00:01:16,713 --> 00:01:17,678
YOU MAY REMEMBER, HE WAS DRUMMED

BLURRING THEIR FACES, WHICH IS

64
00:02:07,097 --> 00:02:07,662
RIDICULOUS: THESE PEOPLE WERE A

65
00:02:07,731 --> 00:02:13,601
PART OF AN ARMED INSURRECTION.

66
00:02:13,670 --> 00:02:14,469
ALSO, THERE WAS MERCH.

67

IT WASN'T EXACTLY A SECRET.

68
00:02:16,706 --> 00:02:18,239

69
00:02:18,308 --> 00:02:18,840

70
00:02:18,909 --> 00:02:20,274
JAN 6th -- TAKE IT FROM STEVE

71
00:02:20,343 --> 00:02:21,609
BANNON.

72
00:02:21,678 --> 00:02:22,410

74

ERA.

75
00:02:24,915 --> 00:02:27,181
HE WAS ONE OF THE INTELLECTUAL

76
00:02:27,250 --> 00:02:28,916
ARCHITECTS OF PUSHING BACK ON

77
00:02:28,985 --> 00:02:31,619
THE STOLEN ELECTION.

78
00:02:31,688 --> 00:02:32,286
>> John: OKAY, SET ASIDE THE

79
00:02:32,355 --> 00:02:33,221
FACT HE CALLED IT "THE STOLEN

80
00:02:33,290 --> 00:02:34,422
ELECTION," AND THAT HE USED THE

81
00:02:34,491 --> 00:02:35,256
TERM "INTELLECTUAL ARCHITECT"

82
00:02:35,325 --> 00:02:36,991
FOR AN ARGUMENT THAT BASICALLY

83
00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:37,560
AMOUNTED TO "NUH-UH, I'M THE

84
00:02:37,627 --> 00:02:39,694
PRESIDENT."

85
00:02:39,763 --> 00:02:40,294
EVEN SET ASIDE HIS HAIR THERE,

86
00:02:40,363 --> 00:02:43,831
WHICH MAKES HIM LOOKS LIKE THE

87
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:44,899
OLDEST T-BIRD IN GREASE APPLYING

88
00:02:44,968 --> 00:02:46,701
TO BUSINESS SCHOOL.

89
00:02:46,770 --> 00:02:50,505
STEVE BANNON IS RIGHT.

90
00:02:50,574 --> 00:02:51,139
JOHNSON LED THE AMICUS BRIEF IN

91
00:02:51,208 --> 00:02:52,039
SUPPORT OF THE TEXAS LAWSUIT TO

92
00:02:52,108 --> 00:02:55,476
INVALIDATE THE ELECTION IN 2020.

93
00:02:55,545 --> 00:02:57,311
NOW, WAS THAT A GOOD THING?

94
00:02:57,380 --> 00:02:58,579
UNREASONABLE PEOPLE CAN

95
00:02:58,648 --> 00:03:00,081
DISAGREE, BUT HIS INVOLVEMENT IS

96
00:03:00,150 --> 00:03:00,715
NOT SOMETHING REPUBLICANS WANT

97
00:03:00,784 --> 00:03:01,449
YOU TO ASK ABOUT.

98
00:03:01,518 --> 00:03:03,317
JUST AFTER HE WAS NOMINATED AS

99
00:03:03,386 --> 00:03:03,951
SPEAKER, THERE WAS THIS

100
00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:05,419
MEMORABLE MOMENT.

101
00:03:05,488 --> 00:03:06,521
>> MR. JOHNSON, YOU HELPED LEAD

102
00:03:06,590 --> 00:03:07,321
THE EFFORTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020

103
00:03:07,390 --> 00:03:08,523
ELECTION RESULTS.

104
00:03:08,592 --> 00:03:08,892
DO YOU --

105
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:10,024
>> BOOO!

106
00:03:10,093 --> 00:03:13,761
>> SHUT UP!

107
00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:15,663
>> John: I HATE TO BE THAT GUY,

108
00:03:15,732 --> 00:03:16,032
BUT "BOOOOOOO!

109
00:03:16,099 --> 00:03:17,765
SHUT UP!"

110
00:03:17,834 --> 00:03:20,935
IS NOT "NO."

111
00:03:21,004 --> 00:03:21,869
AND, QUICK SHOUT-OUT TO VIRGINIA

112
00:03:21,938 --> 00:03:23,237
FOXX THERE, REPEATEDLY YELLING

113
00:03:23,306 --> 00:03:24,572
"SHUT UP" IN THE SAME TONE AS A

114
00:03:24,641 --> 00:03:27,542
DRUNK GRANDMA AT THANKSGIVING

115
00:03:27,611 --> 00:03:28,676
BEING TOLD SHE CAN'T SNEAK THE

116
00:03:28,745 --> 00:03:29,744
DOG ANY MORE TURKEY SKIN.

117
00:03:29,813 --> 00:03:30,611
"SHUT UP!

118
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,479
BOSCO LOVES IT!

119
00:03:31,548 --> 00:03:32,847
HE'S JUST HUNGRY!

120
00:03:32,916 --> 00:03:36,717
SHUT UP!"

121
00:03:36,786 --> 00:03:37,985
AND, IF THERE WAS ANY HOPE

122
00:03:38,054 --> 00:03:38,653
JOHNSON MIGHT MODERATE HIS VIEWS

123
00:03:38,722 --> 00:03:40,054
NOW THAT HE'S SPEAKER, THAT'S

124
00:03:40,123 --> 00:03:41,489
GONE.

125
00:03:41,558 --> 00:03:42,457
LAST WEEK, HE SENT A FUNDRAISING

126
00:03:42,526 --> 00:03:44,025
EMAIL EXPRESSING ALARM THAT HIGH

127
00:03:44,094 --> 00:03:49,266
SCHOOLERS INCREASINGLY

128
00:03:52,969 --> 00:03:53,534
SCHOOLERS INCREASINGLY IDENTIFY

129
00:03:53,603 --> 00:03:55,069
AS LGBTQ, AND ON TUESDAY,

130
00:03:55,138 --> 00:03:55,605
RECEIVED AN AWARD FROM THE

131
00:03:55,672 --> 00:03:57,004
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF

132
00:03:57,073 --> 00:03:57,772
CHRISTIAN LAWMAKERS FOR HONOR

133
00:03:57,841 --> 00:03:59,006
AND COURAGE, AND A TV EVANGELIST

134
00:03:59,075 --> 00:03:59,607
WHO CLAIMED "HOMOSEXUALITY IS

135
00:03:59,676 --> 00:04:01,275
THREE TIMES WORSE THAN SMOKING."

136
00:04:01,344 --> 00:04:03,077
WHICH IS ABSURD.

137
00:04:03,146 --> 00:04:03,678
THE ONLY THING A SMOKING HABIT

138
00:04:03,747 --> 00:04:04,679
AND SOMEONE'S SEXUALITY HAVE IN

139
00:04:04,748 --> 00:04:06,147
COMMON IS THAT THEY COULD BOTH

140
00:04:06,216 --> 00:04:07,548
BE STRONGLY INFLUENCED BY THIS

141
00:04:07,617 --> 00:04:10,418
PICTURE OF JOE CAMEL.

142
00:04:10,487 --> 00:04:11,052
LOOK AT HIM: BROAD AS FUCK AND

143
00:04:11,121 --> 00:04:16,357
TAILORED TIGHT.

144
00:04:16,426 --> 00:04:16,958
HE'S NOT JUST SERVING HUMPS:

145
00:04:17,027 --> 00:04:19,193
HE'S CAUSING THEM.

146
00:04:19,262 --> 00:04:20,027
AND, BECAUSE THERE WAS SO LITTLE

147
00:04:20,096 --> 00:04:21,195
VETTING BEFORE JOHNSON BECAME

148
00:04:21,264 --> 00:04:22,430
SPEAKER, WE KEEP DISCOVERING NEW

149
00:04:22,499 --> 00:04:24,132
UNSETTLING FACTS ABOUT HIM, LIKE

150
00:04:24,201 --> 00:04:25,166
THAT HE APPARENTLY USES AN APP

151
00:04:25,235 --> 00:04:27,168
THAT ALERTS HIM IF HIS SON LOOKS

152
00:04:27,237 --> 00:04:28,469
AT PORN ONLINE, AND VICE VERSA.

153
00:04:28,538 --> 00:04:31,272
>> IT SCANS ALL THE ACTIVITY ON

154
00:04:31,341 --> 00:04:33,040
YOUR PHONE, OR YOUR DEVICES,

155
00:04:33,109 --> 00:04:34,108
YOUR LAPTOP, TABLET, WHAT HAVE

156
00:04:34,177 --> 00:04:37,011
YOU: WE DO ALL OF IT.

157
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,547
IT SENDS A REPORT TO YOUR

158
00:04:37,614 --> 00:04:39,814
ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER.

159
00:04:39,883 --> 00:04:40,681
MY ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER RIGHT

160
00:04:40,750 --> 00:04:42,183
NOW IS JACK, MY SON.

161
00:04:42,252 --> 00:04:43,084
RIGHT?

162
00:04:43,153 --> 00:04:44,519
HE'S 17.

163
00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:45,753
SO, HE AND I GET A REPORT ABOUT

164
00:04:45,822 --> 00:04:46,921
ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE ON OUR

165
00:04:46,990 --> 00:04:47,555
PHONES, ALL OF OUR DEVICES, ONCE

166
00:04:47,624 --> 00:04:50,124
A WEEK.

167
00:04:50,193 --> 00:04:50,758
IF ANYTHING OBJECTIONABLE COMES

168
00:04:50,827 --> 00:04:52,927
UP, YOUR ACCOUNTABILITY PARTNER

169
00:04:52,996 --> 00:04:54,762
GETS AN IMMEDIATE NOTICE.

170
00:04:54,831 --> 00:04:55,930
I'M PROUD TO TELL YOU, MY SON,

171
00:04:55,999 --> 00:04:57,231
HE'S GOT A CLEAN SLATE.

172
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:00,501
>> John: OKAY.

173
00:05:00,570 --> 00:05:01,037
FIRST, OBVIOUSLY, IF MIKE

174
00:05:01,104 --> 00:05:03,037
JOHNSON'S SON IS WATCHING THIS,

175
00:05:03,106 --> 00:05:04,705
I'M REALLY SORRY.

176
00:05:04,774 --> 00:05:06,541
YOUR DAD SEEMS LIKE A LOT.

177
00:05:06,610 --> 00:05:07,208
AND, IF HE'S WATCHING THIS

178
00:05:07,277 --> 00:05:08,443
ONLINE, THEN I GUESS MIKE

179
00:05:08,512 --> 00:05:09,811
PROBABLY IS, TOO.

180
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,546
HI, MIKE!

181
00:05:11,615 --> 00:05:12,180
YOU MUST'VE GOT THE ALERT AFTER

182
00:05:12,249 --> 00:05:13,748
WE SHOWED THAT PICTURE OF THE

183
00:05:13,817 --> 00:05:15,349
CAMEL.

184
00:05:15,418 --> 00:05:15,950
AND, WHILE EVERYONE'S FOCUSING

185
00:05:16,019 --> 00:05:17,285
ON HIS SON'S ACTIVITY BEING SENT

186
00:05:17,354 --> 00:05:20,521
TO HIM, THAT SON'S ALSO GETTING

187
00:05:20,590 --> 00:05:21,155
A REPORT OF HIS DAD'S INTERNET

188
00:05:21,224 --> 00:05:24,559
ACTIVITY, WHICH MIGHT BE WORSE.

189
00:05:24,628 --> 00:05:27,361
NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S

190
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:28,396
TRAUMATIZING TO LEARN YOUR DAD

191
00:05:28,465 --> 00:05:29,897
SEARCHED FOR "THE SEX STUFF,

192
00:05:29,966 --> 00:05:36,966
LIGHTS OFF, SHIRTS ON,"

193
00:05:37,107 --> 00:05:39,740
ITS THAT HAVING ACCESS TO YOUR

194
00:05:39,809 --> 00:05:46,809
DAD'S MOM PORN SEARCHES IS --

195
00:05:47,017 --> 00:05:49,050
"SHAMPOO FOR THINNING HAIR,"

196
00:05:49,119 --> 00:05:49,650
"KNEE CLICKING CANCER QUESTION

197
00:05:49,719 --> 00:05:50,685
MARK,"

198
00:05:50,754 --> 00:05:52,220
"IS VIAGRA CHRISTIAN,"

199
00:05:52,289 --> 00:05:52,854
THAT'S A DARK GLIMPSE INTO

200
00:05:52,923 --> 00:05:53,921
TOMORROW NO 17-YEAR-OLD WANTS.

