tell governor dewine why you don't feel safe. >> thank you for being here, governor dewine, and thank you, jake, for the question. i think i don't feel safe because i don't know what the future holds for my town. this has a potential to really decimate a small town like us and we just bought our forever home last year, and i want to stay. my family is here. whether alive or buried. my ancestors helped build this town. i live on a road that was named after my ancestors, and i want to know that it's safe to continue to live here and that people are going to want to come into our town to live as well. i just want to feel safe in my town again, and i don't feel safe right now. >> governor dewine? >> look, i fully understand -- well, i can't say i fully understand what you are going through because i didn't have that trauma inflicted upon me through absolutely no fault of anybody in the building. you know, it was two times, a train wreck and then the controlled release. so i understand that, you know, you're very, very concerned about what the future is. but what we're trying to do is to c

tell governor mike dewine why you don't feel safe. >> thank you for being here, governor dewine and thankake for the question. i think i don't feel safe because i don't know what the future holds for my town. this has the potential to really decimate a small town like us. and we just bought our forever home last year. and i want to stay. my family is here and whether alive or buried -- my ancestors helped build this town. i live on a road that was named after my ancestors. and i want to know that it is safe to continue to live here and that people are going to want to come into our town to live as well. i just want to feel safe in my town again. and i don't feel safe right now. >> governor mike dewine? >> look, i fully understand -- well, i can't say i fully understand what you are going through. because i did not have that trauma inflicted upon me. it's absolutely no fault of anybody in the village. it was two times -- the train wreck and then the controlled release. so, i understand that you are very, very concerned about what the future is. what we are trying to do is to continue to gi

here's governor dewine. first time we're hearing from him on this tragedy that occurred on february 3, but is now getting the kind of attention that perhaps it should have gotten right away. let's listen in and hear what the governor has to say here. >> good afternoon, everyone. we're holding this press conference today to bring people up to date. i know there's still questions about what is going on in east palestine. we've tried throughout this to continue to inform the public, everyone. most particularly the people that are directly affected. so today i brought many members of our team together to talk about the current monitoring that is going -- that is underway and to really answer any outstanding questions that may still be out there. today i have experts from the ohio environmental protection agency, the ohio department of health, the ohio department of agriculture, hall of fame department of public safety, ohio emergency management agency, the ohio department of transportation and the public utiliti

dewine: sure.o see what the results and the federal government finishes their investigation. they are the ones who come in and do the analysis of why this occurred. again, yes. we certainly do. you can't go through a situation like we just went throu and are dealing th right now and not be concerned. railroads are carrying, toxic -- carrying toxic material, and they have a catastrophic wreck such as this, yeah, it is very concerning. geoff: ohio governor mike dewine, thanks for your time. we appreciate it. gov. dewine: thank you. ♪ amna: the recently elected far-right government in israel took a clear step today toward passing highly controversial judicial reform. and its actions have created a massive reaction among israelis who stand against it, saying they could fundamentally alter rael's democracy. william brangham reports. william: the streets of jerusalem were flooded today with the largest demonstrations israel has seen in years. protestors thronged outside the knesset, the israeli parliamen

dewine: thank you. speaker stevens, president huffman, leader antonio, members of the general assembly, chief justice kennedy, justices of the ohio supreme court, elected officials, lieutenant governor houston, fellow citizens of ohio . we meet at a time of great opportunity for ohio. a time of great opportunity for ohio and its citizens. yet it is also a time of great challenges. our future is bright, but that future will be defined by how well we educate all our children. and how we tired -- tear down the barriers to their success. we are challenged as never before because at no time in our history has the full education of our children been more important. the budget that i will present to you today reflects the moral imperative we have to see that all ohioans are fully educated. therefore, every ohio in will have the tools to live up to their full god-given potential. [applause] gov. dewine: our budget is fiscally sound. spending one time and money on one-time expenditures. averting a fiscal cliff i

