What are the health risks associated with extreme heat during events?
Yesterday, we saw lots of EMS vehicles continuing to zoom by. Matt Rain was there. Others were there. Seeing what was taking place and people were falling to the ground. As Adam Parkamenko explains, CNN was talking about how there were all of these heat-related ailments. with the state fair yesterday for the small crowds that showed there were a lot of heat elements there were about seven people who were put on advanced life support let me repeat that seven people were placed on advanced life support 11 transported to hospitals 44 patients We're being treated with extreme heat exhaustion. Watch as Matt Ryan captured these EMS vehicles that were swooping by as people were falling down one after another.
And you had state regime media Fox saying, if you're a true patriot, if you really like Donald Trump, come out here in the heat box. Seriously, you know how many people you hurt and could have killed and how many people you could potentially be killing today with the heat while potentially this event may still go on tonight, this Donald Trump speech. If people show up at 5 p.m., 6 p.m., and they have to stay there for six hours, folks, this is very serious stuff. Watch what Matt Ryan posted here. Play this video.

I guess they're gonna run through. So there are some people running through with cold water to go help their loved ones in line. You see, look at, so people running here. Go ahead. No, you're good. You're good. Go ahead. Yep. So that's what I was referencing is there's a guy, a vet staff wearing a blue sort of collared shirt. These are the people who are in charge of sort of saving the people who have fainted and passed out in line. There's the paramedic situation. They only bring... They only bring... the ems truck over when someone has literally passed out but up until that point people are profusely sweating and need water and the people in charge of that are just the event staff the people who are running the security lines so there's over here i guess there's another ems truck over there paramedics coming through to help somebody another person who's passed out more
How did the extreme heat affect attendees at the event?
So it really is hectic. It's chaotic. It's a total disaster. They haven't planned for this at all.
Jeff Stein explains also, you know, with these 850,000 fireworks that are apparently set to go off in D.C., there has been a report that Donald Trump has basically quashed. He's deep-sixed it. But federal officials wrote this internal report detailing this internal analysis and warning that the air quality risks in D.C. between the heat and The limited proximity where they're going to be shooting these fireworks off, that the air quality is going to be so low. People should avoid prolonged exposure to pollution around the mall. The health effects could be deadly. It could be deeply serious. It's what I've been warning about, too, folks. When we talked about Donald Trump demolishing the East Wing of the White House, I'm like, there's asbestos everywhere.