201
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:55,857
THE APP HE'S TALKING ABOUT IS

202
00:05:55,926 --> 00:05:56,891
CALLED "COVENANT EYES."

203
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:57,959
AND, IF YOU'RE A COMPANY TRYING

204
00:05:58,028 --> 00:05:58,559
TO STOP PEOPLE FROM CONSTANTLY

205
00:05:58,628 --> 00:05:59,961
THINKING ABOUT SEX, MAYBE DON'T

206
00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:00,728
MAKE YOUR LOGO LOOK LIKE A

207
00:06:00,797 --> 00:06:01,896
TANTALIZING HOLE.

208
00:06:01,965 --> 00:06:03,931
THERE ARE EVEN ADS FOR THE APP,

209
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,999
AND THEY'RE SPECTACULAR.

210
00:06:05,068 --> 00:06:05,800
>> SO, WHAT'S BETTER THAN JUST A

211
00:06:05,869 --> 00:06:06,667
PORN BLOCKER?

212
00:06:06,736 --> 00:06:07,502
USING A PORN BLOCKER WITH

213
00:06:07,571 --> 00:06:10,271
ACCOUNTABILITY.

214
00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:11,172
ACCOUNTABILITY ENABLES A TRUSTED

215
00:06:11,241 --> 00:06:12,507
FRIEND TO SEE HOW YOU'RE USING

216
00:06:12,576 --> 00:06:14,041
YOUR DEVICE.

217
00:06:14,110 --> 00:06:14,642
EVEN IF PORN SLIPS THROUGH THE

218
00:06:14,711 --> 00:06:15,877
CRACKS, SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS AND

219
00:06:15,946 --> 00:06:19,347
CAN HELP YOU GET BACK ON TRACK.

220
00:06:19,416 --> 00:06:20,081
THAT'S SOMETHING PORN BLOCKERS

221
00:06:20,150 --> 00:06:21,949
CAN NEVER DO.

222
00:06:22,018 --> 00:06:23,885
>> John: HOLD ON A SECOND.

223
00:06:23,954 --> 00:06:24,519
ARE WE ABSOLUTELY SURE THIS IS

224
00:06:24,588 --> 00:06:27,088
AN "ANTI-PORN" APP?

225
00:06:27,157 --> 00:06:27,590
BECAUSE, THESE TWO HAVE

226
00:06:27,657 --> 00:06:30,158
DEFINITELY FUCKED.

227
00:06:30,227 --> 00:06:30,360
"HEY!

228
00:06:30,427 --> 00:06:31,459
HOW'S IT GOING?

229
00:06:31,528 --> 00:06:34,962
WANT TO GET TOGETHER?"

230
00:06:35,031 --> 00:06:36,397
WHEN YOU KNOW SOMEONE IS

231
00:06:36,466 --> 00:06:37,131
MASTURBATING COULD JUST AS

232
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:37,832
EASILY BE A TEXT THAT SAYS "U

233
00:06:37,901 --> 00:06:39,033
UP?

234
00:06:39,102 --> 00:06:40,268
SMILEY FACE TONGUE-OUT EMOJI."

235
00:06:40,337 --> 00:06:41,402
AND, THAT'S NOT THE ONLY AD.

236
00:06:41,471 --> 00:06:42,203
I KNOW THE ANIMATED CHARACTERS

237
00:06:42,272 --> 00:06:43,638
WERE WEIRD, BUT WAIT UNTIL YOU

238
00:06:43,707 --> 00:06:45,139
SEE HUMANS GET INVOLVED.

239
00:06:45,208 --> 00:06:47,842
>> INTRODUCING COVENANT EYES:

240
00:06:47,911 --> 00:06:48,576
THE APP THAT HELPS YOU FIGHT

241
00:06:48,645 --> 00:06:49,844
PORN BY KEEPING YOU ACCOUNTABLE.

242
00:06:49,913 --> 00:06:51,412
JUST DOWNLOAD THE APP, CHOOSE A

243
00:06:51,481 --> 00:06:54,682
FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER TO BE

244
00:06:54,751 --> 00:06:55,251
YOUR ALLY, AND QUIT PORN FOR

245
00:06:55,318 --> 00:06:56,317
GOOD.

246
00:06:56,386 --> 00:06:57,819
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

247
00:06:57,888 --> 00:06:58,419
PERIODICALLY, YOUR ALLY WILL

248
00:06:58,488 --> 00:07:00,221
RECEIVE A REPORT OF ANY ONLINE

249
00:07:00,290 --> 00:07:01,122
ACTIVITY, AND ANY RISKY ACTIVITY

250
00:07:01,191 --> 00:07:03,825
IS CALLED OUT IN THE REPORT.

251
00:07:03,894 --> 00:07:04,425
BEFORE COVENANT EYES, I OFTEN

252
00:07:04,494 --> 00:07:05,960
FOUND MYSELF FEELING WEAK IN

253
00:07:06,029 --> 00:07:09,030
TEMPTING SITUATIONS.

254
00:07:09,099 --> 00:07:09,664
BUT NOW, KNOWING THAT JEFF WILL

255
00:07:09,733 --> 00:07:10,631
KNOW IF I STRUGGLE?

256
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:11,232
THAT'S ENOUGH TO GIVE ME THE

257
00:07:11,301 --> 00:07:12,400
EXTRA STRENGTH I NEED TO WIN THE

258
00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:14,335
FIGHT.

259
00:07:14,404 --> 00:07:15,269
>> John: NO!

260
00:07:15,338 --> 00:07:16,737
DO NOT BRING JEFF INTO THIS.

261
00:07:16,806 --> 00:07:18,840
HE'S AT WORK!

262
00:07:18,909 --> 00:07:19,640
HE DOESN'T NEED TO GET UP TO THE

263
00:07:19,709 --> 00:07:21,242
MINUTE NOTIFICATIONS ABOUT YOU

264
00:07:21,311 --> 00:07:23,344
SCRAPING YOUR APE TO

265
00:07:23,413 --> 00:07:26,514
"STEPSIBLING PORN, LONG LEGS."

266
00:07:26,583 --> 00:07:30,017
AGAIN, I FEEL LIKE THIS APP MAY

267
00:07:30,086 --> 00:07:31,385
BE HAVING THE OPPOSITE OF ITS

268
00:07:31,454 --> 00:07:32,687
INTENDED EFFECT.

269
00:07:32,756 --> 00:07:33,321
I'M JUST SAYING, IF I WERE THIS

270
00:07:33,390 --> 00:07:34,622
GUY'S WIFE, I'D WORRY LESS ABOUT

271
00:07:34,691 --> 00:07:35,556
THE PORN THING, AND MORE ABOUT

272
00:07:35,625 --> 00:07:37,191
THE JEFF THING.

273
00:07:37,260 --> 00:07:37,992
NOT ONLY ARE THEY SHARING THEIR

274
00:07:38,061 --> 00:07:39,627
PORN SEARCHES WITH EACH OTHER,

275
00:07:39,696 --> 00:07:40,163
THEY'RE ALSO GOING ON CUTE

276
00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:41,262
MUFFIN DATES: A LEVEL OF

277
00:07:41,331 --> 00:07:43,464
INTIMACY HIS WIFE CAN ONLY

278
00:07:43,533 --> 00:07:44,599
IMAGINE!

279
00:07:44,668 --> 00:07:45,199
AND, JUST LOOK HOW HAPPY JEFF

280
00:07:45,268 --> 00:07:46,567
SEEMS TO MAKE HIM!

281
00:07:46,636 --> 00:07:48,369
HE'S GLOWING!

282
00:07:48,438 --> 00:07:48,970
HIS WIFE BETTER OPEN HER EYES

283
00:07:49,039 --> 00:07:51,672
AND REALIZE THERE ARE THREE

284
00:07:51,741 --> 00:07:52,907
PEOPLE IN THIS MARRIAGE, AND

285
00:07:52,976 --> 00:07:55,510
SHE'S THE THIRD.

286
00:07:55,579 --> 00:07:56,144
AND LOOK: WHILE THIS IS FUN, A

287
00:07:56,213 --> 00:07:56,878
FEW THINGS.

288
00:07:56,947 --> 00:07:58,112
FIRST, IT'S PROBABLY NOT IDEAL

289
00:07:58,181 --> 00:07:59,280
FOR NATIONAL SECURITY, IF A GUY

290
00:07:59,349 --> 00:08:01,349
SECOND IN LINE TO THE PRESIDENCY

291
00:08:01,418 --> 00:08:02,683
HAS THAT APP ON HIS PHONE.

292
00:08:02,752 --> 00:08:03,518
BUT ALSO, THE STUFF PEOPLE ARE

293
00:08:03,587 --> 00:08:04,585
NOW UNEARTHING ABOUT MIKE

294
00:08:04,654 --> 00:08:05,887
JOHNSON EXTENDS BEYOND THE

295
00:08:05,956 --> 00:08:07,455
PERSONAL.

296
00:08:07,524 --> 00:08:08,856
JUST LAST WEEK, IT EMERGED HE'D

297
00:08:08,925 --> 00:08:10,124
BOTH PROMOTED AND WRITTEN THE

298
00:08:10,193 --> 00:08:11,626
FORWARD FOR "THE REVIVALIST

299
00:08:11,695 --> 00:08:13,594
MANIFESTO," A BOOK BY A

300
00:08:13,663 --> 00:08:15,129
RIGHT-WING BLOGGER THAT, AMONG

301
00:08:15,198 --> 00:08:16,898
OTHER THINGS, GIVES CREDENCE TO

302
00:08:16,967 --> 00:08:18,533
UNFOUNDED CONSPIRACY THEORIES,

303
00:08:18,602 --> 00:08:20,601
INCLUDING THE 'PIZZAGATE' HOAX

304
00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:21,803
AND DISPARAGES POOR VOTERS AS

305
00:08:21,872 --> 00:08:22,837
"UNSOPHISTICATED AND SUSCEPTIBLE

306
00:08:22,906 --> 00:08:24,605

00:08:24,674 --> 00:08:26,707
ARE "EASY TO MANIPULATE WITH

"BLACK LIVES MATTER 'DEFUND THE

POLICE' PANDERING."

310
00:08:28,912 --> 00:08:31,546
A PRETTY CLEAR DOG WHISTLE.

311
00:08:31,615 --> 00:08:32,115
NOW, A JOHNSON SPOKESPERSON

312
00:08:32,182 --> 00:08:33,381
INSISTS HE NEVER READ THOSE

313
00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:34,849
PASSAGES, WHICH HE STRONGLY

314
00:08:34,918 --> 00:08:36,651
DISAGREES WITH, AND THAT HE

315
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,019
WROTE THE FOREWORD AS A FAVOR,

316
00:08:38,088 --> 00:08:39,520
NOT AS AN ENDORSEMENT OF ALL THE

317
00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:41,289
OPINIONS EXPRESSED.

318
00:08:41,358 --> 00:08:42,924
BUT, JOHNSON HIMSELF WOULD

319
00:08:42,993 --> 00:08:44,625
DISAGREE WITH THAT, GIVEN WHAT

320
00:08:44,694 --> 00:08:46,027
HE SAID LAST YEAR ON HIS OWN

321
00:08:46,096 --> 00:08:47,962
PODCAST.

322
00:08:48,031 --> 00:08:48,796
>> I OBVIOUSLY BELIEVE IN THE

323
00:08:48,865 --> 00:08:50,231
PRODUCT, OR I WOULDN'T HAVE

324
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:51,032
WRITTEN THE FOREWORD.

325
00:08:51,101 --> 00:08:52,567
SO, I ENDORSE THE WORK.

326
00:08:52,636 --> 00:08:52,936
LOOK, I LOVE IT.

327
00:08:53,003 --> 00:08:54,569
I LOVE THE BOOK.

328
00:08:54,638 --> 00:08:55,403
EVERYBODY CAN GO AND GET THE

329
00:08:55,472 --> 00:08:56,337
BOOK.

