That's kaC haVa d. com code News Donald Trump has gone silent after his disastrous fourourth of July event where he has now turned Washington DC into a literal toxic pit. Of course, Donald Trump's destruction of the United States of America's democracy turned it into a toxic pit, but quite literally, the air quality is so bad right now in Washington DC following that. fireworks display where there was so many fireworks in the same location. You couldn't even see the fireworks. All you saw was a cloud of smoke And as everybody warned, this was going to put very dangerous chemicals into the air. Let's take a look at what's happening in Washington, DC right now. Hazardous firework induced smog continues to hover over Washington DC this morning. avoid doors if you can. the air is so filled with microscopic particles that it is potentially very, very harmful for people who breathe it in And so while it is slightly cooler today than it was yesterday, DC right now quite literally has the worst air quality of any city on planet Earth right now. That's how bad it is. It's the highest alert code right now for dangerous air quality as a result of what Donald Trump did. You know, his last post was again attacking the United States and this was his last message on july fourth Over two hundred and seventy three Americans have been shot since the Iran warar began in Chicago. You mean since you did an unlawful and catastrophic invasion of Iran and then you destroyed the American economy. You know also, Donald, you don't have to invade cities with IS and border patrol You know, if you want to, you can fund the FBI rather than, you know, firing all the FBI agents because you're afraid that they're part of the deep state that's out to get you. In any event, just take a look at some more of these photos of what the air quality looks like in Washington, DC. It's still covered by smoke. I mean it just looks like You know, just a massive amount of smog Here's another image right here, Hazardous smog choking Washington, D C residents. Residents are urged to stay indoors after Trump's fireworks display, just so you can see for yourself what those fireworks look like You know, normally, a great fireworks show isn't always measured in its size, although, you know, you can say, you know, a large firework show can be very compelling. But usually a fireworks show has, you know, a rhythm, a pattern, you know, it builds to this crescendo, right? You know, the Trump fireworks show was literally just dumping a bunch of fireworks all at the same time and just blowing things up But isn't that also kind of just symbolic of this entire Trump regime? Just blowing things up, saying, o, we're gonna to set the Guinness Book of Reords, but then actually making something look so ugly and dangerous and then ignoring all of the consequences. so Tiny man needs to do something like this. And again, I've seen big firework shows internationally in Manhattan. like it could look really cool. not this in my opinion. Take a look at what this looked like. What the literal F here play this clip. Now, even the MAGa supporters are like, What's going on. Here are some like MAGa supporters of Donald Trump spent an hour and a half in a line barely moveved we left, extremely disappointed. Logistics were terrible. The fair was one of the main things I wanted to do while here. Instead, I and many others just stood in a line, terrible. You rotten mother Fs My family and I have been in line for two hours. This is absolutely unacceptable Another person says, If you cared about safety, you'd exhibit better event planning and execution. Much of what I observe was entirely predictable. I presume you have little better than interns running your Cs and contingency planning. Yesterday was disgraceful, with basic heat safety measures completely overlooked. Who made the call to lock people out of the state fair yesterday Removing access to water and coolant centes. Donald Trump His whole life, Donald Trump He destroys things, he bankrupts things. This is what he's done since the nineteen seventies. frrankly, before that, Why do you think his dad needed to send him, you know to the military boarding school that he had to attend? he did it for disciplinary reasons. All the guy knows, I mean, I'm sure there are good ones and good reasons to go, but he went for disciplinary reasons. His whole life has been breaking things, destroying things, bankrupting, that's who he is. He's not a builder, he's a destroyer Joe Flood posted this image. Everything around the reflecting pool is covered in a fine layer of ash. Who knows? Maybe the ash will kill off the algae. He also posted the following. Workers are in the reflecting pool this morning, now removing the debris and ash from the fireworks. Also you can still see it looks green. as Scott McFarlan, who runs the Washington DC Bureau for the Mightas Touch Network says The morning after as we showed you last night, the speech that Donald Trump gave was relatively empty. Yeah maybe