That's the front door, if you will, as you're coming across the Potomac, and you're gonna be shocked at how beautiful these statues are.
19 feet high, those equestrian statues are.
Well, it was, and when I talk about these 150 homeless encampments, most of those were on public spaces in either the circles, the squares, the parks, or as you say, Union Station was basically, if someone arrived in our city, flew to New York, came by train to our capital from around the world their first time, they basically got off the train into a homeless encampment inside the station.
You know, partnering with our great Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, who's got responsibility for Union Station, we've got the National Park Service Interior outside in Columbus Circle.
But Columbus Circle, that was a Hamas-covered, pro-Hamas graffiti site, and it was basically a homeless camp surrounded by a protest camp.
And that was what you saw when you came in.
And that entire thing has been restored.
The fountain is flowing.
That was 1912.
That was over 115 years ago, that Columbus statue.
It's Carrara marble, Vince.
It's the same material that's in the Trevi Fountain in Rome.
And nobody knew that.
We've had congressmen say, I didn't know it was a fountain.
They've been here for 20 years.
Yes.
So again, but this was, again, President Trump setting this high bar, as you say, pride in our country, pride in our Capitol, the fact that we can have safe and beautiful spaces for people to live.
And President Trump is doing this in a city which is 95% registered Democrats.
okay this is this when i go back it's leadership that matters it's commitment and i should also point out people say where's the money coming from during this first administration president trump pushed for and got signed the great american outdoors act which was the greatest bill ever for doing deferred maintenance on our national parks and all of this the national mall the circles like yesterday we rededicated logan circle
you know completely restoring it earlier this year dupont circle those are all national park lands president trump's action in his first term is helping provide the funding to allow us to go out and get it done and you want to talk about a rejuvenated group how about the national park