330
00:08:56,406 --> 00:08:57,538
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

331
00:08:57,607 --> 00:08:58,108
>> John: YEAH, TURNS OUT HIS

332
00:08:58,175 --> 00:08:59,740
ENDORSEMENT WAS PRETTY

333
00:08:59,809 --> 00:09:00,808
FULL-THROATED.

334
00:09:00,877 --> 00:09:01,609
WHICH, INCIDENTALLY, IS A GOOGLE

335
00:09:01,678 --> 00:09:03,478
IMAGE SEARCH STRICTLY OFF LIMITS

336
00:09:03,547 --> 00:09:04,745
TO MIKE AND HIS SON.

337
00:09:04,814 --> 00:09:05,880
AND, I'M SURE THAT'S NOT THE

338
00:09:05,949 --> 00:09:06,647
LAST UPSETTING REVELATION WE'RE

339
00:09:06,716 --> 00:09:08,049
GOING TO GET ABOUT HIM.

340
00:09:08,118 --> 00:09:09,317
BUT, IT'S TOO LATE.

341
00:09:09,386 --> 00:09:10,785
HE'S ALREADY SPEAKER.

342
00:09:10,854 --> 00:09:11,652
FOR ALL THE FEAR OF A SECOND

343
00:09:11,721 --> 00:09:13,354
TRUMP TERM, IT'S WORTH

344
00:09:13,423 --> 00:09:14,455
REMEMBERING: OUR CURRENT SPEAKER

345
00:09:14,524 --> 00:09:16,190
OF THE HOUSE IS AN ANTI-LGBT

346
00:09:16,259 --> 00:09:17,558
BIGOT WHO BELIEVES IN MORE

347
00:09:17,627 --> 00:09:19,327
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HIS SON'S

348
00:09:19,396 --> 00:09:20,361
PORN SEARCH HISTORY THAN HE DOES

349
00:09:20,430 --> 00:09:21,596
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO TRIED TO

350
00:09:21,665 --> 00:09:23,331
OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT.

351
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,099
BUT THANKFULLY, THIS ISN'T

352
00:09:25,168 --> 00:09:26,534
INSURRECTION FOOTAGE: HE CAN'T

353
00:09:26,603 --> 00:09:28,035
BLUR HIS VIEWS AND HOPE NO ONE

354
00:09:28,104 --> 00:09:29,170
NOTICES.

355
00:09:29,239 --> 00:09:31,072
BECAUSE -- MUCH LIKE HIS SON --

356
00:09:31,141 --> 00:09:32,006
WE'RE ALL, UNFORTUNATELY, NOW

357
00:09:32,075 --> 00:09:32,342
WATCHING HIM.

358
00:09:32,409 --> 00:09:37,011
AND NOW, THIS.

359

00:09:47,357 --> 00:09:48,723
LOVE TO TALK TO IN TIMES LIKE

00:09:48,792 --> 00:09:53,461
THIS, METEOROLOGIST JIM CANTORE

365
00:09:53,530 --> 00:09:54,829
GOOD MORNING.

366
00:09:54,898 --> 00:09:55,663
WHAT IS THE WINTER OUTLOOK?

367
00:09:55,732 --> 00:09:56,697

368
00:09:56,766 --> 00:09:57,167
FROM START TO FINISH.

369
00:09:57,234 --> 00:09:58,566
>> I KNOW YOU ARE ON TOP OF IT.

370
00:09:58,635 --> 00:10:01,436
YOU LOOK ELECTRIC AND THAT

371
00:10:01,505 --> 00:10:03,871
ELECTRIC BLUE.

372
00:10:03,940 --> 00:10:04,505

00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:52,160
WHAT IT IS.

560
00:14:52,229 --> 00:14:53,628
>> John: NONE OF THAT IS GOOD,

561
00:14:53,697 --> 00:14:55,463
BUT THE PHRASE "A RED SUBSTANCE

562
00:14:55,532 --> 00:14:56,430
WAS SPILLED BUT OFFICIALS HAVE

563
00:14:56,499 --> 00:14:57,365
NOT CONFIRMED WHAT IT IS" IS

564
00:14:57,434 --> 00:14:59,500
TRULY CHILLING.

565
00:14:59,569 --> 00:15:00,935
IT SOUNDS LESS LIKE A LEGITIMATE

566
00:15:01,004 --> 00:15:01,836
NEWS REPORT AND MORE LIKE THE

567
00:15:01,905 --> 00:15:02,437
FIRST DRAFT OF A STEPHEN KING

568
00:15:02,506 --> 00:15:04,472
NOVEL.

569
00:15:04,541 --> 00:15:05,273
TRAIN DERAILMENTS HAPPEN A LOT,

570
00:15:05,342 --> 00:15:07,475
AND EXPERTS SAY THE REASON WE

571
00:15:07,544 --> 00:15:08,342
HAVEN'T HAD MASSIVE LOSS OF LIFE

572
00:15:08,411 --> 00:15:09,844
IN THIS COUNTRY AS A RESULT IS

573
00:15:09,913 --> 00:15:12,246
MORE LUCK THAN ANYTHING ELSE.

574
00:15:12,315 --> 00:15:13,080
>> THE RAILROADS ARE GOING TO

575
00:15:13,149 --> 00:15:14,782
KEEP FLIRTING WITH DANGER, KEEP

576
00:15:14,851 --> 00:15:16,250
FLIRTING WITH DISASTER, AS LONG

577
00:15:16,319 --> 00:15:20,924
AS PEOPLE ARE GETTING RICH

578
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,427
AS PEOPLE ARE GETTING RICH

579
00:15:24,494 --> 00:15:25,460
I DON'T WANT TO SAY THAT WE

580
00:15:25,529 --> 00:15:26,794
DODGED A BULLET IN EAST

581
00:15:26,863 --> 00:15:27,895
PALESTINE.

582
00:15:27,964 --> 00:15:28,496
BUT, THE NEXT ONE MAY BE IN A

583
00:15:28,565 --> 00:15:29,096
MAJOR URBAN AREA.

584
00:15:29,165 --> 00:15:30,364
IT MAY BE IN A DOWNTOWN CHICAGO.

585
00:15:30,433 --> 00:15:30,998
IT MAY BE IN A DOWNTOWN NEW YORK

586
00:15:31,067 --> 00:15:32,133
CITY.

587
00:15:32,202 --> 00:15:32,967
>> John: IT'S TERRIFYING TO

588
00:15:33,036 --> 00:15:34,135
THINK A TRAIN DISASTER LIKE EAST

589
00:15:34,204 --> 00:15:35,036
PALESTINE COULD HAPPEN IN NEW

590
00:15:35,105 --> 00:15:36,337
YORK.

591
00:15:36,406 --> 00:15:37,305
PARTLY BECAUSE I LIVE HERE, AND

592
00:15:37,374 --> 00:15:38,806
PARTLY BECAUSE NEW YORKERS ARE

593
00:15:38,875 --> 00:15:39,774
DEALING WITH ENOUGH DREAD AND

594
00:15:39,843 --> 00:15:43,611
PANIC AS IT IS.

595
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,315
WE ARE A PERPETUAL TERROR

596
00:15:47,384 --> 00:15:48,483
TARGET, WE

597
00:15:48,552 --> 00:15:49,117
GOT THE COUNTRY'S FIRST BIG WAVE

598
00:15:49,186 --> 00:15:50,651
OF COVID, WE HAD A BIBLICAL

599
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,186
PLAGUE OF LANTERNFLIES LAST

600
00:15:52,255 --> 00:15:52,820
SUMMER, AND THERE'S AN ARMY OF

601
00:15:52,889 --> 00:15:54,055
CREEPY ELMOS RUNNING RAMPANT IN

602
00:15:54,124 --> 00:15:55,423
TIMES SQUARE: WE DON'T HAVE THE

603
00:15:55,492 --> 00:15:56,791
ANXIETY BANDWIDTH TO ALSO WORRY

604
00:15:56,860 --> 00:15:57,360
ABOUT A GIANT TRAIN FULL OF

605
00:15:57,427 --> 00:15:58,893
POISON EXPLODING IN THE MIDDLE

606
00:15:58,962 --> 00:16:00,061
OF THE CITY.

607
00:16:00,130 --> 00:16:00,661
SO, IF FREIGHT TRAINS HAVE THE

608
00:16:00,730 --> 00:16:02,363
POWER TO CAUSE THAT MUCH DAMAGE,

609
00:16:02,432 --> 00:16:02,997
TONIGHT, LET'S TALK ABOUT THEM.

610
00:16:03,066 --> 00:16:04,265
AND, LET'S START WITH THE FACT

611
00:16:04,334 --> 00:16:05,133
THE FREIGHT RAIL INDUSTRY "USED"

612
00:16:05,202 --> 00:16:06,400
TO BE HEAVILY REGULATED.

613
00:16:06,469 --> 00:16:07,468
BUT, IN THE 1970S, AFTER THE

614
00:16:07,537 --> 00:16:08,569
INTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEM CAME

615
00:16:08,638 --> 00:16:09,337
ALONG, AND RAIL SHIPPING LOST A

616
00:16:09,406 --> 00:16:10,872
LOT OF BUSINESS TO TRUCKING,

617
00:16:10,941 --> 00:16:11,939
THERE WAS PRESSURE TO DEREGULATE

618
00:16:12,008 --> 00:16:13,574
THE INDUSTRY SO IT COULD

619
00:16:13,643 --> 00:16:15,176
COMPETE.

620
00:16:15,245 --> 00:16:17,044
AND, IN 1980, A LOT OF THE

621
00:16:17,113 --> 00:16:17,678
CONTROLS WE'D HAD IN PLACE WERE

622
00:16:17,747 --> 00:16:19,647
REMOVED, ALLOWING FOR HUGE

623
00:16:19,716 --> 00:16:20,183
CONSOLIDATION OF RAILROAD

624
00:16:20,250 --> 00:16:21,516
COMPANIES, TO THE POINT WHERE --

625
00:16:21,585 --> 00:16:23,084
WHILE THERE USED TO BE OVER 100

626
00:16:23,153 --> 00:16:24,018
CLASS 1 RAILROADS IN NORTH

627
00:16:24,087 --> 00:16:27,088
AMERICA, THERE ARE NOW JUST SIX

628
00:16:27,157 --> 00:16:27,889
MASSIVE, EXTREMELY POWERFUL

629
00:16:27,958 --> 00:16:29,223
COMPANIES.

630
00:16:29,292 --> 00:16:30,892
AND, MUCH OF THE OVERSIGHT OF

631
00:16:30,961 --> 00:16:32,627
SAFETY IS LEFT TO THE FEDERAL

632
00:16:32,696 --> 00:16:34,028
RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION, WHICH

633
00:16:34,097 --> 00:16:35,630
IS A FAIRLY WEAK REGULATOR.

634
00:16:35,699 --> 00:16:36,597
AND, IT'S NOT JUST ME SAYING

635
00:16:36,666 --> 00:16:37,498
THAT: A GOVERNMENT REPORT FOUND

636
00:16:37,567 --> 00:16:39,534
THAT THE AGENCY ITSELF ESTIMATES

637
00:16:39,603 --> 00:16:40,568
ITS INSPECTORS HAVE THE ABILITY

638
00:16:40,637 --> 00:16:42,837
TO INSPECT LESS THAN 1% OF THE

639
00:16:42,906 --> 00:16:44,906
RAILROAD ACTIVITIES COVERED IN

640
00:16:44,975 --> 00:16:46,507
REGULATION.

641
00:16:46,576 --> 00:16:47,508
AND, AS A RESULT, RAILROADS

642
00:16:47,577 --> 00:16:49,343
THEMSELVES HAVE THE PRIMARY

643
00:16:49,412 --> 00:16:51,446
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SAFETY OF

644
00:16:51,515 --> 00:16:52,780
THE RAILROAD SYSTEM.

645
00:16:52,849 --> 00:16:54,515
AND, IF HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US

646
00:16:54,584 --> 00:16:58,619
ANYTHING, THAT'S NOT A FORMULA

647
00:16:58,688 --> 00:17:00,221
FOR GOOD OUTCOMES.

648
00:17:00,290 --> 00:17:00,922
IF ANYTHING, THE FORMULA IS

649
00:17:00,991 --> 00:17:02,790
"INDUSTRY PLUS DEREGULATION

650
00:17:02,859 --> 00:17:04,025
MINUS GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT

651
00:17:04,094 --> 00:17:04,594
EQUALS EPISODE OF "LAST WEEK

652
00:17:04,661 --> 00:17:06,494
TONIGHT"."

