0:00.0 | I am back for my reporting in East Palestine, and boy was last week a wild ride. |
0:05.0 | From getting to ask former President Trump about Biden's disregard of the toxic train derailment to confronting Pete Buttigieg about the federal government's slow response, it was incredible to watch the difference between Americans' responses to both Trump and Buttigieg being on the ground. |
0:19.5 | Now, sadly, Joe Biden doesn't think the residents |
0:21.5 | of East Palestine are worth a visit, but he was able to make an entire trip overseas to Ukraine |
0:26.5 | before his administration pledged another $10 billion to the country. And sadly, since we've last |
0:32.6 | talked, we are inching closer to World War III. That is very much a reality. As Biden continues to send our |
0:38.5 | taxpayer dollars overseas, while American citizens continue to battle record high inflation rates |

1:30.7 | Almost every single right-wing network picked up this footage. |
1:35.6 | And on top of that, we got into multiple different publications as well. So I would venture to say that we were able to hold Pete Buttigieg accountable and hold his feet to the fire. |
1:42.2 | And on a national stage, bring light to the federal government's |
1:46.1 | slow response to the poor residents of East Palestine, Ohio. |
1:49.9 | So truly to every single person here who has supported me since day one, thank you so much |
1:54.7 | for being here with me as I have continued to report on the ground. |
1:58.0 | Thank you for always supporting me. |
1:59.5 | And most importantly, thank you for inspiring me. I was able to go on Laura ground. Thank you for always supporting me. And most importantly, thank you for |
2:01.1 | inspiring me. I was able to go on Laura Ingraham's show while I was over there. And it was |