even tonight mike dewine clearly still doesn't care.e he is. >> you're a family governor, you'd be okay sending everybody back home? >> yeah. look, i mean we indicated that. we're going to continue to test the air, continue to test the water. but what's that indicating is that it is very, very safe. >> tucker: yes. we indicated that. kind of a clinical response. and a dishonest one, because, of course, mike dewine is not living in's, and there's not a chance of that ever. animals in's are dying by the thousands. you don't need to be a chemist to know that's not a good thing. the town has been poisoned. >> residents worrying about what's in the air, soil and their community. ohio officials confirming 35,000 fish died in local waters in the days after the derailment, but insist extensive testing shows there's no threat to other wildlife or humans. they say there's only an dotel evidence of residents getting sick, and no confirmed connection to the hazardous chemicals aboard the train. >> tucker: there's only anecdotal evidence. maybe tony

>> you know, i trust governor dewine. the state has primacy and the state is leading in this recovery and testing the water. as the governor said, if your water has been tested by the state, we believe it is safe to drink. if your water has not been tested or well has not been tested, i implore everyone to reach out to the state. get your water tested and until it is tested as the governor has directed, continue to rely on bottled water. i have confidence in the partnership that epa has with the state of ohio and if there are concerns reach out to state and local officials and we'll accommodate those tests. >> i didn't hear a conclusive answer on the water. are you saying it's safe or do you know? >> the drinking water is safe for those homes that have been tested and the data proves those homes are safe. there are as you know many people that rely on well water. i ask that if you rely on well water, have those wells tested. the state is ready to test those wells. until then, continue to drink bottled water until you get

whil, officials on the scene, meanwhile, declared the burn dquote, perfect.ohio a >>gr mike dewine, the governor f ohio, agreed with all of this. >> the people in charge, the railroads, engineers and the state official engineesd overseeing them had everythinger under control. so two days later,tw evacuation orders for residents were officially lifted, both in east palestine over the border in pennsylvania. iorders were link subsequent days, a lot of people have wondered out loud, was it really a wisewondered den to light thousands of gallons of vinyl chloride on fire, releasing a world war one era bioweapon into the air over a populated area? was that a good call? and was it really safe ? two days later for people to go back to their homes? >> and if it was safe , how do g we know thate ? the >> is anyone in charge hee actually monitoring with any accuracy? the level of deadly chemicals d in the air, ground and water inn and aroundai palestine? well, not , apparently nobodyth is . >> and that's highly upsettingau when you think about it. talk aboutre failure at all levels. >> the first

as governor dewine said yesterday the state is doing water quality testing. the epa is providing support for that water quality testing. for those homes that have not been tested, the state and governor are advising to remain on bottled water. we want to provide all of the resources we can to the state so they can test all of the water. >> dana: do you feel satisfied with the efforts being done not having seen it firsthand? >> i do. i feel very confident with the resources we deployed and i'll see it firsthand later this week. i wanted to be sure we were not diverting any resources to addressing this issue on the ground but yes, i want to see and verify for myself. i have complete confidence in the partnership with the state leadership on water quality testing and our ability to support that water quality testing. the air quality monitoring data that we're providing is done with the highest technologies available, air, mobile, and stationary air monitors to give us realtime data 24/7 so that we can insure safety. >> dana: governor dewine said yesterday if he

dewine himself asked about the j. d. vance comments basically rebutted them live, but there is a lot of concern. the wine himself told the people of east palestine to use bottled water, not only if they have private walls but they are still in the city system. there is still a lot of concern, and my hope and advice to everyone but the federal and say is that the most transparency, the better. especially in a moment that you just described, work there is so much distrust. i think more transparency, the better, so that if the toll that things are getting better, they see enough that they believe amid all the crazy political stuff, you just described. >> let me play that moment. governor dewine, who had a press conference today, was asked about j. d. vance, said the biden administration was slow walking this. there has not been and asked him urgency decoration, so the president cannot make one less the governor ask. here is the response. >> senator vance has been critical of the biden administration, even democrats have bee