653
00:17:06,563 --> 00:17:08,629
AND, GUESS WHAT?

654
00:17:08,698 --> 00:17:08,965
HERE WE ARE!

655
00:17:09,032 --> 00:17:10,198
ALTHOUGH, I'LL GIVE THE FRA SOME

656
00:17:10,267 --> 00:17:12,233
CREDIT: IT DOES PRODUCE SOME

657
00:17:12,302 --> 00:17:13,100
SPECTACULAR RAILWAY-SAFETY

658
00:17:13,169 --> 00:17:14,035
VIDEOS TO SHOW YOU WHAT NOT TO

659
00:17:14,104 --> 00:17:18,439
DO AROUND TRAIN TRACKS.

660
00:17:18,508 --> 00:17:21,175
>> SHOOT.

661
00:17:21,244 --> 00:17:22,844
I THINK THE CAR JUST DIED.

662
00:17:22,913 --> 00:17:24,278
UGH.

663
00:17:24,347 --> 00:17:24,848
SERIOUSLY, THIS IS NOT

664
00:17:24,915 --> 00:17:25,913
HAPPENING.

665
00:17:25,982 --> 00:17:27,048
>> WHY DID WE STOP?

666
00:17:27,117 --> 00:17:28,082
WHAT HAPPENED?

667
00:17:28,151 --> 00:17:29,383
>> ARE WE STUCK?

668
00:17:29,452 --> 00:17:31,552
>> IT'S FINE.

669
00:17:31,621 --> 00:17:32,220
WE'LL JUST -- WE'LL SIT HERE FOR

670
00:17:32,289 --> 00:17:35,423
A MINUTE, AND I WILL CALL

671
00:17:35,492 --> 00:17:39,527
SOMEONE.

672
00:17:39,596 --> 00:17:40,161
>> BUT, WHAT IF THERE'S A TRAIN

673
00:17:40,230 --> 00:17:41,496
COMING?

674
00:17:41,565 --> 00:17:43,364
>> DON'T WORRY.

675
00:17:43,433 --> 00:17:43,998
THERE'S NEVER A TRAIN HERE, AND

676
00:17:44,067 --> 00:17:45,032
I'M SURE WE WOULD HEAR ONE

677
00:17:45,101 --> 00:17:49,270
COMING FROM PRETTY FAR AWAY.

678
00:17:49,339 --> 00:17:53,775
>> John: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

679
00:17:53,844 --> 00:17:54,344
IT'S HARD TO PICK A FAVORITE

680
00:17:54,411 --> 00:17:58,579
REACTION FROM THE WORLD'S

681
00:17:58,648 --> 00:17:59,180
CALMEST OR DUMBEST MOM -- "I

682
00:17:59,249 --> 00:18:00,782
THINK THE CAR JUST DIED" WHEN

683
00:18:00,851 --> 00:18:02,216
YOUR CAR 'CLEARLY' DIED IS AN

684
00:18:02,285 --> 00:18:03,718
OBVIOUS HALL OF FAMER -- BUT FOR

685
00:18:03,787 --> 00:18:04,287
MY MONEY, I'M GOING WITH THE

686
00:18:04,354 --> 00:18:05,753
ABSOLUTE BLIND CONFIDENCE OF

687
00:18:05,822 --> 00:18:06,387
"THERE'S NEVER A TRAIN HERE," A

688
00:18:06,456 --> 00:18:07,822
FACT SHE CANNOT KNOW AND DOESN'T

689
00:18:07,891 --> 00:18:09,290
SEEM TO TOTALLY BELIEVE HERSELF.

690
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,258
ALSO -- AND THIS ISN'T HUGELY

691
00:18:10,327 --> 00:18:15,763
IMPORTANT -- BUT "I WILL CALL

692
00:18:15,832 --> 00:18:16,032
SOMEONE?"

693
00:18:16,099 --> 00:18:16,998
"WHO" EXACTLY DO YOU THINK YOU'D

694
00:18:17,067 --> 00:18:18,166
CALL?

695
00:18:18,235 --> 00:18:18,833
AND, HOW DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD

696
00:18:18,902 --> 00:18:19,867
GO?

697
00:18:19,936 --> 00:18:20,468
"HI, MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON SOME

698
00:18:20,537 --> 00:18:21,037
TRAIN TRACKS, I'M IN THE CAR

699
00:18:21,104 --> 00:18:22,703
WITH MY CHILDREN."

700
00:18:22,772 --> 00:18:23,638
"GET OUT OF THE CAR AND OFF THE

701
00:18:23,707 --> 00:18:24,505
TRACKS."

702
00:18:24,574 --> 00:18:25,139
"I'M PRETTY SURE THERE'S NEVER A

703
00:18:25,208 --> 00:18:26,107
TRAIN HERE."

704
00:18:26,176 --> 00:18:27,175
"REALLY?

705
00:18:27,244 --> 00:18:27,744
BECAUSE TRAINS GENERALLY GO

706
00:18:27,811 --> 00:18:28,476
WHERE THE TRACKS ARE.

707
00:18:28,545 --> 00:18:29,377
PUT ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN ON THE

708
00:18:29,446 --> 00:18:30,645
PHONE."

709
00:18:30,714 --> 00:18:31,813
"ARE YOU GOING TO SEND SOMEONE

710
00:18:31,882 --> 00:18:33,047
TO HELP ME, OFFICER?

711
00:18:33,116 --> 00:18:33,681
"LADY, I'M NOT EVEN THE POLICE,

712
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:34,749
THIS IS JUST A NUMBER YOU

713
00:18:34,818 --> 00:18:35,883
CALLED, GET OFF THE FUCKING

714
00:18:35,952 --> 00:18:37,018
TRACKS."

715
00:18:37,087 --> 00:18:38,619
BUT, BACK TO THE FRA.

716
00:18:38,688 --> 00:18:39,253
AS I WAS SAYING, THE PROBLEM IS

717
00:18:39,322 --> 00:18:40,121
THAT THEY HAVE LIMITED INSIGHT

718
00:18:40,190 --> 00:18:41,122
INTO WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING

719
00:18:41,191 --> 00:18:42,457
ON THE RAILS.

720
00:18:42,526 --> 00:18:43,558
AND, NOT EVERY PROBLEM IS AS

721
00:18:43,627 --> 00:18:43,726
PAUL

722
00:18:43,793 --> 00:18:49,263
EASY TO SOLVE AS TAKING AWAY

723
00:18:49,332 --> 00:18:49,964
THIS WOMAN'S DRIVERS LICENSE

724
00:18:50,033 --> 00:18:51,732
FOREVER.

725
00:18:51,801 --> 00:18:52,366
AS WE LEARNED IN EAST PALESTINE,

726
00:18:52,435 --> 00:18:56,571
SOME TRAINS HAUL HAZARDOUS

727
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,140
MATERIALS, AND THE TRUTH IS,

728
00:18:57,207 --> 00:18:59,073
NEITHER THE FRA NOR ANYONE ELSE

729
00:18:59,142 --> 00:18:59,941
KNOWS THEY'RE THERE, WHICH IS

730
00:19:00,010 --> 00:19:01,509
WILD.

731
00:19:01,578 --> 00:19:03,744
IT'S CRAZY THAT THE FAA KNOWS

732
00:19:03,813 --> 00:19:04,314
ABOUT THE EXACT LOCATION OF

733
00:19:04,381 --> 00:19:04,946
5,000 PLANES IN THE SKY, BUT THE

734
00:19:05,015 --> 00:19:05,546
FRA CAN'T TELL YOU WHERE MOST

735
00:19:05,615 --> 00:19:06,214
TRAINS ARE, OR WHAT THEY

736
00:19:06,283 --> 00:19:07,181
CONTAIN.

737
00:19:07,250 --> 00:19:08,616
IN FACT, IN THE NEW YORK AREA A

738
00:19:08,685 --> 00:19:09,484
WHILE BACK, PEOPLE GOT PRETTY

739
00:19:09,553 --> 00:19:11,319
ALARMED WHEN THEY LEARNED THAT

740
00:19:11,388 --> 00:19:12,487
VOLATILE CRUDE OIL WAS BEING

741
00:19:12,556 --> 00:19:13,056
TRANSPORTED, RIGHT ALONG THE

742
00:19:13,123 --> 00:19:14,789
HUDSON RIVER.

743
00:19:14,858 --> 00:19:15,423
>> THIS IS THE GREATEST THREAT

744
00:19:15,492 --> 00:19:16,390
TO THE HUDSON I'VE EXPERIENCED

745
00:19:16,459 --> 00:19:18,960
IN MY ENTIRE CAREER.

746
00:19:19,029 --> 00:19:20,862
THESE TRAINS THAT RUN FOR ALMOST

747
00:19:20,931 --> 00:19:24,298
50 MILES RIGHT NEXT TO THE RIVER

748
00:19:24,367 --> 00:19:27,201
CARRYING HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE CRUDE

749
00:19:27,270 --> 00:19:31,038
OIL IN RAIL CARS THAT WERE NOT

750
00:19:31,107 --> 00:19:33,107
DESIGNED FOR THIS, THAT SHEER ON

751
00:19:33,176 --> 00:19:35,009
IMPACT.

752
00:19:35,078 --> 00:19:36,677
>> 120 CARS ON SOME OF THESE

753
00:19:36,746 --> 00:19:38,546
TRAINS, 30,000 GALLONS OF FUEL

754
00:19:38,615 --> 00:19:41,082
PER CAR, VERY VOLATILE FUEL.

755
00:19:41,151 --> 00:19:42,583
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, EACH

756
00:19:42,652 --> 00:19:45,253
OF THESE TRAIN CARS IS LIKE A

757
00:19:45,322 --> 00:19:50,658
ROLLING BOMB.

758
00:19:50,727 --> 00:19:53,227
>> John: IT'S TRUE, AND THAT

759
00:19:53,296 --> 00:19:55,663
IS NOT UNIQUE TO THE HUDSON

760
00:19:55,732 --> 00:19:58,099
RAIL LINE.

761
00:19:58,168 --> 00:19:58,699
TRAINS THAT CARRY COMBUSTIBLE

762
00:19:58,768 --> 00:20:00,468
CARGO ARE REGULARLY REFERRED TO

763
00:20:00,537 --> 00:20:00,970
BY RAIL WORKERS AS "BOMB

764
00:20:01,037 --> 00:20:02,103
TRAINS."

765
00:20:02,172 --> 00:20:03,571
WHICH IS TERRIFYING.

766
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:04,205
"BOMB TRAIN" DOESN'T SOUND LIKE

767
00:20:04,274 --> 00:20:04,806
SOMETHING THAT SHOULD EVER BE

768
00:20:04,875 --> 00:20:06,140
ALLOWED ON A RAILWAY: IT SOUNDS

769
00:20:06,209 --> 00:20:06,908
LIKE THE TITLE OF A JASON

770
00:20:06,977 --> 00:20:08,443
STATHAM MOVIE THAT'S GOT 27%ON

771
00:20:08,512 --> 00:20:09,644
ROTTEN TOMATOES.

772
00:20:09,713 --> 00:20:12,580
BUT, "ROLLING BOMB" IS A PRETTY

773
00:20:12,649 --> 00:20:14,184
STATHAM MOVIE THAT'S GOT 27% ON

774
00:20:17,521 --> 00:20:18,085
BUT, "ROLLING BOMB" IS A PRETTY

775
00:20:18,154 --> 00:20:19,620
ACCURATE DESCRIPTION.

776
00:20:19,689 --> 00:20:20,190
JUST 22 TRAIN CARS CARRYING

777
00:20:20,257 --> 00:20:21,255
LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS HOLD THE

778
00:20:21,324 --> 00:20:21,856
EQUIVALENT BLAST ENERGY OF THE

779
00:20:21,925 --> 00:20:22,723
NUCLEAR BOMB DROPPED ON

780
00:20:22,792 --> 00:20:24,192
HIROSHIMA.

781
00:20:24,261 --> 00:20:25,226
AND, THERE'VE BEEN INCIDENTS

782
00:20:25,295 --> 00:20:26,594
WHERE TRAIN CARS FULL OF CRUDE

783
00:20:26,663 --> 00:20:27,728
OIL HAVE EXPLODED IN POPULATED

784
00:20:27,797 --> 00:20:28,329
AREAS.

