What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.

Sean Hannity Show.
Toll-free, it is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
These toxic chemicals, this thing is getting worse and worse and worse.
This train derailment in Ohio, at the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania, in the small Ohio town carrying more toxic chemicals than initially reported.
It is emerging to be worse and worse every day.
East Palestine is what they call the town.
Anyway, the derailment forced the evacuation of hundreds of residents before authorities conducted a controlled burn of the chemicals of the Norfolk Southern Railroad train cars, chemicals to stop the potential explosion.
I mean, there's been nothing but sickening side effects.
We're not getting a full rundown in terms of the total impact on the economy, although there was an article out today saying, you know, there's as many as 3,500 dead fish and many other animals falling sick.
And we don't know the impact that people may have had in terms of human suffering and human impact health-wise as it relates to all of this.
And yet we have a transportation secretary didn't even bother to go down and take a look and get his hands dirty and find out and get answers for the people that have been exposed to these burning chemicals all over the place.
But again, this is the same Pete Buddha judge who thinks he's qualified to be transportation secretary.
I don't know, because he couldn't, he was known as Pothole Pete in South Bend, Indiana for not fixing potholes.
Listen to his great qualifications to be transportation secretary.
I've also had a personal love of transportation ever since childhood.
More than once as a college student, I would convince a friend to travel nearly a thousand miles back to Indiana with me on Amtrak.
Though I know that in this administration, I will at best aspire to be the second biggest train enthusiast around.
I spent a spring break in graduate school aboard a cargo ship studying there.
That's the extent of your experience?
Wow, pretty pathetic.
Anyway, rather than being on the ground with people in Ohio to get to the bottom line and how widespread is the potential environmental disaster here, he's nowhere to be found.
What about the chemicals that are in the air killing fish and animals, falling sick and dying near this hellish Ohio train derailment site?
Buddha Judge made no mention of the Ohio train derailment while speaking at this conference yesterday morning.
But again, he did have time to find out and say that too many white people work in construction as if, you know, what does that have to do with his job anyway?
Putting all of that aside.
Anyway, joining us now is Diana Furchcott-Roth is with us, and she is the Heritage Director for the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Research and Technology at the Department of Transportation, currently writing a story on how pipelines are safer than rail transport for liquids.
And this derailment is yet another example why, but this is not the only derailment in recent weeks.
We had two more yesterday.
Anyway, Diana, thank you for being with us.
It's great to be with you, Sean.
Thanks so much for having me on your show.
Give me your initial analysis based on published reports about how bad this is.
Well, the chemicals are probably going to vanish into the air.
But what's most important to note is that there are multiple federal agencies trying to slow down the approval of pipelines.
And pipelines are the safest way to carry oil and natural gas to where they need to go.
The chemicals on this train could not have been transported by pipeline, but there's many, many, many millions of gallons of oil and natural gas that do need to be transported by pipeline, Sean.
And they should be transported by pipeline because if they're not in pipelines, they're on trains and trucks.
And with a pipeline, the container stays still and the product moves through the container.
But with truck and train, the container moves and then the liquid stays within the truck and train.
And it's far safer to have the container, the pipeline, stay stable and not move and have the natural gas and oil move through it so that there are no accidents in towns.
So I don't disagree at all.
If we would have allowed the Keystone XL pipeline to be finished, we would be daily importing 900,000 barrels of Canadian crude oil into America every single day, and it would be done safely.
It was interesting that at the time that Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, he was giving a waiver for Vladimir Putin to move forward with his own Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Did that make any sense to you?
It made absolutely no sense.
And it makes no sense now that the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve, the Interior Department, the Office of Control of the Currency, they are all trying to slow down the approval of pipelines.
Well, okay, so without the pipelines, we don't have the ability to safely transport these things.
And that means you're saying if we do it by rail or any other mode of transportation, that it's unsafe, correct?
Well, road and rail are still safe, but they are less safe than pipelines.
For example, there was an accident about 10 years ago in Lac Megantique in Canada, where 73 rail cars carrying crude oil slid back into the town.
There was a fire which claimed 47 lives.
Much safer having that oil underground.
And the price differential between Europe and Asia in terms of natural gas prices is so large.