i asked governor dewine, did you consult with other experts about whether orot this controlled release made sense prior to approving norfolk southern's request for controlled release? and his answer was, well, the pentagon helps us with modeling. then his administration has refused to answer any other questions from the lever about the controlled release. we are digging into it now. i think it is a very good question. i think governor schapiro is asking the right questions on this matter. we are going to continue digging into it. what we do know is -- we have an article that will be coming out either today or monday about this -- that looks at the dewine administration's response to this, looks at the dewine administration's and actions to norfolk southern, and we really hope -- we're definitely going to continue down this path looking into why exactly this controlled release happened which in and of itself is a propaganda term, a massive chemical burn, was not really a controlled release. amy: let's remember they did not even release, norfolk southern, what the chemicals were. it was

. >> lucas: that is right, ohio governor mike dewine says fema is declining to provide assistance attime. fema says they have been in contact with officials on the ground. senator vance wants fema to pay, not the american taxpayer. he is showing what he says is evidence of chemicals in the water. >> there are dead worms and dead fish in this water. what i discover, if you scrape the creek bed, chemical is coming out of the ground. >> lucas: in this small town of 5000 in eastern ohio, two weeks after the toxic derailment, residents are unsure if it is safe to drink the water. how has this impacted your life? >> it's been terrible, me and my six children. >> it is making me move out 've my house. >> people don't know if it is safe to drink the water, they say yes, we have fishkill everywhere. >> i have a well, i worry about the water. >> i don't see where the birds went. >> do you feel safe? >> i don't. >> i don't feel safe. >> lucas: president biden transportation secretary has not come to east palestine and says the train derailments happen too often. >> while this horrible situation

and governor dewine is holding this conference and where is pete buttigieg?'t he bring the resource of the treasury contempt. every time the you know what hits the fan he is somewhere else. he was in portugal during the rail strike crisis he was on paternity reeve during the 2001 supply chain crisis and awol now. this is not a good look for him if he wants to have a political future. >> bret: e.p.a. is on ground too, doug that's part of this testing and make sure it's safe. >> sure there's a dirty little secret in likes we don't talk about very often. it's okay to he will it the truth. that is especially true if you don't know the answer. you buy credibility in saying we don't know. we're looking in this. we're going to get answers. if you say we still have more questions than we have answers, that's fine to do. you can't do it three times a week then you look like you never know anything. but occasionally, tell that truth that you don't know and you are looking into it. that buys you time to get those answers and that's one of the things that we haven't seen

. >> tucker: that is the tone and chuckle at the end is oregoner mike dewine of -- governor mike dewine of ohio and great defender of ukraine and he's announce that had, well, thousands of people in his area. if you live in a two mile radius, shelter in place and keep your windows closed and residents closer to the mushroom cloud put up near a hotel. within days they were all let back in their home without the department of transportation and washington saying a word. one hazardous material specialist put t the whole town may be unsafe as a result of this. watch. >> railroad is responsible for this and these people going back to their homes and they should have been tested and holmes should have been cleaned from the onset these people were being marginalized in an effort to mitigate this and first they're being told go get a hotel and keep your receipts and we'll reimburse you. east palestine is a very poor community. some of these people don't have money to get hotels and do all this stuff. this really looks like a nuclear winter and i said pretty much, yeah. we nuked this town with c

governor dewine ourself said he would be drinking bottled water if he was here. safe for me and my children and pets to consume and nobody has tested our well water. we have asked for them to test it a week ago and still haven't heard anything. >> i want to know what my future holds here. i don't want to be here with my children and my grandchildren. i don't want to wait five, 10, 15 years for us to get sick. i want to our complaint alleges the negligence of the railroad company and we are like everyone else, we are going to try to find some answers for these people. they deserve answers. >> todd: they need answers. brooke singman joins us with the latest. brooke? >> furious ohio residents were hoping to get some answers last night following the toxic chemical spill that has devastated east palestine. the city's mayor also expressing his own frustration with the lack of aid for his town. listen. >> trying to get information out there. everybody is concerned. i'm concerned, but, you know, it's not norfolk southern here. the e.p.a., the people been working with us