785
00:20:28,398 --> 00:20:29,764
IN CANADA IN 2013, THERE WAS AN

786
00:20:29,833 --> 00:20:30,865
EXPLOSION IN THE AREA OF

787
00:20:30,934 --> 00:20:31,999
LAC-MEGANTIC THAT KILLED 47

788
00:20:32,068 --> 00:20:33,167
PEOPLE AND LEFT THE TOWN LOOKING

789
00:20:33,236 --> 00:20:34,235
LIKE THIS, WHICH MAY NOT SEEM SO

790
00:20:34,304 --> 00:20:35,536
ALARMING, UNTIL YOU SEE WHAT

791
00:20:35,605 --> 00:20:36,404
THAT EXACT SPOT LOOKED LIKE

792
00:20:36,473 --> 00:20:37,572
BEFORE THE BLAST.

793
00:20:37,641 --> 00:20:39,173
IT'S HARD TO TELL, BUT IF YOU

794
00:20:39,242 --> 00:20:40,308
LOOK VERY CLOSELY, YOU'LL NOTICE

795
00:20:40,377 --> 00:20:41,075
THAT THE "TOWN" PART OF THAT

796
00:20:41,144 --> 00:20:42,743
TOWN IS GONE.

797
00:20:42,812 --> 00:20:44,145
AND, THE NOTION THAT PROFITS

798
00:20:44,214 --> 00:20:45,246
MIGHT BE GETTING PRIORITIZED

799
00:20:45,315 --> 00:20:46,347
OVER SAFETY IS IN KEEPING WITH

800
00:20:46,416 --> 00:20:47,582
THE LARGER TREND SHAPING THE

801
00:20:47,651 --> 00:20:48,983
FREIGHT RAIL INDUSTRY.

802
00:20:49,052 --> 00:20:49,452
BECAUSE, LIKE MANY BIG

803
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:50,985
COMPANIES, THESE GIANT RAILWAY

804
00:20:51,054 --> 00:20:52,253
FIRMS HAVE FELT INCREASING

805
00:20:52,322 --> 00:20:53,321
PRESSURE TO SQUEEZE MARGINS TO

806
00:20:53,390 --> 00:20:54,956
PLEASE INVESTORS.

807
00:20:55,025 --> 00:20:56,491
AND, THAT BRINGS US TO THE KEY

808
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,658
TREND IN FREIGHT RAIL OVER THE

809
00:20:57,727 --> 00:21:00,094
PAST FEW DECADES: PRECISION

810
00:21:00,163 --> 00:21:04,332
SCHEDULED RAILROADING, OR PSR.

811
00:21:04,401 --> 00:21:04,966
IT'S THE BRAINCHILD OF THIS MAN:

812
00:21:05,035 --> 00:21:06,000
HUNTER HARRISON, SEEN HERE

813
00:21:06,069 --> 00:21:08,436
MID-COLONOSCOPY.

814
00:21:08,505 --> 00:21:09,237
UNTIL HIS DEATH SIX YEARS AGO,

815
00:21:09,306 --> 00:21:11,239
HARRISON WORKED AS A CEO AT FOUR

816
00:21:11,308 --> 00:21:12,907
MAJOR RAILROADS, AND HIS

817
00:21:12,976 --> 00:21:13,908
PHILOSOPHY OF PSR HAS NOW TAKEN

818
00:21:13,977 --> 00:21:16,277
OVER THE INDUSTRY.

819
00:21:16,346 --> 00:21:17,011
AND, IT'S ABOUT AGGRESSIVELY

820
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,683
PURSUING EFFICIENCY.

821
00:21:22,752 --> 00:21:23,253
TO THAT END, RAILROADS HAVE

822
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,186
CLOSED FACILITIES, RETIRED

823
00:21:25,255 --> 00:21:26,721
LOCOMOTIVES AND RAILCARS AND CUT

824
00:21:26,790 --> 00:21:28,089
WORKERS TO LOWER COSTS.

825
00:21:28,158 --> 00:21:29,190
AND, ALL OF THAT IS THE KIND OF

826
00:21:29,259 --> 00:21:29,991
STUFF THAT MAKES WALL STREET

827
00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:31,125
IDIOTS EXTREMELY HAPPY.

828
00:21:31,194 --> 00:21:33,027
IN FACT, HERE'S ONE OF THEM NOW!

829
00:21:33,096 --> 00:21:38,599
>> HUNTER HARRISON!

830
00:21:38,668 --> 00:21:43,004
THE NEW DARLING OF WALL STREET

831
00:21:43,073 --> 00:21:43,540
HARRISON WILL IMPLEMENT A

832
00:21:43,607 --> 00:21:45,940
STRATEGY THAT'S KNOWN AS

833
00:21:46,009 --> 00:21:46,607
PRECISION SCHEDULED RAILROADING.

834
00:21:46,676 --> 00:21:47,475
HE'S ALREADY CHANGED ROUTES AND

835
00:21:47,544 --> 00:21:50,011
SCHEDULES AND THE WAY THE

836
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:50,547
COMPANY SORTS LONG TRAINS.

837
00:21:50,614 --> 00:21:51,212
HE ACTUALLY MAPS THEM OUT IN HIS

838
00:21:51,281 --> 00:21:52,146
OWN LIVING ROOM.

839
00:21:52,215 --> 00:21:54,115
I'M NOT KIDDING.

840
00:21:54,184 --> 00:21:55,283
THIS GUY'S THE REAL DEAL.

841
00:21:55,352 --> 00:21:56,651
THE GUY IS THE TRAIN WHISPERER.

842
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,385
>> John: COOL!

843
00:21:57,454 --> 00:21:58,553
YOU KNOW A PERSON IS PRETTY

844
00:21:58,622 --> 00:21:59,187
AWESOME IF THEY GET A RINGING,

845
00:21:59,256 --> 00:22:00,655
SOUND-EFFECT-LADEN ENDORSEMENT

846
00:22:00,724 --> 00:22:01,589
ON AN ESTEEMED SHOW LIKE "BIG

847
00:22:01,658 --> 00:22:02,490
BUCKS WORD PUKE WITH CAPTAIN

848
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:03,691
MONEY CLOWN."

849
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,592
BUT, IT'S TRUE: HUNTER HARRISON

850
00:22:04,661 --> 00:22:05,993
WAS THE TYPE OF GUY WHO MAPPED

851
00:22:06,062 --> 00:22:07,862
TRAIN ROUTES OUT AT HOME.

852
00:22:07,931 --> 00:22:11,432
HE WAS ALSO THE TYPE OF GUY WHO

853
00:22:11,501 --> 00:22:12,300
LOOKED FOR EVEN THE SMALLEST

854
00:22:12,369 --> 00:22:13,901
WAYS TO CUT COSTS, FROM TEARING

855
00:22:13,970 --> 00:22:14,869
UP UNUSED TRACKS TO ELIMINATING

856
00:22:14,938 --> 00:22:15,937
OVERNIGHT STAYS FOR TRAIN CREWS.

857
00:22:16,006 --> 00:22:17,305
HE EVEN FLEW AROUND IN A

858
00:22:17,374 --> 00:22:18,306
CORPORATE JET WITH A TAIL NUMBER

859
00:22:18,375 --> 00:22:20,575
THAT READ OR59, HIS ASPIRATIONAL

860
00:22:20,644 --> 00:22:22,510
OPERATING RATIO.

861
00:22:22,579 --> 00:22:24,112
PRESUMABLY SOMETHING THAT MADE

862
00:22:24,181 --> 00:22:24,946
HIM SO HAPPY, HE SMILED LIKE

863
00:22:25,015 --> 00:22:26,647
THIS.

864
00:22:26,716 --> 00:22:28,916
BUT, THAT EFFICIENCY FOR THE

865
00:22:28,985 --> 00:22:30,184
COMPANIES HAS COME AT TREMENDOUS

866
00:22:30,253 --> 00:22:31,519
COST TO EVERYONE ELSE.

867
00:22:31,588 --> 00:22:36,457
AND, LET'S START WITH ONE OF THE

868
00:22:36,526 --> 00:22:38,926
THINGS THAT MYSPACE MIGHT BE

869
00:22:38,995 --> 00:22:39,496
LOIS

870
00:22:41,031 --> 00:22:41,131
--

871
00:22:41,198 --> 00:22:46,801
THINGS THAT MAY BE LESS OBVIOUS,

872
00:22:46,870 --> 00:22:47,370
BECAUSE A KEY COMPONENT OF

873
00:22:47,437 --> 00:22:48,903
PRECISION SCHEDULED RAILROADING

874
00:22:48,972 --> 00:22:49,472
IS RUNNING FEWER, BUT MUCH

875
00:22:49,539 --> 00:22:52,573
LONGER TRAINS -- AND I MEAN

876
00:22:52,642 --> 00:22:53,076
"MUCH" LONGER.

877
00:22:53,143 --> 00:22:54,542
SOME TRAINS NOW STRETCH NEARLY

878
00:22:54,611 --> 00:22:55,443
THREE MILES LONG.

879
00:22:55,512 --> 00:22:56,210
AND, THOSE LONGER TRAINS AREN'T

880
00:22:56,279 --> 00:22:56,978
JUST DANGEROUS WHEN THEY'RE

881
00:22:57,047 --> 00:22:57,678
MOVING: THEY CAN ALSO BE

882
00:22:57,747 --> 00:22:58,946
DANGEROUS WHEN THEY'RE NOT.

883
00:22:59,015 --> 00:22:59,580
TRAINS FREQUENTLY NEED TO STOP

884
00:22:59,649 --> 00:23:00,581
TO ALLOW OTHER TRAINS TO PASS,

885
00:23:00,650 --> 00:23:02,049
OR TO WORK ON MECHANICAL ISSUES.

886
00:23:02,118 --> 00:23:02,585
AND, TRACKS WERE BUILT TO

887
00:23:02,652 --> 00:23:04,152
ACCOMMODATE THIS, WITH SIDINGS

888
00:23:04,221 --> 00:23:04,752
ALONGSIDE THE MAIN LINE, WHERE

889
00:23:04,821 --> 00:23:05,887
TRAINS CAN PULL OVER.

890
00:23:05,956 --> 00:23:07,255
THE PROBLEM IS, THOSE SIDINGS

891
00:23:07,324 --> 00:23:08,790
WERE BUILT WHEN TRAINS WERE MUCH

892
00:23:08,859 --> 00:23:09,423
SHORTER, AND NOWADAYS, WHEN THEY

893
00:23:09,492 --> 00:23:10,758
ARE MULTIPLE MILES LONG, THEY

894
00:23:10,827 --> 00:23:12,426
CAN WIND UP STRETCHING BACK ONTO

895
00:23:12,495 --> 00:23:13,194
THE MAIN TRACK, AND POSSIBLY

896
00:23:13,263 --> 00:23:14,428
ACROSS ROADS, BLOCKING TRAFFIC.

897
00:23:14,497 --> 00:23:16,364
AND, THAT'S ONE REASON WHY THIS

898
00:23:16,433 --> 00:23:17,498
CAN HAPPEN.

899
00:23:17,567 --> 00:23:17,967
>> FOR SOME EAST END

900
00:23:18,034 --> 00:23:19,700
NEIGHBORHOODS, THIS HAS BECOME A

901
00:23:19,769 --> 00:23:21,736
WAY TOO UNWELCOME SOUNDTRACK.

902
00:23:21,805 --> 00:23:23,704
THE BELLS START, TRAFFIC STOPS,

903
00:23:23,773 --> 00:23:24,472
THIS DRIVER SLEEPS, THIS GUY

904
00:23:24,541 --> 00:23:25,706
CLIMBS OVER, THIS ONE, TOO,

905
00:23:25,775 --> 00:23:27,375
ANOTHER RIGHT UNDER.

906
00:23:27,444 --> 00:23:28,743
ALL OF IT WITHOUT A THOUGHT TO

907
00:23:28,812 --> 00:23:29,644
THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY

908
00:23:29,713 --> 00:23:30,978
CONSEQUENCES.

909
00:23:31,047 --> 00:23:34,949
THE WAIT JUST BECOMES TOO LONG.

910
00:23:35,018 --> 00:23:36,717
WELL, HOW OFTEN DOES THIS

911
00:23:36,786 --> 00:23:37,785
HAPPEN, LORENZO?

912
00:23:37,854 --> 00:23:39,754
>> UM, JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY.

