The East Palestine rail disaster has brought into focus the severity of the dangers posed by the United States’ degrading infrastructure, especially when combined with the monopolistic, neoliberal policies that seek to extract the highest possible profits while pushing overextended workers to their limits and beyond. Railway Workers United General Secretary Ron Kaminkow explains that the time may be ripe for a radical new plan for the nation’s railways. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Kaminkow about just why the rail transit system in America has become such a shambles and devastating to its workforce. Plus a segment on Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s evisceration of the lies told by the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol “insurrection.” Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!