governor dewine talked to biden on the first day and biden said, "whatever you need."day one said, we've all been there, fema and the governor and the regional dea, that guy michael reagan and somebody doesn't think -- no one trust the government. but when dewine asked the federal government for fema assistance, they said, nope you were to be can't. this is not property damage. this is not a tornado or a hurricane. we will not help you. now, that means they don't give a damn and they don't care. why is the federal government not recognizing there is an issue that needs to be address? coal out the department of health and human's and call out the cdc, coal out me too movement but don't say we are there for you and didn't show up. when you can go into a foreign country on presidents' day and give them half a billion dollars of our money and not take care of 5,004 people forgotten people because it's not within the statutory guidelines, who is going to sue you if you don't send fema? >> greg: if we told them putin the rail the train. last word, dana, make it count. >> dan

why is dewine not doing his job? why is fema not here? aren't we getting answers when we were supposed to get answers? >> tucker: maybe dewine will show up. you guys voted for him. you put him there. maybe he'll take out of his busy schedule to show up. i hope so. corky miller, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> tucker: for years now, we've been told if you work at a big company, you were forced to declare your pron pronouns. why? what's really going on here? what is the pronoun thing about? we'll take a look at it next. ♪ no. ♪ -no. -nuh-uh. ♪ yeah. oh. yes. ♪ oh yeah. yes. isn't this great? yeeaahhhh!! ♪ yeah, i could do a cartwheel in here. oh hey! would you like to join us? no. we would love to join you. ♪ >> tucker: so this state your pronouns thing has been going on for years, but nobody has explained what it's about. it's crystal-clear what sex somebody is, we've had a million years of training whether someone is the opposite or same-sex. unless you're pat from "saturday night live," there's no quest

ohio governor mike dewine wants congress to investigate. >> governor dewine's exactly right, this traingh hazardous. we're looking into why that was. that's likely a screw-up on the department of transportation side, and we're investigating that as we speak. >> reporter: senators j.d. vance and marco rubio are among a growing number of lawmakers calling out transportation secretary pete buttigieg for not going the east palestine personally and for not doing more to help the people there. buttigieg, on the other hand, tweeted he's constrained on some areas, seemingly placing some of the blame on the trump administration if for a rule change to train braking systems from back in 2018. either way, experts say the law needs to change. >> at some point in time, the excuses have to end, and people have to be safe. what happened in east palestine, it happened in youngstown the, it could happen in washington, d.c., it could happen anywhere. and we've got to realize that, yeah, we've got to make some laws. >> reporter: the company who operated the rain the, norfolk southern, is facing several la

governor dewine, thank you. we appreciate your time today. we're hoping that the information that you have now is correct and that it continues to be. a lot of concerns of the people on the ground. many of them say they don't want to go home. don't want to go back to that area. so we'll see how this goes. thank you, sir. good to have you with us today. >> thank you. >> martha: breaking right now, president biden was just speaking. this is the post speech moments here that you're looking at in lamham, maryland. he was talking about the u.s. economy despite a new read on the inflation. there's mixed signals on the u.s. economy. charles payne will tell us what he makes of this right now after this. i know the markets have gone up and down, but you're right on track to reach your goals. my ameriprise advisor helps me feel confident about my financial future. he knows me and my goals. it's not the first uncertain environment he's helped me navigate. probably won't be the last. but with his advice, i know i'm on track. the plan we created can withs

not ohio governor mike dewine who's slow walk this assistance from the federal government.ecretary pete buttigieg who waited ten days to address the disaster. funnily enough the only person seemingly eager to talk about the derailment is donald trump who visited east palestine this week as a political stunt. it particularly violent political stunt given it was his administration that in 2017 gutted obama air transit regulations that sought to prevent crashes. crashes just like the one and east palestine. my panel is back with me. molly, the trump administration weekend rail safety rules. trump in my opinion should be apologizing to the people of east palestine. instead he's at mcdonald's there talking to them -- do you think is winning the pr game just by being on the ground there and doing what he is doing? >> so it wasn't this specific regulation that he wrote. i think it's important just to be specific. there was a specific regulation he wrote back that would not necessarily prevent this. but again, regulation would've prevented this. he was at war with government regula