913
00:23:39,823 --> 00:23:40,354
>> John: IT'S TRUE: IN CERTAIN

914
00:23:40,423 --> 00:23:41,656
TOWNS, TRAINS CAN BLOCK TRAFFIC,

915
00:23:41,725 --> 00:23:43,157
AND FOR HOURS.

916
00:23:43,226 --> 00:23:43,891
AND, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY CAN

917
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,725
QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE WAY BY

918
00:23:44,794 --> 00:23:46,027
TURNING AROUND.

919
00:23:46,096 --> 00:23:46,861
TRAINS ARE LIKE LIAM PAYNE: THEY

920
00:23:46,930 --> 00:23:47,728
REALLY ONLY WORK IN ONE

921
00:23:47,797 --> 00:23:49,564
DIRECTION.

922
00:23:49,633 --> 00:23:51,766
LAST YEAR ALONE, THERE WERE MORE

923
00:23:51,835 --> 00:23:53,634
THAN 30,000 REPORTS OF BLOCKED

924
00:23:53,703 --> 00:23:55,470
TRAIN CROSSINGS ACROSS THE

925
00:23:55,539 --> 00:23:56,971
NATION, WITH NEARLY 1,000

926
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,606
BLOCKED FOR MORE THAN A DAY.

927
00:23:58,675 --> 00:24:00,508
AND, THAT CAN MEAN PEOPLE WIND

928
00:24:00,577 --> 00:24:01,609
UP MAKING RISKY DECISIONS TO GET

929
00:24:01,678 --> 00:24:03,744
TO WORK -- OR EVEN TO SCHOOL.

930
00:24:03,813 --> 00:24:04,745
>> IT'S THE KIND OF MOMENT THAT

931
00:24:04,814 --> 00:24:06,514
TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY.

932
00:24:06,583 --> 00:24:07,748
A LITTLE GIRL IN A BRIGHT RED

933
00:24:07,817 --> 00:24:08,850
COAT.

934
00:24:08,919 --> 00:24:10,118
TINY ARMS AND LEGS, WIGGLING

935
00:24:10,187 --> 00:24:11,352
UNDERNEATH A TRAIN CAR THAT

936
00:24:11,421 --> 00:24:13,688
COULD MOVE AT ANY MOMENT.

937
00:24:13,757 --> 00:24:15,156
IT'S QUIET AS SHE DUSTS HERSELF

938
00:24:15,225 --> 00:24:17,225
OFF, CASUALLY PICKS UP HER

939
00:24:17,294 --> 00:24:18,459
BOOKBAG AND A DROPPED WATER

940
00:24:18,528 --> 00:24:21,262
BOTTLE, AND CARRIES ON.

941
00:24:21,331 --> 00:24:23,164
>> John: THAT'S TOUGH TO WATCH,

942
00:24:23,233 --> 00:24:25,233
BUT IT'S KIND OF NICE FOR THE

943
00:24:25,302 --> 00:24:26,200
YOUNGER GENERATION TO HAVE AN

944
00:24:26,269 --> 00:24:27,769
IMMEDIATE COUNTER WHENEVER THEIR

945
00:24:27,838 --> 00:24:28,369
OLDER RELATIVES COMPLAIN ABOUT

946
00:24:28,438 --> 00:24:29,170
HOW THEY USED TO WALK TO SCHOOL

947
00:24:29,239 --> 00:24:30,304
IN THE SNOW.

948
00:24:30,373 --> 00:24:31,806
"OH, WAS IT COLD, GRAMPA?

949
00:24:31,875 --> 00:24:33,207
DIDYA GET CHILLY?

950
00:24:33,276 --> 00:24:34,442
GUESS I WASN'T REALLY THINKING

951
00:24:34,511 --> 00:24:37,145
ABOUT THE WEATHER WHEN I WAS

952
00:24:37,214 --> 00:24:39,013
CRAWLING UNDER A TRAIN THAT

953
00:24:39,082 --> 00:24:40,448
COULD CRUSH MY TINY ARMS AND

954
00:24:40,517 --> 00:24:41,215
LEGS' TO GET TO HOMEROOM ON

955
00:24:41,284 --> 00:24:42,517
TIME."

956
00:24:42,586 --> 00:24:43,651
AND, WHILE THAT GIRL,

957
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,485
THANKFULLY, WAS OKAY, OTHERS

958
00:24:44,554 --> 00:24:50,925
HAVEN'T BEEN.

959
00:24:50,994 --> 00:24:51,461
PEDESTRIANS TRYING TO CUT

960
00:24:51,528 --> 00:24:52,827
THROUGH TRAINS HAVE BEEN

961
00:24:52,896 --> 00:24:54,162
DISFIGURED, DISMEMBERED AND

962
00:24:54,231 --> 00:24:55,363
KILLED, AFTER THE TRAINS

963
00:24:55,432 --> 00:24:56,697
SUDDENLY STARTED MOVING.

964
00:24:56,766 --> 00:24:57,331
ON TOP OF WHICH, BLOCKED TRAINS

965
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,032
CAN ALSO SERIOUSLY DELAY

966
00:24:58,101 --> 00:24:59,667
EMERGENCY SERVICES, LIKE FIRE

967
00:24:59,736 --> 00:25:00,601
ENGINES OR AMBULANCES, AS THIS

968
00:25:00,670 --> 00:25:02,103
OKLAHOMA MAN KNOWS ALL TOO WELL.

969
00:25:02,172 --> 00:25:03,070
>> I THINK IT'S GONNA TAKE A

970
00:25:03,139 --> 00:25:04,806
MAJOR TRAGEDY FOR THE RAILROAD

971
00:25:04,875 --> 00:25:06,574
COMPANY TO WAKE UP AND DECIDE

972
00:25:06,643 --> 00:25:08,142
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO

973
00:25:08,211 --> 00:25:09,610
SOMETHING.

974
00:25:09,679 --> 00:25:10,244
>> THAT WAS ABOUT SIX AND A HALF

975
00:25:10,313 --> 00:25:12,814
YEARS AGO.

976
00:25:12,883 --> 00:25:13,383
CHAD BYRD COMPLAINING ABOUT

977
00:25:13,450 --> 00:25:15,149
THESE TRACKS NEAR THEIR HOME.

978
00:25:15,218 --> 00:25:16,484
AND, AT THE TIME, SITTING ON THE

979
00:25:16,553 --> 00:25:17,552
ONLY CROSSING TO GET TO THEIR

980
00:25:17,621 --> 00:25:19,120
HOME.

981
00:25:19,189 --> 00:25:19,854
>> I THINK THE MAJOR CONCERN IS,

982
00:25:19,923 --> 00:25:21,322
IF SOMEBODY'S INJURED, TRYING TO

983
00:25:21,391 --> 00:25:23,191
GET AN AMBULANCE TO THAT SIDE.

984
00:25:23,260 --> 00:25:23,991
>> FAST FORWARD TO EARLY

985
00:25:24,060 --> 00:25:25,893
SEPTEMBER OF 2020.

986
00:25:25,962 --> 00:25:26,694
CHAD'S PREMONITIONS BECOMING

987
00:25:26,763 --> 00:25:27,962
REALITY.

988
00:25:28,031 --> 00:25:29,297
HIS FATHER, LARRY GENE BYRD,

989
00:25:29,366 --> 00:25:31,699
DYING FROM A HEART ATTACK, AND

990
00:25:31,768 --> 00:25:32,667
EMERGENCY VEHICLES WERE STUCK

991
00:25:32,736 --> 00:25:33,501
BEHIND A TRAIN ON THOSE SAME

992
00:25:33,570 --> 00:25:35,002
TRACKS.

993
00:25:35,071 --> 00:25:35,937
WHEN EMERGENCY CREWS ARRIVED,

994
00:25:36,006 --> 00:25:37,105
POLICE ASKED THE CONDUCTOR IF IT

995
00:25:37,174 --> 00:25:38,806
COULD BE MOVED.

996
00:25:38,875 --> 00:25:40,074
HE SAID NO.

997
00:25:40,143 --> 00:25:40,775
THE LAWSUIT ADDING THAT HE

998
00:25:40,844 --> 00:25:42,110
QUOTE, "CLOSED THE LOCOMOTIVE'S

999
00:25:42,179 --> 00:25:45,713
WINDOW AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO

1000
00:25:45,782 --> 00:25:47,381
ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS."

1001
00:25:47,450 --> 00:25:47,982
>> John: THAT'S AWFUL.

1002
00:25:48,051 --> 00:25:49,317
AND, WHILE IT'S NOT THE MOST

1003
00:25:49,386 --> 00:25:52,253
IMPORTANT THING, ARE WE ALL

1004
00:25:52,322 --> 00:25:52,789
ALLOWED TO JUST CLOSE OUR

1005
00:25:52,856 --> 00:25:53,855
WINDOWS AND NOT TALK TO COPS?

1006
00:25:53,924 --> 00:25:54,424
OR, IS THAT ONLY FOR TRAIN

1007
00:25:54,491 --> 00:25:55,723
CONDUCTORS?

1008
00:25:55,792 --> 00:25:56,691
BECAUSE IF SO, I WILL BUY ONE OF

1009
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,326
THOSE STUPID LITTLE HATS

1010
00:25:58,395 --> 00:25:59,827
TOMORROW.

1011
00:25:59,896 --> 00:26:00,895
BUT ALSO, I WOULDN'T CALL HIS

1012
00:26:00,964 --> 00:26:02,396
PREDICTION A "PREMONITION."

1013
00:26:02,465 --> 00:26:03,431
IT WAS AN EASILY FORESEEABLE

1014
00:26:03,500 --> 00:26:05,800
CONSEQUENCE OF POOR POLICY.

1015
00:26:05,869 --> 00:26:07,268
AND, THAT'S NOT A ONE-OFF: THERE

1016
00:26:07,337 --> 00:26:08,402
HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE SIMILAR

1017
00:26:08,471 --> 00:26:09,837
STORIES OF PEOPLE DYING AND

1018
00:26:09,906 --> 00:26:11,139
HOUSES BURNING DOWN AFTER

1019
00:26:11,208 --> 00:26:12,140
EMERGENCY VEHICLES WERE DELAYED

1020
00:26:12,209 --> 00:26:13,775
AT CROSSINGS.

1021
00:26:13,844 --> 00:26:15,643
BUT, LONGER STOPPED TRAINS ARE

1022
00:26:15,712 --> 00:26:16,611
JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE ISSUES

1023
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,714
WITH PSR.

1024
00:26:19,783 --> 00:26:20,348
THERE'S ALSO THE ISSUE OF WHAT

1025
00:26:20,417 --> 00:26:22,183
THE RELENTLESS DRIVE FOR SAVINGS

1026
00:26:22,252 --> 00:26:22,850
DOES TO WORKERS.

1027
00:26:22,919 --> 00:26:24,652
EVEN AS TRAINS GOT LONGER,

1028
00:26:24,721 --> 00:26:25,553
STAFFING HAS BEEN CUT TO

1029
00:26:25,622 --> 00:26:27,221
RIDICULOUSLY LOW LEVELS.

1030
00:26:27,290 --> 00:26:29,090
JUST WATCH AS A UNION LEADER

1031
00:26:29,159 --> 00:26:29,757
EXPLAINS TO A FLABBERGASTED NEWS

1032
00:26:29,826 --> 00:26:31,058
ANCHOR, RIGHT AFTER EAST

1033
00:26:31,127 --> 00:26:32,660
PALESTINE, JUST HOW LOW THESE

1034
00:26:32,729 --> 00:26:34,796
LEVELS HAD BECOME.

1035
00:26:34,865 --> 00:26:36,931
>> LOOK, IF YOU ADD MORE AND

1036
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:37,965
MORE CARS TO THESE TRAINS,

1037
00:26:38,034 --> 00:26:39,834
YOU'RE INTRODUCING MORE AND MORE

1038
00:26:39,903 --> 00:26:41,903
POINTS OF POTENTIAL FAILURE.

1039
00:26:41,972 --> 00:26:43,104
AND, THAT'S WHY IT'S REALLY

1040
00:26:43,173 --> 00:26:44,439
ALARMING THAT THE RAILROAD

1041
00:26:44,508 --> 00:26:46,174
INDUSTRY ACTUALLY WANTS TO CUT

1042
00:26:46,243 --> 00:26:48,276
BACK THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE

1043
00:26:48,345 --> 00:26:48,876
OPERATING ON A TRAIN FROM TWO,

1044
00:26:48,945 --> 00:26:49,677
AS IS THE CURRENT STANDARD, TO

1045
00:26:49,746 --> 00:26:50,611
ONE.