a thousand two thousand people, you know, of the die hard MAGas who follow him around everywhere were there. You know as people like this, like, you know, dressed up with the red white and blue hair and the MAaga Trump everything and the Trump tattoos And these people follow Donald Trump around wherever he goes, But there was Massive empty areas, empty seats everywhere. Trump's speech was low energy. He was falling asleep in that makeshift trailer building that they were, you know, having him and Rubio and all of these people as he was like watching himself watch himself on state regime media, Fx. there were You know, close to a hundred hospital related incidents that were taking place that we know about. It could possibly be more. you know, And then as I talked about this morning, one of the things that Donald Trump was absolutely terrified of is you contrasted what was going on in Washington, DC to what was happening at the same time in Tehran. I mean, just think about it Ayattolla Comeeni's funeral was taking place on july fourth, you had dozens and dozens of countries show up to Komini's funeral. You had millions of people show up for the Ayatolla's funeral in Tehran and in cities across Iran. and you had something projecting over there in Iran That was, you know, very different than what you saw in Washington DC. And I think you know Iran was aware of that and they, you know showcased it as well, you know and highlighted it while Donald Trump was out there, you know, polluting the United States with that bizarre kind of fireworks. I'll show you what they were saying on state regime media Fox just so you see how their propaganda works, you know, All the hosts after that fireworks show that I just showed you there. And I mean, I guess, you know, there's a lot of fireworks. It was dangerous, you know in the sense of concentrating all of that. It was loud. But this is not the way you run a fireworks. L a cool one, as I mentioned, has rhythms, patterns, you know, these fireworks go first, then these ones go first, then the sizzling ones go. and then you know they then they have the different They just pop,,. You know, it's my little daughter, Himenisays, who's twenty months, pop, pop, pop, popp in, pop. That's what it was like And so state regime was like, Oh my God, did you see that? That was the greatest firework show ever. It broke the Guinness book of Reords I didn't really see a lot of it because a lot of it was covered in smoke and I didn't get to see. This is what they were saying on state regime media. Let's play it. ness We witness the largest fireworks display in the United States history. It's a new that it broke the Guinness broke of World Records for eight hundred fifty one thousand fireworks. It was all the way around This entire place. Yeah You could see it for blocks. It was unbelievable. You know, what's so amazing about this There's one part of the story. You spoke to President Trump, I spoke to President Trump timeime we're being told, Oh, it might rain until two three He said to me, I don't care if it's two AM. I don't care if it's four AM And I'm thinking, you're still gonna to come. And God, I have a phrase that I use I tell him all the time I said God loves Donald Trump because it worked out. God bless America. And then Donald Trump sent out his propagandists like Doug Bergham, his interior secretary, who just got sliced and diced on the morning shows and just shows How pathetic and weak this regime actually looks. Watch Dana Bash asking Doug Bergam a very question, very basic question about the bottom of the reflecting pool. like we all saw that because they poured hydrogen peroxide in the reflecting pool after it was infested by more algae than I think in anybody's worst case predictions what it was going to look like, it started to peel off and it started to form, I called it like the stingray mutant U like u like algae pool lining looking Looking creatures. That's what happened. And then watch what Doug Bergham says though, though it didn't peel off It was vandalized. It was the vandals here playing this clip. half miles have expanded. But it peeled off. Wh? Why did that happen? J? It didn't peel off. There was was there was vandalism, there was box box cutters there' have been seven arrests. There was people literally trying to destroy part of a monument. The reflecting pool is not just a pool on the mall, it is part of the Lincoln Memorial. And if anybody says that they're going to go and vandalize that, it's no different than if some was throwing And you're one hundred percent sure that what happened with the liner was vandalism. You can prove it Yeah, absolutely, can. And as we drain it, and we've got all the photographs, we can see. I mean, there's no possible way photographs of a person or people Cutting a three hundred or three hundred and fifty foot gash in the bottom of the reflecting pool? Dana, I'm not sure why you and others in the media think that you want to keep trying to question whether or not think This