this is from governor dewine yesterday. comfortable with the tapwater.eason i mentioned it, people might say test fine now, perfectly okay to drink now. that might not always be the case. shouldn't part of the conservative approach here to be not to drink it in the meantime? >> look if people don't want to drink it that's fine. that's up to them. neil: all right. so governor dewine on this whole water thing was essentially saying, toma, it is your call if you feel uncomfortable, even if your customers come in feel uncomfortable, drinking it you don't have to. what do you personally do? >> well i mean my clients aren't worried about drinking the water. we have bottled water for them. they're worried about water being used on them. your skin can absorb so much, if there is any traces of anything in the water. they're just afraid. neil: i can see that. we're getting reports where a lot of kids in your community, there is no team they can play because other teams are afraid to come to your town whether basketball, other sports, they're sort of ostracized. th

ohio's governor, mike dewine, acknowledging the unprecedented nature of the disaster.ever seen something like this? >> no, i've never experienced anything like this. >> reporter: outrage and concern gaining momentum as days ticked by. consumer advocate erin brockovich, who fought for clean water in her california town, is stepping in to support the residents of east palestine. >> i am so concerned about what's happening here. and a much deeper systemic problem. >> reporter: authorities reassured the community from the start that they're safe, but some locals tell a different story. these gas monitors dot the town, including this one hanging from a stop sign across from ashley mccollum's home. the detectors say the air is safe, but she says her nose makes her feel differently. >> if i can smell it and it's alarming enough that it's not a good smell, it makes me feel like i shouldn't be in the area. >> reporter: she took this video the night of the derailment. >> what caused it? my son, as soon as i saw him break down and start crying and tell me he's so scared, he's afr

we have a republican governor in ohio, governor dewine. we have a democratic, newly elected democratic governor in pennsylvania, governor schapiro. both of them seem to be working together on how do we both get the best done for the people who live on both sides of the state lines and who have been impacted. none of the people who woke up the morning of february 3 had anything in their heads except their daily life, chores and slings and arrows. they never knew by 9:00 p.m. that evening they would become people with the lived experience of a toxic disaster. and i empathize with them. they're confused. they're needing to have better answers. they should be put into the center of the follow crumb of how do we get the better answers to both ensure their own personal health but also the health of the surrounding environment that they hope to continue to live within, but hopefully also on behalf of all the other small communities who were on the same rail line, that 32-n rail train traveled from illinois, it was headed to pennsylvania. so the t

governor dewine said himself he would drink bottled water if he was here.t here and tell me the water is okay for me and my children and okay to consume if you are telling me to drink bottled water at the same time. my houses on the creek coming from the palestinian with dead fish. in my water too. >> ashley: ohio epa said they test the five wells that feed into the water supply and there were no contaminants, yet, they are saying it is safe to go home, these dead fish but drink bottled water. how is it safe to go home if you see the fish floating around? have you thought about this yourself? >> yes, right past my house and nobody has tested are well water. we have asked them to test and we can go but haven't heard anything. >> ashley: they never responded? they answered that they would get back to us but we haven't seen anybody, and actually do it. >> ashley: are you guys afraid to take a shower or drink your water? what are you doing right now? >> we do take showers. speed to write. james, over to you. go on, shelby or no, i think it was erin talking. >>