1046
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,046
>> I'M SORRY, HOLD ON.

1047
00:26:52,115 --> 00:26:53,181
ARE YOU SAYING THAT AS OF NOW, A

1048
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:55,016
TRAIN WITH 150 CARS AND THAT IS

1049
00:26:55,085 --> 00:26:57,118
CARRYING HAZARDOUS MATERIAL --

1050
00:26:57,187 --> 00:26:59,554
VINYL CHLORIDE, WHATEVER -- AS A

1051
00:26:59,623 --> 00:27:00,588
STANDARD, ONLY, -- ONLY HAS TWO

1052
00:27:00,657 --> 00:27:01,789
PEOPLE OPERATING IT?

1053
00:27:01,858 --> 00:27:04,225
JUST TWO FOR THAT ENTIRE TRAIN?

1054
00:27:04,294 --> 00:27:04,826
>> YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT.

1055
00:27:04,895 --> 00:27:06,260
ONE CONDUCTOR, ONE ENGINEER.

1056
00:27:06,329 --> 00:27:06,994
>> AND, THEY WANT TO CUT IT DOWN

1057
00:27:07,063 --> 00:27:08,129
TO ONE.

1058
00:27:08,198 --> 00:27:10,498
>> YES.

1059
00:27:10,567 --> 00:27:11,899
>> John: RIGHT, ONE PERSON.

1060
00:27:11,968 --> 00:27:13,034
WHICH IS ABSURD.

1061
00:27:13,103 --> 00:27:14,735
TRAINS NEED AN ENGINEER TO DRIVE

1062
00:27:14,804 --> 00:27:15,803
THE TRAIN AND A CONDUCTOR FOR

1063
00:27:15,872 --> 00:27:16,704
THE REST OF IT.

1064
00:27:16,773 --> 00:27:17,738
IT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE JOBS WHERE

1065
00:27:17,807 --> 00:27:19,774
WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE DO IT, EVEN

1066
00:27:19,843 --> 00:27:20,808
THOUGH IT CLEARLY ONLY REQUIRES

1067
00:27:20,877 --> 00:27:22,877
ONE, LIKE ANCHORING THE NEWS OR

1068
00:27:22,946 --> 00:27:24,412
RENOVATING A HOME, OR HOSTING

1069
00:27:24,481 --> 00:27:27,215
THE 2011 OSCARS.

1070
00:27:27,284 --> 00:27:28,583
AND, PEOPLE WHO WORK ON THESE

1071
00:27:28,652 --> 00:27:29,917
TRAINS WILL TELL YOU, EVERY PART

1072
00:27:29,986 --> 00:27:32,653
OF THEIR JOB IS EXHAUSTING NOW.

1073
00:27:32,722 --> 00:27:35,456
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN THERE IS A

1074
00:27:35,525 --> 00:27:37,291
MECHANICAL OR OTHER PROBLEM THAT

1075
00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:39,227
CAUSES A TRAIN TO STOP, THE

1076
00:27:39,296 --> 00:27:40,194
CONDUCTOR MAY HAVE TO WALK FROM

1077
00:27:40,263 --> 00:27:40,730
THE LEAD LOCOMOTIVE TO THE

1078
00:27:40,797 --> 00:27:42,396
PROBLEM AREA AND BACK AGAIN,

1079
00:27:42,465 --> 00:27:44,866
WHICH COULD MEAN WALKING 4 MILES

1080
00:27:44,935 --> 00:27:45,500
TO THE END AND BACK ON A 2-MILE

1081
00:27:45,569 --> 00:27:46,934
LONG TRAIN.

1082
00:27:47,003 --> 00:27:47,735
WORKERS ARE BEING STRETCHED SO

1083
00:27:47,804 --> 00:27:49,203
THIN THAT THEY'RE NOW WORKING

1084
00:27:49,272 --> 00:27:50,905
RIDICULOUS HOURS AND REQUIRED TO

1085
00:27:50,974 --> 00:27:51,973
BE ON CALL, FORCING THEM TO PICK

1086
00:27:52,042 --> 00:27:54,375
AND CHOOSE BETWEEN WORK AND

1087
00:27:54,444 --> 00:27:56,644
THEIR FAMILIES, AND EVEN MEDICAL

1088
00:27:56,713 --> 00:27:58,079
APPOINTMENTS.

1089
00:27:58,148 --> 00:27:59,413
UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN WORKERS

1090
00:27:59,482 --> 00:28:00,948
WANTED TO TAKE A SICK DAY AT

1091
00:28:01,017 --> 00:28:01,716
BNSF -- THE LARGEST FREIGHT

1092
00:28:01,785 --> 00:28:03,284
RAILROAD IN THE US -- THEY HAD

1093
00:28:03,353 --> 00:28:04,318
TO SCHEDULE THEM A MONTH IN

1094
00:28:04,387 --> 00:28:05,286
ADVANCE, AND ONLY FOR TUESDAY,

1095
00:28:05,355 --> 00:28:08,256
WEDNESDAY, OR THURSDAY.

1096
00:28:08,325 --> 00:28:09,357
AND, I DON'T KNOW HOW BNSF

1097
00:28:09,426 --> 00:28:11,025
THINKS ILLNESSES WORK, BUT THE

1098
00:28:11,094 --> 00:28:12,827
FLU DOESN'T HAVE A MICROSOFT

1099
00:28:12,896 --> 00:28:14,295
OUTLOOK CALENDAR WHERE YOU CAN

1100
00:28:14,364 --> 00:28:15,763
LOOK AT ITS SCHEDULE AND BOOK

1101
00:28:15,832 --> 00:28:17,064
YOUR INFECTION AT A TIME THAT

1102
00:28:17,133 --> 00:28:18,933
WORKS FOR BOTH OF YOU.

1103
00:28:19,002 --> 00:28:19,600
AND, WHILE BNSF CHANGED THAT

1104
00:28:19,669 --> 00:28:21,269
POLICY THIS FALL, IT'S STILL IN

1105
00:28:21,338 --> 00:28:24,038
EFFECT AT OTHER MAJOR RAILROADS.

1106
00:28:24,107 --> 00:28:25,807
A FORMER UNION HEAD SUMS UP THE

1107
00:28:25,876 --> 00:28:28,142
SITUATION LIKE THIS.

1108
00:28:28,211 --> 00:28:29,177
>> AS WE SAY, YOU EITHER GO TO

1109
00:28:29,246 --> 00:28:30,845
WORK SICK AND TIRED OR YOU GET

1110
00:28:30,914 --> 00:28:32,713
FIRED.

1111
00:28:32,782 --> 00:28:33,347
THAT'S REALLY WHAT THIS HAS COME

1112
00:28:33,416 --> 00:28:34,615
DOWN TO.

1113
00:28:34,684 --> 00:28:36,684
>> John: IT'S NEVER A GOOD SIGN

1114
00:28:36,753 --> 00:28:37,585
WHEN CONDITIONS ARE SO BLEAK,

1115
00:28:37,654 --> 00:28:39,086
YOU'VE COME UP WITH A CATCHY

1116
00:28:39,155 --> 00:28:40,721
LITTLE RHYME FOR IT.

1117
00:28:40,790 --> 00:28:41,589
ALSO, NO ONE SHOULD GET FIRED

1118
00:28:41,658 --> 00:28:44,125
FOR BEING SICK.

1119
00:28:44,194 --> 00:28:45,159
AS FAR AS PUNISHMENTS GO FOR NOT

1120
00:28:45,228 --> 00:28:46,494
BEING ABLE TO WORK ONE DAY, IT'S

1121
00:28:46,563 --> 00:28:47,995
RIGHT UP THERE WITH BEING

1122
00:28:48,064 --> 00:28:48,696
ENTOMBED IN THE TUNNEL OF

1123
00:28:48,765 --> 00:28:51,132
PUNISHMENT.

1124
00:28:51,201 --> 00:28:52,366
AND, HAVING SICK, TIRED WORKERS

1125
00:28:52,435 --> 00:28:54,302
IS BAD ACROSS THE BOARD, BUT IT

1126
00:28:54,371 --> 00:28:55,303
GETS MUCH WORSE WHEN YOU REALIZE

1127
00:28:55,372 --> 00:28:57,872
SOME OF THOSE WORKERS ARE THE

1128
00:28:57,941 --> 00:28:58,473
ONES WHO INSPECT THE TRAINS TO

1129
00:28:58,542 --> 00:29:00,975
KEEP THEM SAFE.

1130
00:29:01,044 --> 00:29:02,176
AND, THE TIME ALLOTTED FOR THAT

1131
00:29:02,245 --> 00:29:03,644
KEEPS SHRINKING.

1132
00:29:03,713 --> 00:29:05,780
ONE FORMER RAILROADER SAYS

1133
00:29:05,849 --> 00:29:07,648
NORFOLK SOUTHERN'S INSPECTORS

1134
00:29:07,717 --> 00:29:08,916
USED TO HAVE 5-8 MINUTES TO

1135
00:29:08,985 --> 00:29:10,551
CHECK A TRAIN CAR'S WHEELS FOR

1136
00:29:10,620 --> 00:29:12,153
PROBLEMS, LIKE LEAKY BEARINGS OR

1137
00:29:12,222 --> 00:29:14,455
DAMAGED COMPONENTS.

1138
00:29:14,524 --> 00:29:16,257
NOW, IT'S OFTEN BETWEEN

1139
00:29:16,326 --> 00:29:18,025
30-SECONDS AND A MINUTE.

1140
00:29:18,094 --> 00:29:18,659
AND, WORSE STILL, EMPLOYEES FEEL

1141
00:29:18,728 --> 00:29:20,294
LIKE THEY CAN'T SPEAK OUT, AS A

1142
00:29:20,363 --> 00:29:21,729
RESULT OF A PATTERN OF

1143
00:29:21,798 --> 00:29:23,131
RETALIATION AGAINST WORKERS WHO

1144
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:24,232
REPORT SAFETY VIOLATIONS OR

1145
00:29:24,301 --> 00:29:25,766
INJURIES.

1146
00:29:25,835 --> 00:29:26,567
ONE WHISTLEBLOWER EVEN SUED HIS

1147
00:29:26,636 --> 00:29:28,069
COMPANY, AND HAD SOME PRETTY

1148
00:29:28,138 --> 00:29:30,438
COMPELLING EVIDENCE ON HIS SIDE.

1149
00:29:30,507 --> 00:29:32,673
>> DON SANDERS, A FORMER BNSF

1150
00:29:32,742 --> 00:29:35,276
TRACK INSPECTOR IN MINNESOTA,

1151
00:29:35,345 --> 00:29:37,445
SECRETLY RECORDED CALLS WITH HIS

1152
00:29:37,514 --> 00:29:39,680
SUPERVISOR BACK IN 2015.

1153
00:29:39,749 --> 00:29:40,314
IN THIS RECORDING, OBTAINED BY 5

1154
00:29:40,383 --> 00:29:41,482
INVESTIGATES, YOU'LL HEAR WHAT

1155
00:29:41,551 --> 00:29:43,684
HAPPENED WHEN THE BOSS FOUND OUT

1156
00:29:43,753 --> 00:29:44,418
SANDERS CALLED THE FEDERAL

1157
00:29:44,487 --> 00:29:47,355
RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION.

1158
00:29:47,424 --> 00:29:49,123
>> WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD WE

1159
00:29:49,192 --> 00:29:52,260
EVER CALL FRA ABOUT ANYTHING?

1160
00:29:52,329 --> 00:29:53,461
UNLESS I'M ABSOLUTELY BLATANTLY

1161
00:29:53,530 --> 00:29:55,863
TELLING YOU TO BREAK RULES, OR

1162
00:29:55,932 --> 00:30:00,067
DON'T DO SOMETHING.

1163
00:30:00,136 --> 00:30:00,668
>> IS THAT AGAINST THE COMPANY

1164
00:30:00,737 --> 00:30:02,203
RULES?

1165
00:30:02,272 --> 00:30:03,638
>> IT'S NOT GOOD.