is an industrial liner. Every farmer and rancher in America that's had their pickup liner lined by this sprayed on liner knows that you literally literally it would never just like peel off or fall off. This is like a strong material And it's the size of eight football fields And the only way you can end up with actual slices in one spot and not the other is that someone physically cut it And so the but the pool itself, it's not leaking. It was leaking forty five thousand gallons a day. It's finally been fixed by President Trump And the American flag Blue is working perfectly. and again, it's beyond me. why I mean, the real scandal is about the fact that the state of our capitol was in such total disrepair that some people no one was reporting about was reporting about the pro Hamas graffiti on mister Secretary, you and I talked about this last month. a res Well, because it was july fourth and the reflecting pole was closed. It was closed because it's surrounded by firewor. It's closed every year on the fourth of July. It was closed prior to that in order to fix the reflecting But I do clos because f the largest fireworks display in the country we talked about was set up And it les either side of the reflecting pool. You can't have people look around fireworks when they're being set up Now that the fire just want to add down The fence will come down. the fence was there because of the fireworks. Copy that And then George Stephanopouolis got his opportunity to cross examine Bergam right here. when Bergham's like The reflecting pool was a huge success. stepping up, it's like,, why are you draining it if it was a huge success And then Bergen was like, ninety nine percent of the pool bottom is perfect. Okay, Well, if ninety nine point nine percent of it is perfect, then what are you saying you're just contradicting yourself. So three hundred and fifty foot of the lining was destroyed, but ninety nine percent of it is perfect. and it was just around just making up the stupidest stuff here play this clip. So the reflecting pool has been a big success. and we've got a very three hundred forty million people in this country that are celebrating two hundred fifty We did have a few vandals, but all that's going to be repairable and that'll all be fixed in the coming weeks as we go forward. Well, you say it's been a success, but the pool is going to be drained this week isn't it? We don't know if we need to drain the whole thing or not because you know, the cutting happened on the edge. and of course, it slopes from the edge. It's not a flat bottom pool. It slopes from the edge to the middle. And so we may be able to partially drain it and do the repair to be able to fix it. We may not have to drain the whole thing, but it can go it could go very quickly. And of course, again when you're talking about three hundred forty thousand square feet of surface, even though there was you know damage done by vandals that was there. It is a small small ninety nine point nine nine percent of the pool bottom is perfect. The leaks have stopped And so this will be quickly move on. And again, I think the I think the press should move on too because we've got great things going on. This is the kickoff of our two hundred fiftieth year. We're going to continue to have celebrations around the country. And and you know, the real the real story here is how did we let this nation's capital fall into such disrepair where we had Stehanopouolis then continued to grill Bergam and say, you know, the president repeatedly claimed Vandals cut it. Do you have video of that? I don't have video of it, but if they were to do it again, we would have video of it. Watch what he says hereplay this clip. that Vandals cost the damage? The president has re repeatedly claimed that Vandals cut a three hundred fifty foot gash in the pool. That's a claim that's equoered an aillegal filing by your department. What specific evidence do you have to back up that claim Well, we have the actual cuts that were made into the industrial liner and and and that's a, you know, been measured out. so that's just a fact that's that's what there's three hundred fifty foot gash Well, it's multiple gashes that add up to three hundred and fifty feet across that. And so and again, some of this happened early on. there was a where we've installed more cameras. I mean, we weren't expecting that we were going to have a small group of people that wanted to try to destroy effectively what is part of the Lincoln Memorial There's plenty of cameras around the Lincoln Statute and around the memorial. The reflecting pool had gone for you know, decades without vandalism. But now we've got, you know, we've got cameras up and we've got more eyes on it. And well you know, we have to that's part of the job of the National Park Service and the US Park Police is to protect our monuments. and so're we're in better shape now. If anyone were to do something now, we would have better video evidence of that. But you don't but you don't have