The Toxic Train Disaster - a podcast by The American Conservative

Emile, Micah, Sohrab, and John discuss the train derailment in East Palestine, OH, that has prompted questions about the government's response to residents' potential exposure to toxic material--and whether a lax regulatory environment contributed to the crash. Plus, the US military shot down 3 more unidentified objects over US and Canadian airspace since the Chinese spy balloon, and Nikki Haley launches her bid for the presidency.