It's about $20 per million British thermal units in Europe and Asia.
It's about $2.50 here in the United States.
We need to be exporting our natural gas to Europe and Asia to fill the hole that Russia left and also to increase our geopolitical influence in these areas, sure.
How long would it take to get a pipeline so we could ship our natural gas across the pond?
There are about 15 pipelines waiting for approval, and these pipelines could be completed within a year if they were approved.
We already do ship across the pond, but we could be shipping even more.
And plus what we need to do is get our oil and natural gas from the middle of the country where it is produced out to the coasts where it can be taken by tanker or on the sea pipeline to where it needs to go.
Let me go back to the danger of doing all of this by rail.
Let me use the Ohio case as an example because the Ohio Department of Natural Resources said that this chemical spill and this burn that they got involved with of these chemicals, the result is it killed an estimated 3,500 small fish across seven and a half miles of streams as of Wednesday of last week.
And now one resident in North Lima, Ohio, more than 10 miles away from the incident, told one of the local TV stations that her five hens and rooster died suddenly last Tuesday.
There's reports that foxes have taken ill and some are dying there and other animals are dying.
You said this would eventually dissipate, but what is the long-term negative impact on the environment in terms of air and water?
And when will people safely be able to, if ever, get back to their homes?
What we need to do is prevent these accidents with oil and natural gas happening.
I'm not a scientist, so I don't know the long-term effect, but I do know we can have vast economic benefits if the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approves more pipelines so that toxic substances do not have to be carried by road and rail.
Now that I agree with.
All right.
Diana Firch Gottroth, thank you so much for being with us.
We appreciate it.
800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program, let's get to our phones.
Let's say hi to Robert is in Ohio, close to the area where this train derailment took place.
What's up, Robert?
How are you?
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
I'm a relatively new listener.
I really appreciate your voice and all that you do.
I wanted to make a mention, though, I guess, in regards to the train incident, what they were trying right after the incident with that vinyl chloride was burning.
And so when they did that controlled explosion, the reason that they did that was because those train cars were heating up so much they were afraid that the train car was going to explode and it would have been like shooting a bomb.
A shrapnel would have just been spread all over the area.
So it's difficult to say, you know, if they made that right decision, you know, versus having all the toxic chemicals being spewed into the environment, but I kind of think that may have been a right call.
I will say at least Governor DeWine showed up, you know, for everything.
And Representative Bill Johnson is scheduled to pay a visit.
East Palestine is going to be holding a town hall meeting tomorrow at 7 o'clock for the community and those people who have been affected.
But it's certainly devastating.
And with the streams and creeks affected and the animals, you know, there's farmland out there.
And I was raised on a farm, and we had a creek that runs through my father's farm, and we had sheep, and those animals, that's their water source.
And it's going to be devastating for those people with livestock.
Well, that's my biggest concern.
What are the long-term impacts for everybody here?
You're right about livestock.
You're right about farming.
You're right on every count.
3,500 fish is a lot of fish to die.
That means you had severe toxicity to the water.
Over time, does it begin to dissipate?
Yes.
Does it totally get removed?
I don't know.
I'm not a chemist.
I have no idea.
But I don't even think they have the answers even at this late date.
What's frustrating to me is there's been no sense of urgency from our transportation secretary or anybody else in terms of what it is that they should be doing.
I mean, why is Pete Buddha Judge joking about balloons and white construction workers yesterday?
And now EPA has come out.
They have found four additional chemicals.
I saw that.
Yeah.
And all of this, you know, it's not just the vinyl chloride.
There's these other chemicals that they have found now.
And it's devastating.
And how far is the reach going to ultimately be?
In other words, these streams, do they move into other towns and other parts of Ohio, maybe other parts of Pennsylvania as well?
What about the airflow?
What does it do to the people that are breathing in this air?
Pretty dangerous.
Anyway, we'll follow that meeting tomorrow and see where it goes.
We appreciate you calling in and letting us know, Robert.
Thank you.
Oh, thank you, Ason.
Just on another note, in regards to this goes out to Linda, how you kind of tease her about her accent.
Can you say hammer for me?
You want me to say hammer?
I like the way you say hammer.
You have that little accent, Sean.
I like it.
I got a little one in it.
