5:06 pm
only person who came to my door that i am aware was is norfolk southern early on. >> how about you russell. >> you get and information, they did open that clinic tuesday. the media here was reporting it wrong, they said it was a treatment clinic. they are not doing treatment. the wife and i did go. they just did data collection, they find out where you were and two mile radius and how much you are there, they will refer you to a pcp if you don't have one, they had mental health there in an rv outside of the church with a couple therapists. elizabeth: what did you think of former president trump's visit, delivering truck-loads of supplies. >> i thought it was wonderful. here is a guy that just like the rest of them that brought water, they were businessmen. they were contractors, there
5:07 pm
was mobillia farms that brought us water for the horses, we regular people you know stepping up that they have payroll to make, yet our agencies fall short. kind of makes you upset a bit. elizabeth: bob, what did you think of trump's visit, trump is getting criticized for not going to fatal train crashes on his watch, this is a toxic chemical train derailment, potentially contaminating mull intelle multiple states in ohio river, when did you make of his visit? >> it was a private thing. there were a lot of people that wanted to attend. i think they were expecting some kind of a rally like he had in the past. but i think he did a decent job of just connecting with the local people. the officials and just reassuring us that he's behind us and to what he can to take care of the issues. >> bob what did you think of
5:08 pm
pete buttigieg's visit? >> really have no comment, i don't know much about the guy. i shouldn't say. to me, a a lot is for show for them, they are here for a while, then they are gone, we have to deal with norfolk southern and get made whole. elizabeth: russell, your reaction to former president trump and secretary buttigieg, buttigieg was there three weeks after the crash, and his press secretary blocked residents of yourtain town from asking him questions. >> this community needs are not excuses. all of the other things you have been hearing, but answers and results. -- we have told you loud and clear you are not for gotten. too many cases our goodness and perseverance met with indeference. >> again, on terms of times of visit, i'm trying to strike the right balance
5:09 pm
allowing ntsb to play with the role. >> can we ask why it took him almost 3 weeks to get here? >> i'm sorry, not on camera. >> what was his personal time off. >> i'm having him talk you to off camera. >> why he waited until president donald trump came here to actually make an appearance this say opi important question that people would like to know. >> i would be happy to have a conversation with you, i do not' to be on camera. elizabeth: that is the job of treasury press secretary, answering questions on camera. what did you make of this? >> i made, this morning, i seen him on fox news, and he was being m, to by the epa and norfolk southern employee, he never looked out of place, he looked like a 6 grader that got a book
5:10 pm
report assignment that was given to him friday it was due monday, he looked so out of place, he don't belong there, give him a pink slip, he needs to go away, he does not do good. elizabeth: to russell's point, bob this is a toxic dump rain wreck, this is about caring about working class americans. >> it is. and you are correct. we don't feel much love from the government. it is terrible. elizabeth: you know senator joe manchin, even he is a democrat he called this unacceptable last week a senior administration official did not visit until two weeks after the crash, other agents there after, still no fema aid, your town
5:11 pm
is suffering, we don't want it to turn to a ghost town this government needs to step in and help you right now, russell. >> hurry sure, i'm still waiting to well water testing, my wife and daughter are bath takers, i'm a shower taker, they are freaking out, they don't know if they can take a b bath yet or not, i am a huge out doors man i am waiting from a phone call or oarfish a -- the fish and game commission telling us don't eat what you harvest this year. this is massive, beyond scales of this town of 4700 people don't know how to deal with. >> it is heart breaking and to what russell is saying, the ntsb said it was preventible. i know you don't want to get into politics, but buttigieg
5:12 pm
blames deregulation under trump, the rules exempted that train from more safety oversight it was not considered a high hazardous toxic flammable train because not all of the cars were filled with the toxic flammable liquids, when you heard that, what was your first reaction. >> i can't believe they could say that with a straight face. the massive amount of chemicals there were more that didn't burn as i understand it. no expert but so much hearsay, 5 of cars was highly toxic. was involved in in the spill and the fire and the whole thing, this is politics as usual. why do they have to blame trump for everything, he has been gone for two years it is ridiculous. elizabeth: what do you think about that? >> yeah.
