victims. >> i wake up every day. i have been sick with my upper congestion. this morning i woke up with my eyes swelled. >> my kids, we're just running in to grab something and going back to grandma's house because they keep breaking out in rashes. >> the kids do? >> yeah. >> i work by the rail track. i have experienced headaches and coughing. i try not to go outside because every time i go outside my throat gets scratchy. >> i have sore throat, headaches. my husband still has a headache. >> jesse: but ohio fauci, remember him? says she's symptoms are just like cold-like symptoms. have nothing to do with the chem warfare unleashed on ohio. slap on a bow tie and lab coat and you are the voice of god. the life in this town is being sucked up. first it was piles of dead fish in the rivers which they said was no big deal. and then it was dead chickens in the barnes and now, even indoor cats are dropping dead. >> they tell me well it seems to be run-of-the-mill congestive
4:03 pm
heart failure. >> vets put leo on medicine to remove fluid around his heart and lucks but it wasn't working. blood work tests show his liver enzymes were about seven times higher than normal. according to documentation from pittsburgh veterinary specialty, an emergency clinic who treated leo, they believe the cat's condition, quote: could be due to vinyl chloride gases. >> jesse: i'm pretty sure it could be. you can't walk outside in palestine without getting a whiff of chemicals. >> so i'm buy the train tracks refusely spill happen it stinks out here it. smells weird over here for sure. there's a lot of people down there. you see a lot of workers. i don't know if they are with the e.p.a. or what. but that is definitely where the train is. and it stinks over here. >> the city is still being forced to go back to work. kids are being sent back to school locked down for covid but not chemical explosion. they are being told it's all
4:04 pm
safe as long as you don't notice your home is covered in ash. >> as you can see it's covered. i take the samples and holding them and put them in a bag. >> you don't think people's lungs look like that grill right now? all of these people are inhaling cancerous ash and no one cares. the e.p.a. administrator michael reagan is actually saying everything is fine. he says the water there is actually pretty good. tasty. you should go try it yourself. >> would you feel comfortable bathing your children in the water or drinking that water? >> >> based on the results of those homes that have been tested, if those test results have come back and said that the air quality is okay and the water's okay, i would remain in my home
4:05 pm
and i would drink the water. >> jesse: hey, guys, the water is really good and may taste like expired dr. pepper. we tested it and you're fine. the e.p.a. didn't even test and it we'll get to that later. until biden's e.p.a. guy comes down to palestine and guzzles a gallon of faucet water, don't believe a thing he says. usually when there is a natural disaster, politicians, cabinet officials, even maybe the president go to ground zero. they hug survivors. they comfort children, they hold a press conference and say everything's going to be okay. we got your back. but biden officials aren't going near this town. trust us they are telling you. like we should believe what the government tells us at this point because the government has never lied to us, right? especially about what's good for us. the biden team just put out a food pyramid that says lucky charms are healthier than an egg. sorry, but people should listen to their gut not the government at this point. aren't these the same people who told us that flint, michigan's
4:06 pm
water system was good to drink? even though the water was brown coming out of the tap? remember the e.p.a. also lied to new yorkers about 9/11? they said the air around ground zero was totally safe. they told them to go outside and get some fresh air, inhale it. and 10 years later, thousands of people wound up with cancer. the e.p.a. is setting east palestine up to be another stat. and the people there they see through it. >> i want to know why we feel unsafe. i feel like we're being lied to. >> we're not safe. tell us the truth. you can smell it. we're not stupid. i think it's miserable. i think they could do so much more for the people of this town. >> to be honest with you, i do not feel anywhere in this town is safe. there's a lot of questions as far as just what the real world is actually doing. it's almost like people are thinking it's a cover-up just to get things, you know, running
4:07 pm
and on their part. >> jesse: sounds like a lot of these people are being forgotten. remember that word? it's like it doesn't even matter that a small rust belt town just got a chemical nuke dropped on them by a rail company? is no one fighting here for the little guy? where is mr. empathy? mr. forgotten man? where's the guy who talked the big game? >> investing in places and people that have been forgotten. so many of you listening tonight, i know you feel it, so many of you felt like you have just simply been forgotten. too many people have been left behind and treated like they are invisible. so many of you, so many of the folks i grew up with feel left behind, forgotten. it's frightening. i want to speak directly to you. >> jesse: today, joe biden was talking about trains in baltimore. but he has never mentioned the train in palestine. why? it's not his kind of people.