That's not like talk and coffee and Sean.
And first of all, a little bit different.
How do you say it again?
How do you say that word, Sean?
What, hammer?
Hammer.
Hammer.
You know what it is?
He actually does have an accent.
I think for a very long time now, he has been working to get rid of it.
And it's pretty funny because every once in a while, especially like if he's angry, it just he can't help it.
It all comes out.
That Long Island just when I'm tired is when it comes out.
That's true, too, when you're tired, which I don't know.
That's like all the time.
So maybe that's, I don't know.
I never stopped working.
So I've always got a little bit of tired in there like everyone else.
However, Sean is not.
However, first of all, you know, you got to admit, Linda has a pretty thick accent.
Anyway, my friend, God bless you.
Quick break right back to our phones, 800-941-Sean, our number as we continue.

So busy phones, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
We have one minute.
We'll give it to Bill in Montana.
What's up, Bill?
It's all yours.
Hey, Sean, I'm up here in Big Fork, and just wanted to answer your question from yesterday.
You mentioned the fact that you were kind of curious about the loss of sensors that some of our aircraft had up there trying to get these balloons.
Well, I'm just an old Air Force vet and I did three tours in Southeast Asia during the war.
And Mike Gearfield was electronic countermeasures.
And that's exactly what it is.
And it's scary, the fact that people are flying these balloons over our territory.
I worked in electronic countermeasures, ECM, for my entire career.
And we had some really sophisticated stuff 50 years ago.
And things have changed a lot since then.
But I'll tell you what, if those people are using electronic countermeasures to jam our aircraft, I'm really seriously concerned about what's going to happen.
Well, I'll give you three quick scenarios.
Jamming our aircraft, an EMP, an electromagnetic pulse incident could be a potential.
A bioweapon attack could be a potential.
The fact that these balloons are going undetected at 60, 65,000 feet up in the air should scare everybody.
It showed and exposed the vulnerability that I never thought we ever would have as a country, ever.
And the fact that it took somebody in Montana, a fellow Montanan to find this and tell the world about it and the country about it is even more frightening.
And having no knowledge about what the other three objects that we shot out of the sky are, what were they?
We don't even know.
Where did they come from?
We don't know.
They're not telling us a thing.
And Biden says everything's fine.
It's not a big deal.
It's not a massive breach, he said.
Anyway, Bill, appreciate it, buddy.
800-941-Sean.
All right, Valentine's Day today.
And look, we want to share a little trivia with you.
Did you know that before a baby is born, that their heart will beat approximately 54 million times?
Well, that's just, you know, pure science.
Anyway, happy Valentine's Day.
Our friends at Pre-Born, they have made it their mission to use the science of modern ultrasound, which is so sophisticated.
You know, say compared to when I have my kids, they now have 4D imaging and you can see fingers and toes and facial features and absolutely hear the heartbeat.
Anyway, the science of ultrasounds are giving unexpected mothers, maybe people that are on the fence, whether they should follow through and give birth to this child or have an abortion.
They're giving them a chance to actually learn what it is that is growing within them, the majesty of what's growing within them.
The majority of time, after they hear that heartbeat and they see those images, they choose life.
Now, it costs 28 bucks for every one of these ultrasounds.
$140, you can sponsor five ultrasounds.
Pre-born doesn't get a penny from the federal government.
It is totally, completely funded by people that believe in the sanctity of life.
You have to, you can donate by dialing pound250, say the keyword baby, pound250, keyword baby, or just go to the very secure website of preborn.com/slash sean.
That's pre-born.com/slash Sean and do your part.
And who knows, you may be saving a life today.
You're going to love this.
Clarine Jean-Pierre says the U.S. military shot an object over Canada.
And here's her explanation.
Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?
Because it's part of NORAD.
The NORAD is part of like a part of, it's what you call a coalition, a corporation.
Exactly.
And so that's why we were able to do that.
Again, we didn't do it on our own.
We did it clearly in step with Canadia.
We did it in step with Canadia.
Welcome to Canadia, our neighbors to the north, Mark in Texas.
Mark, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
What's up, man?
How are you?
Howdy, Sean.
How are you doing, brother?
I'm good, man.
What's going on?
Just wanted to tell you that what a great Super Bowl.
