A Crisis of Health and Trust In East Palestine, Ohio
On February 3rd, a Norfolk Southern Railway train carrying toxic chemicals derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, and officials elected to burn the chemicals days later to prevent potential explosions. Residents within the burn area were soon told it was safe to return; however, weeks later, citizens are concerned and demanding more answers from their local and federal government. Russell Murphy lives in East Palestine and owns a small farm there. He joins the Rundown to explain the fear and mistrust that are rampant in his community following this incident and why the residents are demanding accountability. Hazmat specialist Sil Caggiano joins later to break down the dangers the burned chemicals pose to the environment and those who live in East Palestine.
The former Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, made news this week with the launch of her presidential campaign. Haley formerly served as the United Nations Ambassador during the first two years of the Trump administration, making her competition with the former President in the 2024 race even more notable. Haley’s announcement has created speculation about who else may populate the GOP field. FOX News Sunday host Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss what challenges Nikki Haley may face later in her campaign, other candidates that could enter the race, and other races to watch out for in 2024.
