian. yeah. laura: but when the epa administrator is urging residents to trust the science, first i want you to watch this and then react on the other side. i m not second guessing their experiences, but what i can say is the water that has been tested and the air that has been tested is coming back with no adverse health impact levels. and so we can provide the data. i trust the data. i trust the science. laura: well, brian a lot of people reacting on line tonight are saying, well, we trusted the data on covid as well about closing the schools and so much of the other things that we were told at the time and that turned out not to be true. and so who do you trust now, brian? whom do you trust. i think that s where a lot of the doubt comes from and, you know, consequently it s resulting in the fear. you know, if we ve learned anything over the past two years it s that we ve been lied to so much, we ve been told half truths very often and now it

debris. they will have to reimburse the cleaning up of ohomes and businesses. so they will have to show up at the epa s request to speak to residents, and if they don t comply, the agency can charge them three times the amount that the cleanup would cost. the epa administrator spoke about the plan at the town hall. i don t have any questions for the ceo of norfolk southern, but i have some orders for the company. and the orders are that the company is going to compel them to take full responsibility on the trauma they have inflicted on this community and the damage they have caused. are you going to follow that order, sir? jake, yes. the administrator regan and i are aligned on this.