Very patriotic.
We had some great Christian aspects and were just so proud to be an American.
And I literally replayed the old Johnny Cash song for my family.
That was a 1974, I think, rendition of the flag.
And it just, I had tears in my eyes, man.
It was just so.
I thought that was awesome.
I mean, I saw more patriotism this year.
Didn't it feel like than in past years?
It was indeed.
I don't know what would have promoted it.
Maybe we're behind some of the Kaepernick stuff and we'll move forward.
Love, forget, and move on.
But a great, great Super Bowl with the patriotism.
And we so appreciated Johnny Cash.
Well, I'll give you two other things that stood out to me is people, including the Eagles coach, crying during the national anthem.
I don't know if you caught Mahomes was in the end zone, took a knee and was clearly praying.
That happened.
I know a lot of people focused on why do we have, if we're one nation under God, indivisible, we have one national anthem.
I know there were people wondering why they played this other national anthem.
I think that was, you know, to me, I don't think, I think we should just unite behind one anthem.
We're one country.
We're one people.
Support and crushed the national anthem.
Oh, man.
He was, he rocked that national anthem.
That was awesome.
Yes, it just gives me chill bumps thinking about it.
Good job.
Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
I had a good time.
You know, I did something very unusual.
I watched the entire game alone.
I didn't even tell you that, Linda, did I?
No.
You didn't.
Why did you do that?
Well, he was been working and he doesn't live in the same state as you know.
I know, but I just figured maybe you guys would watch the game together.
You know, I mean, I know.
Oh, we've been to many Super Bowls.
Oh, he was at a sports bar with his friends and girlfriend and all that sort of thing.
Oh, all right.
Okay.
So why'd you watch it alone, though?
You didn't have a single friend?
I could name a couple of good friends of yours that love Super Bowl as much as you do.
Well, Uncle James, sweet baby James, lives with me, my sister.
So, I mean, they watched it briefly with me, but they could care less about the Super Bowl.
I think next year, next year, you have Linda over and we can tape it so that you could teach her about football.
I could give you a play-by-play.
You're crossing the plane.
No, you know what I don't want to do during a football game is talk.
Talk.
And Linda can provide all the snacks.
I'll do all the snacks and I'll do the common sari.
Okay, you mean the air-dried chicken wings and the air-fried foods?
That's right.
And you're welcome.
It's a wonderful thing.
And you're welcome.
No, listen, I stuck to my diet.
I didn't really go crazy during the Super Bowl.
I heard you had a bacon wrap.
How exciting.
I did.
A bacon lettuce wrap.
I made it myself.
That's not terrible.
No, it was actually very good.
I just don't know why the Super Bowl was the day you decided to adhere to your diet.
That's like people who tried to get skinny right before Christmas.
I'm like, what?
I adhere to my diet every possible day I can, unless it's a cheat day, and then I go crazy.
Okay.
I would have thought Super Bowl would have been a cheat day, but anyhow.
You know what?
I like being alone.
I know that may sound strange to a lot of people.
I don't need a crowd around me all the time.
Well, you typically do have a crowd around you, so I guess I could see how that could be rewarding to be alone.
Actually, my sister Teddy has a pretty interesting phrase.
If you're lonely when you're alone, you're bad company.
I mean, listen, if you're not shaking hands with the air like Joe Biden, you're already a step up in everybody else's books.
I think you're fine.
Yeah, exactly.
Bill in Florida.
Bill, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for having me on.
Two quick points.
Yes, sir.
I wanted to compliment Fox also for putting on, I think, the best Super Bowl ever.
They should take over presenting the Super Bowl every year.
I felt like they really worked hard to bring America together.
Everything was positive, upbeat.
And as your last caller said, it was one of the most patriotic atmospheres I've ever seen.
And the important thing was there was no wokeness.
I was just amazed.
We're almost accustomed to hearing these cheap shots against groups, and there was none of that.
The only negative aspect I heard the whole day was AOC's mocking the Super Bowl ad of hope and love found in Jesus.
As a Christian, I'm deeply offended that she would compare hope and love.
By the way, do you really care what AOC thinks about anything?
Because I don't.
Well, yes, I do for this reason.
Okay.
There's emphasized to American Democrats that are really decent people.
