Jesse Watters: The government has been lying, hiding and stealing from you for years

Jesse Watters discusses how the government has been letting down the American people for years, and East Palestine, Ohio residents are the latest examples.

Jesse Watters highlights how the government has not been taking care of Americans for years and how its alleged negligence is on full-display after a toxic train derailment In East Palestine, Ohio on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

JESSE WATTERS: As I've always said, until they prove you otherwise, you just have to assume everyone's lying to you. Trust in this country is reaching a breaking point. You can't even trust the people who are supposed to protect you. And of course, I'm talking about the government. For years, the government's been lying, hiding and stealing from you. They lied about Afghanistan, the Patriot Act. They even lied about Pat Tillman.

They hid Hunter's laptop to put Joe in the White House. They shut down schools over COVID and then stole a bunch of pandemic relief for themselves. The people who are supposed to protect us are in it for themselves, but they at least used to act like they cared about the little guy. But when a toxic train wrecked in East Palestine, Ohio, they didn't even pretend to care. The Biden administration can't even find East Palestine on a map and the whole town feels forgotten, and they can't trust anyone.

Isn't that sad? A town being forced to live in a mushroom cloud is being told everything's okay. Meanwhile, kids are breaking out in hives. Pets are dropping dead, and rivers are full of chemicals and dead fish. But the people who should care, like Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, wouldn't even answer if he would drink the water.
