- The Joe Rogan experience.
- Did you see the guy in East Palestine
that talks like Mickey Mouse now?
- Yeah, I did.
I was just swallowing a true brain.
- What's that?
- It's a nootropic, you wanna try it?
- Yeah.
- Dude was on my podcast once,
with a doctor and he came up with this stuff.
- Really?
Is it orange flavored?
- I think it was a doctor.
Was he a doctor?
I don't wanna give anybody extra titles.
You wanna try one?
Wanna get smarter?
- No, no, no, I don't wanna.
- Stay where you're at?
- Yeah.
- It doesn't make you smarter.
Helps your memory a little bit.
It's good for a verbal memory.
Sometimes the Mary Jane fucks with the mind.
- Ooh, that's delicious.
- It's good, right?
It's nice, a little liquid.
Little shot.
I like it.
- It's like a snow cone.
- With the voice thing,
wouldn't there be multiple videos
of multiple people with that?
- It could be his own reaction to it.
He got a very high dose.
It could be there's more people.
They're not talking about it.
- It says there's more people.
- More people?
- That's what this article says.
They're going to go check door to door.
- Oh, they're sending the CDC in.
That sounds good.
- Bro, this is very scary stuff.
- Yeah.
- Very scary stuff.
- Youngstown's 20 minutes from there.
And they just call it East Palestine.
They don't say it's 45 minutes away from Pittsburgh
or 45 minutes away from Cleveland.
They just call it East Palestine.
- So it's getting into Youngstown too.
- Oh yeah.
- It's getting into everywhere, right?
- Everywhere.
Pittsburgh's really close.
Columbus is not far away.
- Dude, that's so scary.
Did you see the dead deer that they've been finding?
This dude took video.
He was down by the river or this creek or whatever it is.
And it's just fucking completely polluted.
You throw rocks in it.
You see big oil slicks bowl up.
And he found three dead deer, like really close to each other.
- That's where it is on the map.
- There's East Palestine.
- Youngstown's up there.
- Wow, Youngstown's right there, dude.
Oh my God, Pittsburgh's right there.
- Are those videos of it raining in Ohio
where it was like foam?
Is that fake?
- I don't know.
- Did you see that?
- I saw the snow and all the stuff in the ground.
It's like foaming rain.
- Bro.
Bro, what's in those clouds now?
- Yeah.
- And that's a cloudy place.
They literally have the lake effect there.
So the precipitation,
that's where it's always cloudy, always.
- Oh my God.
So it's sitting above you.
- Yep.
- Is it?
Does it dissipate?
What happens to the poison that gets into the air?
- It goes to Pittsburgh.
- Yeah, where does it go?
Like if it really hovers over you,
like holy shit and comes down when it rains,
what the fuck?
- The video that I don't know it's real
is showed a man outside and when it was raining,
it just seemed like it was suds.
And so that's not normal.
I don't know if it's a real video, it's TikTok.
- Wouldn't you think that
whatever the smoke is,
like whatever the particles are,
they would be too heavy to just sit in the clouds?
Wouldn't you think that they would fall to the ground?
- I don't know.
- We're too stupid to talk about this.
- What would you, Jamie, you're smarter than us.
What do you think would happen?
Like if chemicals were burned
and they went into the clouds,
would they stay in the clouds?
- I think back to the movies of like,
the Dirty Waters just came out,
where they're looking into like, you know,
chemical companies and people getting fucked up,
and there's giant lawsuits that go on forever.
Aaron Brockovich thing, I think was a similar situation.
People get fucked up from some chemical company.
- Mm-hmm.
- Right.
- Repeat, why would this one be different, honestly?
- No, I think it is, I think,
but what I'm asking is, do you think that, um,
when they burn the chemicals that they stay in the clouds?
- We will not. - Does that make any sense?
- I don't think they're gonna tell us
and explain it to us, simple people, you know?
- Bro. - Some people might know.
- What a mad scramble.
And did you see that people were trying to blame Trump
because of deregulation,
but it turns out that whatever deregulation he passed
wouldn't have applied to this
and also wasn't instituted?
It never really went through?
- They tried to blame him for everything.
- Is that true?
Make sure that's true.
- How?
- Check, look up at ChatGPT.
- If anybody can, you can, Jamie.
- Check, pull ChatGPT.
- What is the question?
- Was the deregulation by Trump?
- Yes.
Was D-right, was Trump-era deregulation
responsible for the crash?
'Cause I think it was not.
- I don't know that, yeah,
I heard that it was about the penalties for the company,
not the, not even the train.
- Oh, really?
- That's what I had understood.
- Oh, really? - That what deregulation was about.
- Oh, really?
- The train was gonna happen anyway.
Remember, we looked up, it was like 1,700 a year.
- So the deregulation was just basically like
giving money to the corporations
or letting them pay less money?
- I, that's, I don't know.
I'm just so like, first thing it says,
Washington Post analysis so far,
Trump's rollback of regulations
can't be blamed for the train wreck.
- There you go.
And that's Washington Post.
So if that's Washington Post,
see NTSB chair contradicts Post
that wrongly claimed Trump to blame
for Ohio train wreck.
But that's like a thing that people do immediately.
Whenever there's something fucked up,
they immediately point at Trump.
He did it!
He did it!
But when the problem with that is like,
when you say he did it,
a lot of people hear,
oh, he did it.
And then how many people hear the follow up?
How many people here are like,
no, he didn't do it.
And this is actually what happened.
I bet it's probably like 60, 40.
Right? - Yeah.
I bet like 40% find out that it wasn't true.
- This is from an article.
It says, Buttigieg calls on Trump
to back reversing deregulation
in the wake of train derailment.