I mean, there's millions and millions of decent Democrats that if they hung back and they listen to that, they'd say, why am I supporting party leaders that compare Jesus to fascism?
We need to drive this home.
The American Democratic Party of 30 years ago is gone.
And there's a lot of die-hard Democrats that vote only because it was talked about in their kitchen table over the last 50 years.
They need to understand she's the new voice of the Democratic Party.
You didn't see any Democrat leader come out and argue against what she said.
Not a one.
This is not the party of Scoop Jackson, even Joe Lieberman.
It has become a radicalized, you know, new Green Deal, radical socialist, cultist, agenda-driven party.
And they want to radically alter, you know, America into something that would be unrecognizable to the rest of us.
Anyway, Bill, good call, my friend.
Glad you're out there.
Don, California.
Don, how are you?
Glad you called.
Yeah, hi, Sean.
This whole balloon business, I look at it as these are the American people's skies.
They're not Biden skies.
They're not the military skies.
And for the American people not to be informed that an airship the size of the Goodyear blimp was over our heads, we don't know it till a citizen with his naked eye looks up and says, What the heck is that?
It's inexcusable.
And it wasn't through a blind spot, Sean.
How come all of a sudden they're spotting them?
Every time they turn around, they've gotten like eight of them now.
All of a sudden, they can see them once the light was shown on this.
And a previous caller of yours, Sean, brought it up.
This thing was 10 to 20 times the size of an actual weather balloon.
It wasn't a weather balloon.
Who knows what this thing was up to?
For all we know, it might be peeing the newest version of the China virus on our heads.
Hey, listen, it could have been a bioweapons attack.
It could have been an EMT attack.
You know, it could have been a lot of things.
And, you know, we still have not gotten any information at all whatsoever in terms of what the other three have to do with any of this.
I mean, I'd like to know what, you know, what were the other three items shot down.
They're not even saying it's a balloon.
They're not saying anything about it.
Now, for days, they let it hang out there that it might be a UFO.
I mean, serious?
Listen, do I doubt that there's a possibility there could be UFOs?
No.
But, you know, if you don't know what it is, why don't you know what it is?
They should have known what it is.
Well, Sean, this should have been a shoot, first, ask questions later deal in the first place.
But I mean, how is it that we're not identifying what it is that we're even shooting down, or they've identified it, and they're not telling us?
That's even worse.
I don't know.
Where's our technology?
Where's our vaunted military intelligence?
How come it disappears from the battlefield all of a sudden like it does?
This is just ridiculous, Sean.
I just don't understand why.
And then they lie to us.
This is a weather balloon.
It's not a weather balloon.
It's a giant airship that steers itself.
This is not a weather balloon, Sean.
No, this was a spying apparatus, and we do need answers.
We shot down four unidentified flying objects over U.S. airspace in eight days.
What were the other three?
Why are we allowing this to happen?
Why did they wait all those days before they even told us or confirmed to us that indeed it was flying over American airspace?
Why didn't they take it down when they first saw the first one over Alaska, which is what they should have done?
Well, they claimed that they didn't want to hurt people on the ground, but then we discovered the other three, they had no problem shooting over airspace where people were down below.
So, you know what?
None of what they say is consistent or believable.
Can I say something real fast, Sean?
Yes, sir.
One thing I really like a New Yorker to say is 33rd and 3rd Street.
33rd and 3rd Street.
Why?
Well, you don't have the, I guess at the Brooklyn accent, they say the Teddy Toyd and Toyd Street.
Linda, give it a shot.
I don't know, man.
It sounds like some Bugs Bunny stuff right there.
I don't even think I say that.
Go ahead.
Give it a shot.
Let's hear it.
33rd and 3rd.
It's not.
33rd and 3rd.
I get what he's saying.
All right, man.
Yeah, because you're trying your best to minimize it.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Chris, Georgia, next Sean Hannity Show.
What's up, Chris?
Hello, Sean.
Mega Dittos from El Paso.
Well, thank you.
That's a great honor.
We miss our dear friend Rush.
What's going on, sir?
Well, sir, I just want to know, hey, why don't you ever talk nice about your workers that work there with you?
I never hear you say anything nice about any of them ever.