5:13 pm
then come to find out from ntsb preliminary report today that i watched, it lays it out there in black and white, they want to flame him for that braking system that did not get pushed that braking system didn't have anything to do with that. when you listen to report, them cars came out of tracks then the braking system applied. it is not even up for discussion there is no fl blame there the flame is at biden administration and clown show representing us in dc . elizabeth: it had flammable fo toxic chemicals on the it. this is the bottom line. stop with the finger pointing that is it. bob and r russell, we'll stay on the story we're worried about you, your town, families and pets and animals this outrageous thank you so much for joining us we'll stay on it.
5:14 pm
>> thank you. elizabeth: joining us now matthew whitaker. move to this story. good to see you. in your opinion did the fore woman of special grand jury jeopardize the case. this races concerns she could be destroying the prosecution's case. >> i think this is a major concern for a couple reasons, not only is she hurting the prosecutors who are trying to decide whether this is a case to bring, she has undermined confidence in the grand jury process. if you watch this woman speak and you think about her leading the jury as the elected foreperson, this is frightening someone like this would be given that type of power to determine whether or not charges should be brought, whether it is against former president trump or others.
5:15 pm
i think this -- her going public with this, on the media tour she went on, that will undermine, if they were going to bring charge its weakening those cases. >> report come in that trump's legal team and lawyers close to several witnesses may nov to quash any possible indictments. let's sit back and please get your reaction to what happened with emily, the fore woman. >> after everything that you have seen, what would your reaction be if d.a. decides again bringing charges. >> -- against brings charges. >> i will be sad if nothing happens. that's about my only request, is for something to happen. >> is it -- would you say with there are indictments recommended. of course,. >> yes. >> is it more than 12 people? or more than 20 people? >> i think if you look at
5:16 pm
page numbers of the report, there is about 6 pages in the middle that got cut out. allow for spacing. >> i wanted to hear from the former president, i thought it would be cool to get 60 seconds of president trump of me looking at him saying do you solemnly swear, i thought that would be awesome moment. elizabeth: on camera, enjoying herself, and biased. talking about how she would be sad if the da does not bring indictments and secret deliberations, the judge ordered no one to talk. if he did not speak, if we did not' anything about this, was -- is it safe to say or argue that prosecutors purposely picked her because she is
5:17 pm
malleable. she would do what she wanted to go after trump and not weigh in balance with integrity the facts. >> well, yeah, that is one of the greatest of our country, the grand jury system, then the trial jury system. that is one of few areas where ordinary is thes citizens can be involved in criminal justice, it is clear this individual, and the prosecutors office did not take the proceedings seriously. there is -- she in addition to everything that she said, undermines any credibility of this special grand jury, she also told us about how they were frat ernizing and going to ice cream parties together with the prosecution team. i have never seen anything like this before, i have presented a lot of evidence to a lot of grand juries and never seen this type of socialization. elizabeth: they are talking about this grand jury, republican witnesses, lied
5:18 pm
under oath they were bringing perjury indictments that throws everything up in the air. >> yeah. the final word and i'm not sure that this foreperson with your grand jury members were in a position to evaluate what the but and facts were and determine the charging decisions, i think this undermining the case. elizabeth: thank you matthew whitaker. >> this shock trend. multiple states that include defund police cities now losing hundreds of cops to florida. governor desantis is recruiting them. >> and is hunter biden a business partner cooperating with the probe? we'll talk with house oversight chair james comer next on "the evening edit." a dedicated advisor

5:24 pm
finances, it should be in one of the business dealings they were involved in high is a key figure independenting what types of deals the -- in understanding the types of deals that biden families were involved in and the sources of foreign revenue that was coming in to the personal accounts of the bidens and understanding what the source of that revenue was. we're pleased to be working with him there is an e-mail mr. sherwin sends on "moonlight" hu hunter might -- hunter biden his father -- he was doing to deposit that and write hunter a check why joe biden, this guy had access so joe biden's checking account. at the end of the day we're trying to determine whether or not joe biden lied to the american people about his knowledge and his dealings with the families influence

5:26 pm
appreciative he is willing thus far to be corporative and look forward to a lot of information in the very near future. elizabeth: you have asked, what is the biden family the business. yet they have millions, are you talking bribery and corruption? >> we don't know. it is odd to receive this much money from these sources in adversarial countries and not have anything to show for it you talk about other people democrats want us to investigate say jared dokushner, i know what business he was involved in and but the bidens, what is their account as you said they did not manufacture anything or licensed to sell anything, what did they do to j generate millions of dollars. elizabeth: are you subpoena