1166
00:30:03,707 --> 00:30:04,505
>> I CALLED HIM AND ASKED HIM A

1167
00:30:04,574 --> 00:30:05,573
QUESTION, KEITH.

1168
00:30:05,642 --> 00:30:06,541
I DON'T UNDERSTAND --

1169
00:30:06,610 --> 00:30:08,276
>> I DON'T WANT YOU DOING THAT.

1170
00:30:08,345 --> 00:30:08,745
>> John: YEAH, THAT'S

1171
00:30:08,812 --> 00:30:09,944
AUTOMATICALLY SUSPICIOUS.

1172
00:30:10,013 --> 00:30:10,711
IF YOU WORK AT A RESTAURANT AND

1173
00:30:10,780 --> 00:30:11,879
YOUR BOSS TELLS YOU THAT, UNDER

1174
00:30:11,948 --> 00:30:13,214
NO CIRCUMSTANCES, SHOULD YOU

1175
00:30:13,283 --> 00:30:14,449
EVER CALL THE HEALTH INSPECTOR,

1176
00:30:14,518 --> 00:30:16,017
BEST CASE SCENARIO: HE IS BEING

1177
00:30:16,086 --> 00:30:21,255
RATATOUILLED.

1178
00:30:21,324 --> 00:30:21,889
THAT INSPECTOR WAS LATER FIRED,

1179
00:30:21,958 --> 00:30:23,791
IN WHAT A JURY LATER AGREED WAS

1180
00:30:23,860 --> 00:30:24,926
RETALIATION FOR REPORTING TOO

1181
00:30:24,995 --> 00:30:26,961
MANY TRACK DEFECTS.

1182
00:30:27,030 --> 00:30:27,595
AND, ANOTHER RAIL WORKER SUMS IT

1183
00:30:27,664 --> 00:30:33,334
ALL UP LIKE THIS

1184
00:30:33,403 --> 00:30:34,035
>> THE RAILROAD, PROBABLY 100

1185
00:30:34,104 --> 00:30:35,069
YEARS AGO, CAME UP WITH SAFETY

1186
00:30:35,138 --> 00:30:36,671
FIRST.

1187
00:30:36,740 --> 00:30:37,872
WHEN PRECISION SCHEDULED

1188
00:30:37,941 --> 00:30:39,774
RAILROADING CAME OUT, THEY GAVE

1189
00:30:39,843 --> 00:30:40,741
US A LIST OF PRIORITIES THAT WE

1190
00:30:40,810 --> 00:30:42,310
WERE TO WORK BY.

1191
00:30:42,379 --> 00:30:44,412
SAFETY'S FOURTH.

1192
00:30:44,481 --> 00:30:45,146
>> John: HERE'S THE THING:

1193
00:30:45,215 --> 00:30:46,547
THAT'S TRUE!

1194
00:30:46,616 --> 00:30:48,049
SAFETY IS FOURTH!

1195
00:30:48,118 --> 00:30:49,851
HE'S NOT EMBELLISHING THERE.

1196
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:50,852
HUNTER HARRISON WOULD FREQUENTLY

1197
00:30:50,921 --> 00:30:52,053
RUN DOWN A NUMBERED LIST OF HIS

1198
00:30:52,122 --> 00:30:53,154
GUIDING PRINCIPLES, WHICH

1199
00:30:53,223 --> 00:30:54,655
STARTED WITH "SERVICE," THEN

1200
00:30:54,724 --> 00:30:55,890
"COST CONTROL," THEN "ASSET

1201
00:30:55,959 --> 00:30:57,125
UTILIZATION," AND THEN, AND ONLY

1202
00:30:57,194 --> 00:30:59,627
THEN, "SAFETY."

1203
00:30:59,696 --> 00:31:00,428
IT WAS LITERALLY FOURTH ON THE

1204
00:31:00,497 --> 00:31:03,164
LIST.

1205
00:31:03,233 --> 00:31:04,031
AND, ONCE YOU GET PAST THREE

1206
00:31:04,100 --> 00:31:05,266
ITEMS ON A PRIORITY LIST,

1207
00:31:05,335 --> 00:31:06,567
ANYTHING AFTER THAT ISN'T A

1208
00:31:06,636 --> 00:31:08,636
PRIORITY, BY DEFINITION.

1209
00:31:08,705 --> 00:31:09,570
IT'S LIKE RANKING YOUR FAVORITE

1210
00:31:09,639 --> 00:31:10,538
BEATLES: THERE ARE THREE YOU

1211
00:31:10,607 --> 00:31:12,507
CARE ABOUT, AND ONE AFTERTHOUGHT

1212
00:31:12,576 --> 00:31:13,174
WHO NARRATES SADISTIC CHILDREN'S

1213
00:31:13,243 --> 00:31:16,844
SHOWS ABOUT ABUSED TRAINS.

1214
00:31:16,913 --> 00:31:18,412
AND, AT ONE HEARING, WHEN

1215
00:31:18,481 --> 00:31:20,081
HARRISON WAS RUNNING THROUGH HIS

1216
00:31:20,150 --> 00:31:21,282
LIST AND EVENTUALLY GOT TO

1217
00:31:21,351 --> 00:31:23,651
"SAFETY," HE WOUND UP MAKING A

1218
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,553
PRETTY STRIKING CONFESSION.

1219
00:31:25,622 --> 00:31:31,058
>> THE FOURTH PORTION OF THIS --

1220
00:31:31,127 --> 00:31:32,994
IS WHICH WE SOMETIMES DON'T PAY

1221
00:31:33,063 --> 00:31:34,529
THE APPROPRIATE ATTENTION TO --

1222
00:31:34,598 --> 00:31:35,196
IS JUST SIMPLY DON'T GET ANYBODY

1223
00:31:35,265 --> 00:31:37,298
HURT WHILE YOU'RE DOING THIS.

1224
00:31:37,367 --> 00:31:37,999
NOW, WE CAN BE VERY

1225
00:31:38,068 --> 00:31:39,801
SOPHISTICATED, AND WE CAN TALK

1226
00:31:39,870 --> 00:31:42,270
ABOUT RISK MANAGEMENT AND LOSS

1227
00:31:42,339 --> 00:31:44,472
OF CONTROL AND PROGRAMS AND

1228
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:47,442
PROCESSES AND SO FORTH.

1229
00:31:47,511 --> 00:31:50,845
I GOT BLOOD ALL OVER MY HANDS

1230
00:31:50,914 --> 00:31:52,847
FROM INJURIES IN THIS INDUSTRY

1231
00:31:52,916 --> 00:31:55,950
THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN AVOIDABLE.

1232
00:31:56,019 --> 00:31:57,385
>> John: WOW.

1233
00:31:57,454 --> 00:31:58,286
I GOTTA SAY, AFTER 10 SEASONS OF

1234
00:31:58,355 --> 00:32:00,188
SHOWING YOU EXECUTIVES DENYING

1235
00:32:00,257 --> 00:32:01,889
THEIR NEGLECT, THAT'S ALMOST

1236
00:32:01,958 --> 00:32:03,424
REFRESHING.

1237
00:32:03,493 --> 00:32:04,459
IT'S THE KIND OF HONESTY YOU

1238
00:32:04,528 --> 00:32:06,127
ONLY USUALLY GET FROM A GUY LIKE

1239
00:32:06,196 --> 00:32:08,029
THAT AFTER HE'S BEEN VISITED BY

1240
00:32:08,098 --> 00:32:09,697
THE GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS.

1241
00:32:09,766 --> 00:32:11,032
AND LOOK: RAILWAY COMPANIES WILL

1242
00:32:11,101 --> 00:32:13,201
TELL YOU THAT SAFETY HAS ALWAYS

1243
00:32:13,270 --> 00:32:15,436
BEEN IMPORTANT TO THEM.

1244
00:32:15,505 --> 00:32:16,005
AND, THEY'LL POINT OUT THAT

1245
00:32:16,072 --> 00:32:16,904
DERAILMENTS HAVE FALLEN BY 44%

1246
00:32:16,973 --> 00:32:20,408
SINCE 2000.

1247
00:32:20,477 --> 00:32:22,076
WHICH IS TRUE, ALTHOUGH I'LL

1248
00:32:22,145 --> 00:32:22,677
POINT OUT THAT SOME OF THAT IS

1249
00:32:22,746 --> 00:32:24,278
BECAUSE WE'RE RUNNING FAR FEWER

1250
00:32:24,347 --> 00:32:25,379
TRAINS SINCE THEN.

1251
00:32:25,448 --> 00:32:27,081
ALSO, THE RATE OF DERAILMENTS

1252
00:32:27,150 --> 00:32:28,316
FOR LARGE RAILROADS HAS BEEN

1253
00:32:28,385 --> 00:32:29,717
CREEPING UP AGAIN IN RECENT

1254
00:32:29,786 --> 00:32:31,185
YEARS.

1255
00:32:31,254 --> 00:32:32,253
ONE RAILWAY VETERAN DESCRIBES A

1256
00:32:32,322 --> 00:32:33,888
MAJOR CRASH AS JUST A MATTER OF

1257
00:32:33,957 --> 00:32:35,590
TIME, FEARING "THERE'S GOING TO

1258
00:32:35,659 --> 00:32:37,058
BE A FREIGHT CAR THAT HASN'T

1259
00:32:37,127 --> 00:32:38,726
BEEN INSPECTED IN 90,000 MILES

1260
00:32:38,795 --> 00:32:40,495
THAT COMES OFF THE TRACK, AND

1261
00:32:40,564 --> 00:32:41,262
EITHER EXPLODES OR LEAKS

1262
00:32:41,331 --> 00:32:42,897
POISONOUS GAS OUT.

1263
00:32:42,966 --> 00:32:44,065
IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOMETHING

1264
00:32:44,134 --> 00:32:45,366
LIKE THAT, AND A LOT OF DEATHS,

1265
00:32:45,435 --> 00:32:47,168
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

1266
00:32:47,237 --> 00:32:49,003
EVERYBODY'S GOING TO CARE."

1267
00:32:49,072 --> 00:32:49,837
YOU'VE NOW HEARD THAT EXACT

1268
00:32:49,906 --> 00:32:51,739
SENTIMENT MULTIPLE TIMES IN THIS

1269
00:32:51,808 --> 00:32:57,578
PIECE, AND HE'S PROBABLY RIGHT.

1270
00:32:57,647 --> 00:32:59,714
THE SOLUTION HERE ISN'T TO TURN

1271
00:32:59,783 --> 00:33:01,249
AWAY FROM RAIL.

1272
00:33:01,318 --> 00:33:02,450
AGAIN, TRAINS ARE GOOD.

1273
00:33:02,519 --> 00:33:04,418
FOR ONE, THEY ARE STILL SAFER

1274
00:33:04,487 --> 00:33:05,987
THAN TRUCKING, AND AS WE'VE

1275
00:33:06,056 --> 00:33:12,894
ALREADY ESTABLISHED,

1276
00:33:12,963 --> 00:33:14,462
CHUGACHUGACHOOCHOO,

1277
00:33:14,531 --> 00:33:21,531
DINGDINGDING, TRAINS ARE FUN.

1278
00:33:22,472 --> 00:33:23,037
NOW, TO ENSURE THAT HAPPENS, WE

1279
00:33:23,106 --> 00:33:24,205
NEED TO EMPOWER THE FRA TO

1280
00:33:24,274 --> 00:33:24,774
ACTUALLY MONITOR TRAINS AND

1281
00:33:24,841 --> 00:33:25,373
CARGO IN REAL TIME, AND WHILE

1282
00:33:25,442 --> 00:33:25,909
WE'RE AT IT, GIVE THEM THE

1283
00:33:25,976 --> 00:33:26,507
ABILITY TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF

1284
00:33:26,576 --> 00:33:27,043
TIME THAT TRAINS CAN BLOCK

1285
00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:34,110
INTERSECTIONS.

1286
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,052
AND, FINALLY, CRUCIALLY, WORKERS

1287
00:33:38,121 --> 00:33:40,755
NEED A WAY TO CONFIDENTIALLY

1288
00:33:40,824 --> 00:33:41,756
REPORT SAFETY ISSUES TO

1289
00:33:41,825 --> 00:33:45,293
REGULATORS WITHOUT BEING AFRAID

1290
00:33:45,362 --> 00:33:48,896
OF RETALIATION.

1291
00:33:48,965 --> 00:33:49,530
UNTIL WE FIX ALL THIS, WE MIGHT