Why are you sucking up to my staff is the bigger question.
What do you want me to do?
You want me to say, oh, sweet baby James, you're the best.
Linda, you're the best.
Katie, you're the deadline.
Actually, I can defend you.
You're the best.
JC On, you're the best.
Sean.
I can defend you, actually.
You've been saying some nice things about James and his improvement and his shooting and how good he is.
You've been talking him up.
Well, I point out your improvement from.
No, no, I would say you bash me on the regular on that and you take great joy in it.
So I wouldn't use me as a reference here.
It doesn't help your argument.
However, you have been supporting James.
Chris, why do you think we're just having a little bit of fun on the program?
I think it's hilarious, personally.
I love it.
But you never go out of your way and do stuff for them.
Like, all right, a couple months ago, Katie got this answer right about how many rats are in Chicago or what city has the most rats?
And she said Chicago.
Why don't you guys go back and put her dance on your website and give her the credit that is due to Katie?
Her dance?
What dance?
Her dance.
Yeah, exactly.
What dance?
Katie, you dancing?
What's going on, Katie?
I have no idea what's going on right now.
Katie's got another side shop doing a little dancing.
A couple of months ago, Sean, you had said, all right, what city has the most rats of all the cities in America?
And after about a minute, Katie got it right.
She said Chicago.
Well, next thing you know, Katie's doing a dance back there, and you guys never posted it online.
You're right.
You know what?
Katie is not only a connoisseur in rat knowledge, but she is an active dancer in the studio, and we should talk about that more.
Absolutely.
We can barely get Katie to crack a mic and say hello.
She's so shy, doesn't want to be on the radio.
Never mind being on video.
All right, Katie, if you want to produce a video and do your dance, we'll post it on Andy.
It will never happen in a million years.
It will never happen.
But wait a minute, but I do say nice things about my staff.
As a matter of fact, yesterday I did.
My Cracker Jack staff came up with this research.
I was complimenting them.
You know, the other way I'd like to just say thank you.
I think words are words and deeds are deeds.
And, you know, I make sure everyone gets their paycheck every week and a nice bonus every year.
It's my way of saying thank you.
I appreciate the good job you're doing.
I mean, I'm supposed to sit here and suck up to them all day long.
You know how else you're nice to me when you go to break.
It's my favorite thing in the world.
All right.
Quick break.
Right back.
We'll continue.
So tonight on Hannity, Sarah Carter is going to be reporting from East Palestine.
You know, the extent of this, this derailing on the environment, not really getting the answers that I think most people deserve.
Sarah Carter's on the ground.
This is one of the reports.
We now know three more chemicals that were on board the Norfolk Southern train that derailed here in East Palestine just over a week ago.
And we're being told that some of those chemicals are dangerous.
We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open.
All right, so we'll have Sarah Carter tonight on that on Hannity.
First, want to remind you: tough economic times means you got to do everything you can do in your power to save money.
One way everybody can save a lot of money without sacrificing service.
One iota is switching to my cell phone company, and that's Pure Talk.
It is the no-contract wireless company.
You don't have to sign a contract.
And the great thing about Pure Talk is you get the same exact cell towers, same 5G network as ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile every month, except you're paying about half the price.
The great thing also about Pure Talk is the average family saving close to $1,000 a year for the exact same service.
You have the same number of coverage bars, many families saving much more.
You have their 100% satisfaction money-back guarantee.
So if you don't love Pure Talk, guess what?
You'll get your money back.
No questions asked, but you're going to love it because it's the exact same service at half the cost.
And the transfer only takes a couple of minutes of your time.
Just dial pound 250 on your cell phone, say the keyword save now, and do it now.
You save an additional 50% off your first month.
That's pound 250.
Keyword save now money in your pocket for the exact same service.
In these tough economic times, that's just smart.
Pure Talk is simply smarter wireless.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
As I said, we will be in East Palestine tonight.
We'll get an update on the ground after this train derailment.
Sarah Carter will join us.
Marjorie Taylor Green will be on with us.
We have an update on the investigation into all things Biden Family Syndicate with Congressman James Comer.
We have a report with the Daily Mail will tell you about with reporter Josh Boschwell.
Josh Hawley will join us and Joe Concha.

When I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