well, video then shows him being handcuffed and put in a patrol car. >> the public governor mike dewine, addressed the situation during that press conference. take a listen. it's always been my practice. >> if i'm doing a press conference, someone wants to report out there and they want to be talking to the people back on channel. whatever they have a right to do that. so, you know, that should if that someone was stopped from doing that, we're told they cannot do that. that was wrong. it was nothing that i authorized a and certainly would be something that i would not want to see happen. this happens. you know, we do this. i do this all the time. so i'm i'm certainly very, very sorry that that happened. i don't know all the facts, but he or she whoever was arrested at every right to be reporting and do what they do every single day. >> well, an emotional lambert spoke to news nation immediately after his release from jail. take a listen. >> no journalist expects to be arrested when you're doing your job. and i think that's really important that that doesn't happen in our country and ob

that is why mike dewine would take the dollars coming their way.don't need disaster relief and a traditional way but allocation dollars, get it done. if one person dies, that is such a stain on your record. it is also a stain on your soul that you stood up there and said, "it is fine here for these people." that is what erin brockovich was talking about. why play games with these people's lives? >> she's never seen anything like this in her entire life. >> jessica: that is saying a lot. >> dana: jesse, give the less question to you. this article "the new york times," this guy is quoted in there 28, he and his wife were talking about moving away for good but the quote, "this town was starting to come back and now it is going to die." >> jesse: it breaks your heart. to jump off of what greg said, the facts that fox is driving this story tells you so much about who fox is and what other people think fox is. you have one billion-dollar radial tycoon who is spreading so much money around washington and ohio that these lobbyists then have done whatever t

governor dewine is there on the ground in ohio so they've got that. you are the representative that can most get answers from the biden administration from department of transportation and epa. your thoughts on how they are doing. >> i can only go by what i hear from the local authorities there. the mayor yesterday indicated to me that he is getting everything that he is asking for. he believes that the epa, the national transportation safety board that is looking at how this accident happened, is all over it. certainly there still remain some questions. we are a long way from concluding this. but at least at this point it appears that the epa, the national transportation safety board, that they have responded and are communicating openly and transparently with the local authorities. and so that's the report that i got from the mayor. now i will tell you, my staff has been in touch with the epa. we have offered them our support. we have told them that we are standing by for anything that they need. and so we will continue that engagement. i have not t

dewine was on "fox & friends" and they held his feet to the fire. and brian got really angry.story i would say the last two or three days has taken hold of a national audience, which obviously in a credibly big deal in ohio and we weren't paying attention to it but people are frightened. i saw a grandfather who takes care of his three granddaughters who was interviewed and he was covered in rashes until a couple of days ago. and they showed all the pictures of it. that is irrefutable evidence. something is not right. is it going to cause cancer? i have absolutely no idea but you know you don't want to be there. so the judge's point about 1,000 derailments, it is important to talk about a safety issue. it was an issue 2014 a crash somewhere in new jersey where they were tossing chemicals on board appear at the obama administration put forward a new rule they want to pass to upgrade the brake systems if it had petroleum on it as well as toxic chemicals bear that got watered down to remove the toxic chemicals part of it. and then norfolk southern and other railroad hubs, you talk

republican ohio governor mike dewine is standing by with reaction. go to mike tobin live in east palestine, ohio. good morning, mike. >> good morning. that ntsb report is really 0ing in on a wheel on the 23rd car in the freight train. sensors along the train tracks and the wheels were getting hot. the wheel bearings heated up some 215 degrees information a 30-mile stretch. that sent an alarm to the engineer. he started braking the train, automatic brakes kicked in. by that time the wheel bearings failed and train derailed. axle and wheel were so hot the car was carrying a lot of plastic and it caught on fire. secretary pete buttigieg arrived to inspect the scene seemingly regretful of the administration's slow response. >> i want to balance two things. my desire to be involved and engaged and on the ground, which is how i am generally wired to act. and my desire to follow the norm of transportation secretaries allowing ntsb to really lead the initial stages of the public work. whether i got that balance right. >> an informal sample of people here in

governor dewine, thank you very much.ve." >> i'm greg gutfeld with judge jeanine pirro, piers morgan, dana perino, "the five." >> greg: president biden getting slammed over a split screen moment as americans in ohio say they're getting sick from toxic chemicals. the president was thousands of miles away in poland for support for ukraine. >>
