It is fascinating to me how much they're going to try and sort of make this just go away. and they tried to do it from the beginning. Here is JD Vance on Tucker Carlson's program realizing 10 days after the fact oh this is probably something I should worry about. I forgot I'm from Ohio. The tragedy in Palestine in your state kind of points up that something is kind of wrong with the fundamentals. I mean if there are hundreds of train derailments who is paying attention to this stuff and trying to prevent it? Well Tucker we've had hundreds of train derailments after we spent over a trillion dollars on infrastructure in this country. So the fact that this isn't getting obviously better is a major indictment of the people spending the money. and what they're spending the money on. Now we know if you listen to Secretary Buttigieg today that they are focused more on whether we have too many white men in construction jobs than he is on the fundamentals of his job, which is ensuring we have a viable Transportation infrastructure in this country. and unfortunately, my constituents in East Palestine have been some of the main victims of the fact that we have failing infrastructure in our country. again after spending tons of money to actually fix it. So the problem we have Tucker is that we are ruled by unserious people who are worried about fake problems instead of the real fact that our country is falling apart and some of the most important ways. you mentioned the Environmental Protection Agency of course it says it right there it should be focused on clean air and clean water. It's the thing that I'm most focused on for the people of East Palestine but so often they're focused on environmental racism and other ridiculous things instead of fixing the problem that they are established to fix. you got elected to the Senate in part because you said look, the people that I grew up with in your case literally that you grew up with and are related to are dying of drugs and no one in Washington seems to care. This seems a corollary to that. They talk a lot about the environment and environmental racism but this seems like an actual environmental disaster. I don't detect any urgency from the EPA or from Washington at all is it because these are not their voters? I think that's a big part of it.
