What was said

"Why aren't you in America? He's like, "Well, we actually did try to, but we started in 2019 or 20, like right before COVID, and it it was a false start, so we just haven't we just haven't made it here.""

Shaan Puri says Mark Gerson told him United Hatzalah tried to establish an operation in the US around 2019–2020, but the effort became a “false start” during the Covid period. Puri quotes Gerson as arguing the volunteer-first response model “could work in virtually every city in America”, and possibly in rural areas, citing the gap between emergency onset and ambulance arrival times.