4:08 pm
>> joe biden hasn't said anything publicly. what do you think about that? >> [inaudible] this is the middle of trump territory. >> what do you think about the secretary of transportation pete buttigieg he has barely said anything. he actually had media availability but he was talking about the chinese spy balloon and laughing about it. >> yeah. i think they are too busy watching the chinese balloons fly by. and trying to ignore this problem. >> jesse: biden would rather help out someone who breaks into the country illegally than the people of east palestine. remember democrats moved heaven and earth for a venezuelan migrant? they will buy them a culturally appropriate peels of food, but the them up in a posh hotel here in times square. give them phones, exboxes, plane tickets, even lawyers. democrat mayors will even sleep overnight in a sleeping bag in brooklyn just to make some illegal feel more comfortable. see, it's not so bad, even i'm
4:09 pm
doing it. but when our own citizens get toxic chemicals spilled all over their town, they light the chemicals on fire and make them sign lawsuit waivers and then no show at the town hall that way in 10 years when they get cancer they can't sue them? we have spent billions helping illegals but we're going to stiff red-blooded americans in ohio and then claim we care about the forgotten men and women of this country? pretend to care about the working man? pretend to care about the environment? it doesn't matter what democrats say. just watch what they do and right now they aren't doing a thing. let's bring in tulsi gabbard, former presidential candidate and congresswoman. she is also a fox news contributor. you know, it's not that hard to forget about these people. they are on t. have a lot. on the top rated channel in the news country, tulsi. where is biden? where is mayor pete? let's stop forgetting about the
4:10 pm
people you claim to want to not forget about. >> exactly, jesse. it's no wonder that these people don't trust these -- our leaders. these people are in positions of great power and leadership to do exactly what these people need them to do, to show up, to be there, to provide them with exactly what they need during this massive catastrophe. but, guess what? they're not there, and they are not paying attention to them, because they don't care. they see themselves as masters. they see the rest of us as adversaries and subjects. they -- you know, the american people are basically an after thought. they are very happy to take our taxpayer dollars. very happy to spend them as they please. spend trillions on military adventures around the world. leaving people like those in palestine, ohio, those in jackson, mississippi who don't have access to clean drinking water, leaving my fellow veterans to struggle and beg and plead for pennies just to help address those struggles and those who are suffering.
4:11 pm
i deployed with a lot of folks who lived every single day under a huge plume of smoking that came from toxic burn pits. there are so many veterans right now who are in the post 9/11 generation who are suffering from rare cancers and diseases that the v.a. and the dod still today refuse to recognize and provide them care for. so you have pointed out so many examples of how we, the american people, have been lied to hey, just trust us. this is fine. everything is going to be okay. and yet more and more people are suffering, begging for help. and still those in power showing they really don't care. they care more about themselves and their own power than they do about caring for the american people. >> jesse: president biden claimed his son died from a burn pit in iraq. there is a burn pit in ohio basically and the guy is m.i.a. i'm getting this report here. the e.p.a. is looking like didn't really do any of the tests on the water. the rail company that caused the spillage hired some in-house shop, some firm to do all the
4:12 pm
testing. and it's the same type of firm that b.p. hires to say oh, yeah, the gulf of mexico is totally fine after b.p. dumped a bazillion gallons of oil into it. that's the kind of place -- exactly the same shop. and, tulsi it's like a john grisham novel. handing out pieces of paper. before we come in to test your water to see if it's clean. sign this piece of paper so you won't sue us. this is a scandal. do the republicans need to drop everything they are doing with these hearings and focus on this? >> yes, they should. the people there in palestine deserve r.r. deserve it. the american people deserve it. the conflict of interest there that you are pointing out that the company that's responsible for this disaster is legally liable for this disaster has now been the one supposedly in charge of saying hey, trust us, your water is okay. your air is okay. go back to school. go back to work. give me a break. how is this not in their best
4:13 pm
financial interest leaving the health both short and long term impacts of these people on the line. that is what is at stake here. >> jesse: they bailed on the town hall. they bail at the last second. they say, you know, i'm not going to show up. >> yeah. that right there just shows exactly who they care about. they don't care about the people there in palestine. they don't care about the people who are being potentially at -- put at risk by the fact that the ohio river has been found to be contaminated with this stuff. we are talking a lot about the air. but the fact that the water has been found to be contaminated. they have tested it. the toxins are there. but they are saying don't worry about it, it's a big river. the toxins will be small enough by the big river. give me a break. >> jesse: until mayor pete comes to palestine and takes a bath in the water that they claim is so pure, i don't think anybody should bathe there, bathe their children. i will believe it when i see it, when the guys in charge actually come down and show what's up.
4:14 pm

4:31 pm
seemen let him walk with a misdemeanor. never served a day in jail. the fact that he didn't have a felony on his record made it possible for him to buy guns after he got off probation the man's own father almost red flagged him to get the guns out of the house but didn't happen. so, everyone blew it. the judges, the d.a.s, the dad, but, if you listen to the media, the gun's the problem and we all need to lose our rights. >> well, you know, it's kind of crazy because i think of all of the banning of stuff that's going on in this country. banning of books, books don't kill people. banning of trans people, i don't know any trans people or of any trans people that have killed people. >> jesse: whoa, i'm going to have to stop you right there. have you ever heard of google? we googled trans killers and within seconds you find out a bunch of trans murders maybe you don't know them personally but we know of them.

