SPEAKER KEVIN McCARTHY ABOUT THE
DEBT CEILING TOMORROW.
>> Ashley: TOP BIDEN OFFICIALS
MET WITH LEADERS IN SAUDI ARABIA
YESTERDAY TO DISCUSS A NEW
RAILWAY PROJECT IN THE MIDDLE
EAST AND INDIA.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS THE WORK
WILL ADVANCE SHARED VISION OF
MIDDLE EAST INTERCONNECTED WITH
INDIA AND THE WORLD.
TRAIN WORKERS AT HOME WANT TO
KNOW WHY PRESIDENT BIDEN IS NOT
BRINGING THAT PROSPERITY TO OUR
FALTERRING RAILWAYS ESPECIALLY
AFTER THEY SAY BIDEN TURNED
THEIR BACKS ON THEM DURING THE
RAIL STRIKE.
ALEC LACE HAS BEEN A RAILROAD
MECHANIC FOR 23 YEARS AND JOINS
ME NOW LIVE IN THE STUDIO.
THE WHITE HOUSE WILL TEAM UP
WITH THE SAUDIS AND LEAVE YOU
OUT TO DRY, WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST
ISSUE?
>> JOE BIDEN HAS MADE ENEMIES
WITH THE RAILWAY WORKERS, HE
CAMPAIGNED TELLING US HE IS
RAILWAY JOE, CHOO-CHOO CHARLIE,
THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
TURNS DOWN THE PACKAGE THAT
WOULD HAVE GIVEN RAILWAY WORKERS
SEVEN DAYS OF SICK PAY, THIS IS
PER YEAR.
HE STABS US IN THE BACK.
THERE WERE TWO PACKAGES, SIX
REPUBLICAN SENATORS VOTED FOR A
PACKAGE TO GIVE US SEVEN SICK
DAYS.
I INTERVIEWED SENATOR CRUZ,
HAWLEY AND MARCO RUBIO.
THE RAILROAD SYSTEM IN AMERICA
IS LIKE A TECHNOLOGY MUSEUM.
GET IN A TIME MACHINE AND SEE
WHAT TECHNOLOGY IS LIKE, GO TO
ANY RAILROAD IN THE UNITED
STATES AND SINCE THIS IS THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THE RAIL
RAILROAD, EVERY TIME WE GET A
NEW PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY OR
EQUIPMENT, IT GOES THROUGH ALL
THE RED TAPE AND REGULATION AND
GETS TO US ON THE RAIL, IT IS
FIVE YEARS OUT OF DATE ALREADY.
STICK RAILROAD TIES IN THE
DESERT IN THE MIDDLE EAST.
TAKE CARE OF AMERICA FIRST
BEFORE WE BUILD HIGH SPEED
THERE, WE DON’T HAVE IT IN THE
UNITED STATES YET.
>> Ashley: THIS IS A SLAP IN THE
INDUSTRY’S FACE.
>> OF COURSE IT IS, BY THE BOOK,
RAILROADERS USUALLY VOTE BLUE,
THEY WILL DO THE BEST FOR YOU,
THAT AIN’T HAPPENING NO MORE.
SHAME ON HIM, HE’S MADE ENEMIES,
TRYING TO PUT A BANDAID ON IT,
RECENTLY, WE ARE GOING TO GET
FOUR DAYS.
THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE SHOW
REALIZE THEY MADE A MISTAKE AND
TICKED OFF RAILROADERS AND
TRYING TO HOLD IT TOGETHER, BUT
IT AIN’T GOING TO FLY.
>> Ashley: YOU SAID THE MAJORITY
OF PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY VOTED
FOR TRUMP IN 2020, WHAT DO YOU
THINK THAT WILL LOOK LIKE IN
2024?
DO YOU FORESEE ANYONE AFTER
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED IN
DECEMBER AND HIM TURNING ON YOUR
INDUSTRY, DO YOU THINK ANYBODY
IN THE INDUSTRY WILL VOTE FOR
HIM?
>> YOU WILL HAVE PEOPLE THAT
WILL VOTE FOR HIM, BUT I TELL
YOU THIS, I’VE BEEN THROUGH SIX
PRESIDENTIAL CYCLELESS AND I
NEVER SAW SO MANY VOTE
REPUBLICAN LIKE I DID IN 2016.
2020, BIDEN WITH THE PROMISE,
THOUGHT DON’T GO THIS ROUTE, NOW
THEY WILL NOT VOTE OR VOTE
REPUBLICAN IN THE LAST ELECTION
BECAUSE OF THIS.
>> Ashley: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
SEE DONE?
WHAT IS BIGGEST THING THAT NEEDS
TO KNOW DONE FOR AMERICA’S
RAILROADS?
>> FOCUS ON AMERICA FIRST.
WHEN YOU CAN SAY WE CAN COMPETE
WITH JAPAN AND CHINA, THEN MAYBE
TALK ABOUT BUILDING RAILROADS
OVERSEAS, GET IT DONE HERE AND
TAKE CARE OF THE AMERICAN
WORKER, WE WORKED THROUGH COVID
AND ALL WE GOT WAS A PAT ON THE
BACK.
NONE OF THE COVID MONEY WENT TO
THE WORKERS.
TAKE CARE OF AMERICA FIRST.
>> Ashley: TECHNOLOGY AND
EQUIPMENT, FROM WHAT YOU SAID,
NOWHERE NEAR UP TO DATES, SO
MANY THINGS COULD BE CHANGED AND
HE RAN ON THE PLATFORM HE WAS
EVERYONE’S PRESIDENT IN AMERICA.
WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS IN 2024.
