Episode 185-East Palestine, Ohio Train Derailment and Toxic Poisoning Response and Aftermath

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable we review the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment and toxic poisoning response and aftermath.  How serious is this and what might the long-term effects be?  Why did Pete Buttigieg take 10 days to comment and 20 days to show up?  FEMA denied emergency assistance for 2 weeks, claiming it wasn't their job, but FEMA does provide water, food, supplies, and hotels to illegal immigrants bussed from Florida/Texas to Democrat cities upon their arrival.  East Palestine residents are reporting various health issues, while the EPA and Biden Administration are assuring them everything is safe.  Who are the biggest villains here: Norfolk Southern Railway? FEMA? Buttigieg? Biden?  What if this had been a Republican Administration responding this way, and the community affected had been an inner-city minority community?  How could the Biden Administration and liberal media falsely claim this was Trump's fault for deregulating a certain type of electronic braking system?  The brakes in question were not even allowed to be used on the train in question.  The Obama Administration's GAO Report from 2015 showed this type of electronic braking system was too expensive and not cost-effective.  Since Trump deregulated it in 2018, Biden or Buttigieg have had 2 years to reinstate these brakes and have chosen not to.   And, again, even if they would have, the Ohio train could not have even had this type of brake.