4:34 pm
get anything done in this country if they lie and we have to point out the truth. >> there are lies coming from the white house which has a lot of gravitas and the white house press podium every single day not silly ones like joe biden is our best communicator although that's true in ted. realize inflation is transitory. crime is not going up in every major city. i also wanted to say something else. people like to make everything about race and sexual orientation and religion and politics. the fact is, that the largest increase in firearm sales and ownership in the last few years was among black men and black women in this country. it's up 58.2% according to one study. they want to protect themselves like the rest of us do. and, jesse, "the washington post," abc news poll was released last week. i'm sure they were sorry that they asked this question and will never do it again. they showed a 7 point dip from 56% to 49% among americans who favor a, quote, assault weapons ban. and do you know why that is? joe biden says we need an assault weapons ban. the guy at michigan state used a
4:35 pm
pistol. and people know that every time you call for an assault weapons ban you are doing it and nothing happens. then we go onto the next shooting quote nothing happens. they don't trust that they think you are trying to disarm and remove the second amendment right from law-abiding citizens. >> jesse: the guy used a pistol in a gun-free zone and look what happened and the soros d.a. let the guy skate. what else should we do kellyanne? she wants to turn the whole country infantry into a gun-free zone. what are we going to do with the criminals. >> like they do in california. >> jesse: break into theview some day and just knock their heads together, please? the country, i think, would give you a medal. thank you and tough loss. >> i will see you on the set of "the view." >> jesse: tough loss on sunday. >> tough loss but we love our birds. see you in vegas. >> jesse: senator feinstein is retiring and this time she knows about it. there was some confusion yesterday when feinstein's staff

this accident is not here to be accountable. but i can tell you what, i am here. i'm gonna stay here. i was here on monday. i walked around with the mayor, the fire chief, some of the emergency crews, the e.p.a. representatives of norfolk southern. i'm going to stay here. and if the railroad is not here tonight but i'm taking their questions. and anybody that's got a question for norfolk southern that they can't get to them tonight, i will take their question and make sure that they get an answer. >> jesse: well, i have a question if you can ask norfolk southern. are they going into people's homes and making them sign liability waivers in order to test the water? >> you know, i haven't heard that. i haven't seen that. i'm going to ask about that when i talk to -- when i get out of here tonight. tonight's first time that i have heard that. but i have not heard that from any of the residents here. >> jesse: can i give you another question? can you ask the e.p.a. if they did their own testing because
4:47 pm
we're hearing that norfolk southern hired a private contractor to do all the testing. and you know what it means whether they hire a private contractor and they get the results that they want. >> yeah. i will go back and ask the e.p.a. that. it's my understanding that the e.p.a. has overseen all of the testing. i mean, they are the ones responsible for enforcement of the clean air act and the clean water act. so legitimately they should be the ones that is pulling the trigger on the testing and validating that the testing is being done properly. but i -- the regional director is here. i understand the e.p.a. administrator is going to be here tomorrow. so, yes. i will find out about that. but it's the first time tonight that i have heard anything about waivers of liability. >> jesse: okay. well, please send my love to everybody in the town and they have our support and we're not going to stop covering the story
4:48 pm
and thank you, congressman, for what you're doing. you seem to be really on top of it and thanks for communicating everything to us and communicating our questions to the people. >> jesse, thanks for giving me a chance to be on. we'll go back in and continue the work. >> jesse: all right. please do. thank you. >> jesse: well, when it comes to mini madoff, nothing is what it seems. he's not a billionaire philanthropist. is he a schemer. he is not a shy, innocent tech nerd is he a orgy enthusiast. i'm starting to wonder if he is even a vegan. when mini madoff was finally arrested and released on a record quarter million dollars bail. we were told it was the biggest bond in history. nicholas ruiz the u.s. attorney running the case said so. we all figured at the very least he would have to cough up what, 10, 15%, which is $37 million?
4:49 pm
but, like we said, nothing is as it seems. it turns out crypto fetterman didn't have to post a regular bail bond. he got something called personal recognizance bond which means mini was free to go without putting up any cash. he just had to pinky swear to pay the quarter billion if he skips. now, mini is a trustworthy guy. you can take him at his word. i know what you are thinking. wait a second. didn't mini have two sugar brothers? and that's true. and they barely put up any money. today we found out who the sugar brothers were. they were unmasked. andreas and larry kramer. two stafford university guys put up the bond. cramer kicked in a half a mill and papke floated about 200 grand. that's far from a quarter billion. so, who are these guys? well, pepke is a tech professor.
4:50 pm
i don't know professors carried around that kind of cash, but the other sugar bro is larry cramer, the former dean of stanford's law school. my first question is why did two stanford professors want to free mini that badly? and, two, how did they cobble together that kind of scratch on teacher's salaries and, three, why did biden's u.s. attorney prosecuting the case claim that mini paid the biggest bail in history when he didn't? next, american men are in mourning after raquel welch passes away. ♪ ♪ ♪ma ma ma ma♪ [clears throut] for fast sore throat relief, try vicks vapocool drops with two times more menthol per drop*, and the powerful rush of vicks vapors for fast-acting relief you can feel. vicks vapocool drops. fast relief you can feel.
