What explosive revelations came from the Senate hearings?
Loman loppuminen ja pakkaaminen voi tuntua ikävältä. Jopa niin ikävältä, että laukkujen kasaaminen oven eteen tuntuu hyvältä ajatukselta. Säärebori. Lomia, joiden et soisi loppuvan. Little. Little. Little. Little.
Wow, these hearings in the United States Senate during the government shutdown this week have been absolutely explosive. You had one hearing where Democratic senators were exposing that in the demolition of the White House East Wing, the construction workers may have been exposed to deadly asbestos. We'll talk about that. Then there was another hearing in what should have been a sleepy, senate commerce hearing on transportation nominees as dan diamond refers to it as but then it was uncovered that a mega republican senator bernie moreno was secretly spying on a democratic senator jackie rosen he was sneaking like right outside her car to get her vin number And Democratic Senator Jackie Rosen was like, were you spying on me?
You were looking at my VIN number. You went to my dashboard. Like, what the hell are you doing? And then there was even more than that. You had a hearing where a courageous officer, a Capitol Police officer, testified before the United States Senate. And then you had these MAGA Republican witnesses all say that the individual who beat and almost killed this Capitol Police officer deserve to be pardoned? And there's even more explosive data than that and details than that. So let me go through with you what went down. The first thing I want to show you is where you have Democratic Senator Markey He's questioning some of these witnesses at this hearing about apprenticeship programs that are offered by unions that the Trump regime is gutting.
And Senator Markey uses his time to ask these apprenticeship union leaders who help with these apprenticeship programs, You know, are you aware if there was any, uh, asbestos controls or steps taken at the east wing when they demolished it at the white house, because they use non-union workers. So as a result, I mean, we saw these smoke clouds outside of the east wing that look like what we normally see in very deadly and fatal asbestos exposures in the past. And we know asbestos was used in the east wing and in Donald Trump's rush to tear down the East Wing. What we may uncover in the future is that he exposed those workers who did not go through the steps that the safety precautions that take place in unions, because Trump went around the unions, that Trump may have exposed those workers to very deadly asbestos exposure, where those people may die early in the future.
Watch this questioning. And again, you haven't seen this in many other places. And hat tip to Dan Diamond for flagging it. Here, play this clip. LIUNA runs a world-class apprenticeship program that includes training on asbestos abatement. Many old buildings were constructed and renovated when asbestos-laden products were industry standard, including the White House. Are you aware of any permits or other indications that the White House, that President Trump took any of the appropriate safety steps when Trump demolished the East Wing of the White House to protect against asbestos exposure?
I'm not aware of anything that they would have done to protect. So the White House could have exposed workers and passes by to deadly asbestos.
How did the demolition of the White House East Wing lead to asbestos concerns?
Is that your view? They could have. And I can tell you, had it been a union workforce, we would have access to that. This administration chose to use a non-union workforce to go do that on a union project. One of the first things we teach in our apprenticeship is to have your brother or your sisters back. And if you see something, you say something. If something's unsafe, you can stop that work. This isn't a union job site, so we have no access to it. So I don't know what's going on out there.
No, thank you. And those safety standards, they exist for a reason. It's to protect workers. It's to protect innocent people who may be nearby, even working in the White House, from exposure to asbestos. And those standards just don't disappear on the whim of President Trump.