And it's, they're saying it comes from this letter.
- Well, maybe he's correct.
Let's read what he has to say.
Like maybe, both things could be true, right?
What could be true is that the deregulation is bad.
And what also could be true is that Trump wasn't responsible
for this, this particular crash.
Both things could be true.
This is one thing he can do to express it,
express support for reversing the deregulation
that happened on his watch.
I heard him say he had nothing to do with it,
even though it was in his administration.
So if he had nothing to do with it,
and they did it in his administration against his will,
maybe he can come out and say that he supports us
moving in a different direction.
That seems very reasonable.
Doesn't it?
- Okay, yeah.
- White House has blamed Republican lawmakers
in the Trump administration for lax railway
and environmental regulations in the aftermath
of the derailment.
White House has pointed to a 2021 letter
from the Republican senators to the Federal Railroad
Administration urging the agency to expand the use
of automated track inspection,
and pointed to a Republican study committee proposal
to cut to government funding to address chemical spills.
Hmm, that's a weird way, the proposal to cut to government funding?
I think it's just a typo there.
- Yeah.
- Additionally, Politico reported the Trump administration
rolled back several safety measures for railways,
including regular safety audits and an Obama-era rule
that required faster brakes on trains carrying flammable materials.
Oh, dude, how about the fastest brakes?
- Yeah.
- It's containing flammable materials?
- Yeah.
- How about the fastest fucking brakes you can make?
- Yeah.
Well, that's a true thing, though, that this particular rail
that that thing happened on was not set up for transferring hazardous waste,
right?
or hazardous materials, isn't that true?
- I think they're saying that that train was not set up for having that kind of
stuff on it.
It's like, bro, it can just fall off the tracks going like 300 miles an hour
and explode.
Like, what do you got in there and you're going to ruin everything forever all
around it?
Like, how long before they cleaned that up?
- Oh, and now they're, what are they going to do with it?
Yeah, so I'm reading right now, what are they doing with it?
They're putting in a landfill.
- In Indiana, right?
- Putnam County landfill.
- Great. Terrific.
- Put it in the air.
- Driving it across the state.
- If you own a landfill, bro, you can put anything in there.
Computers, bodies, all kinds of shit.
Old cocaine, like dressers.
- Four hours ago's story.
- Ohio toxic train disaster leads to more concerns in other states,
while scientists say chemical tests in East Palestine are unusually high.
- I mean... - Yeah, you think?
- Look at that.
- Unusually high.
Really?
What a crazy statement.
Unusually high.
How about toxic for humans?
I mean, what happens to those people that can't move?
Those people that are stuck there, like they can't afford to move,
they've got nowhere to go.
- That's everybody there, by the way.
- Yeah, at least it's going to be really cheap to move them somewhere else.
Like $500,000, $50,000 houses everywhere, you know?
- Bro.
I mean, you got to get those people out of there.
- Yeah.
Like, how dangerous is it, you think, to be there right now?
Is it just groundwater, or is it air?
Is it everything?
Fuck, man.
You know how scary that would be if you were poor and you were stuck in that
spot?
- Was that plane crash real that happened?
- Oh, yeah.
Yeah, you know that story?
- What happened?
- Dude, a plane that was headed with, isn't that true?
- It seems.
- Yeah.
- I'm trying to double check.
- I want to triple check, but I'm pretty sure there were environmental, yeah.
Five environmental scientists who died in a plane crash were headed to East
Palestine, Ohio.
It says, "False, five employees of an environmental consulting firm died in a
plane crash near Little Rock, Arkansas, on Wednesday.
But they were not traveling to East Palestine, where a freight train derailed.
The employees were responding to an unrelated February 20th explosion at a
metals plant in a Cleveland suburb more than 60 miles away."
- Okay.
- Okay, so it wasn't true.
- Not the same.
- Yeah, so the facts in the days since the February 22nd plane crash,
some social media users have falsely claimed the aircraft was transporting
environmental scientists to East Palestine,
where a freight train derailment earlier in the month prompted officials to
intentionally release and burn toxic vinyl chloride to avoid the danger of an
uncontrolled blast."
Okay, so it wasn't true.
So there was a plane crash filled with scientists, but they were going to a
different spill.
- That seems a little fishy.
Why are five environmental scientists going to some other thing nobody's heard
of when there's this massive tragedy 60 minutes away?
- Man, that's probably the closest major.
Well, I guess Pittsburgh is a more major airport that's closer, but that's the
second closest.
- Well, we would have to, well, first of all, we didn't know these scientists
were going there, right?
So we would have to assume they've already sent scientists to East Palestine.
- Yeah.
- They don't have to tell you that they're doing that, right?
It's not like they make a press release, like, hey, we're sending scientists to
find out.
Because then people would want to know, like, what's the results?
Like, if the results are unprintable, like, if the results are like, oh, my God,
like, everyone's going to die.
Like, who knows what the results are?
- And we know that if it is unprintable, they're not going to tell us anyway.
- So if they sent...
- We passed everything.
- If they sent five people to this other crash, how many did they send?
- 5,000.
- Yeah.
- How many did they send to East Palestine?
They want to, like, check for sure.
They want to, like, double and triple check on this one, because this is a doozy.
People are calling it, like, an American Chernobyl.
It's like, this is scary shit.
- Yeah.
- It's wild that those things happen all the time.
We Googled it the other day.
There's, like, a thousand derailments a year.
They happen all the time.
Bro.
- Fuck.
- Brigham sent me a meme that was, like, if you want to run a train properly,
here's who you should hire.
And it's that cop lady that got...
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, I've seen those.
She's in, like, ten memes.
Poor gal.
Thank you.