video evidence of people making those gashes Well, do we do have video and we do have eyewitness reports and that's up to the courts now. So that process will go forward in the legal system How much more is this going to cost I think it's going to be a small number because the majority of the work was related to the labor and the materials for the liner. And of course, the new nanobubbler system, which is taken care of and won the battle against the algae, which is something in a You know in a shallow pool in hot weather has been a historic challenge, but now that's working fantastically to if you're down there today. again, as the fireworks get cleaned up from the incredible show we had last night, spectacular event celebrating our two fiftieth, as the fences come down, we clean that up. Anybody that's there and anybody that was there last week before the fireworks started being installed on either side of the the reflecting pool could see that it was the water was crystal clear. So that part's been taken care of. So again, we are on to the next thing because this has all been done so well. Mr. Checreary, thanks for your time this morning Thank you, George. Next, John Carl with more of Dainid Bash cross examining. Let's play it, but not a change. How much is it going to cost to fix? And are you going use the same company that you did in the no bid contract or were you open it up to new bids? We'll use the same company because they did a fantastic job. I mean, even with this damage of the gash that we're talking about You're talking about again, this is a The size of eight b fields. It it is eight acres and we're talking about like zero point zero zero one percent. Thankfully, the vandalism was small. It was It was bad. I mean, it could be cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. so then it could fall into a fely felony thing, just like damaging any other government property could. It is a that, you know, this is that the job that was done to fix the the reflecting pool was done extremely well. and hopefully we can move on to this and just talk about, you know how we continue to do things like takeake care of this is a deferred maintenance problem. We have deferred maintenance. And then on state regime media, which calls itself Fox, they figured, you know what Let's bring on Benjamin Net and Yahoo to the way. So Benjamin just so we know, in the past forty eight hours, there have been more violations of the ceasefire, the MOU. I mean, take a look right here. Netanyahu and the Israeli forces demolished an entire neighborhood at Ben Jibil in the Al Dwar neighborhood in southern Lebanon, M attacks on Lebanon this morning and Israeli airirstrike targeted the town of Kun Nine in Southern Lebanon, another violation of the MOU. I mean, Netanyahu clearly wants the United States to be dragged back into this war so our economy can be further destroyed and more people can die to quench Netanyahu's bloodthirst apparently. Also Netanyahu announced that they will not be abiding by the Supreme Court ruling in Israel There was a Supreme Court ruling that basically said that, know Netanyahu was trying to stop their media entity regulation body from doing its job. And then the Supreme Court said, No, you have to let them do their job. Very similar to how Trump is like defunded and tried to stop all of these regulatory entities. And the Supreme Court said, in Israel, that's illegal. and Netanyahu said, Well, I'm not following what this Supreme Court is doing right here. But in any event, the Netanyahu went on state regime media Fx after violating the ceasefires, after pulling America back into war, after violating Supreme courourt orders. and he says, we are not in a permanent state of war. Me and Donald Trump do multiple peace deals. Me and Donald, we're the peace presidents. We do peace everywhere. hereere play this clip we're not in a permanent state of war. I myself with President Trump We brought the forth Four peace deals That's what we did. Abrahamcords, and I believe with The weakening of Iran which has been achieved by our common action common military action, I think we're going get more goes because countries would like to align with us and to protect their future And also their prosperity. Israel is a powerhouse, I mean, it It's an engine of innovation of AI of quantum of Okay. Just of everything. And then he says, everybody, all these countries in the Middle East want me to annex them They ask the Lbon the Lebanon Christians say, Mr. Netanyahu, can you annex us and take us over So that's why I do it. Theyre asking me to take them over. You play this squ. We also take care of our friends, especially the Christians in the Middle East Christian villages in Lebanon Some of them have actually asked to be an next to Israel because we protect them against the Heizbollah H bala is fanatics who want to kill them. And we do the same things with Christians everywhere. Well.'re're leading Christians in the Middleast. You're touching on. Ridiculous.
