some of which are historic renovation specialists that were working someplace where they got to sit and watch these parks, these circles, and these squares get overtaken by homeless encampments, by people that are graffiti artists, and then have no support from the White House or the Secretary of Interior to actually go do their job and fix it.
I mean, the amount of pride and energy and positivity among these dedicated federal team members
I mean, they're over the moon, whether it's being able to enforce the law or being able to do the work to restore these statues.
I mean, it's really fun to see people energized because now that what they came to do, the purpose in their work, they're getting a chance to do it and make a difference for the people that live here and visit here.
Well, Vince, it's sort of crossed over from tragedy to comedy at some point when you've got the pro-algae protesters, you know, people dressed up like next to the reflecting pool.
The reflecting pool, you know, was built in 1922, the same time the Lincoln Memorial.
It's literally part of the Lincoln Memorial.
And so if somebody's using a box cutter to cut up the reflecting pool, it's really no different in the eyes of the law than if you came in and threw a bucket of red paint on Lincoln statue.
I mean, these are our national monuments.
They're protected.
And it is, you know, maybe it's overused, maybe not.
But on the Trump derangement syndrome of somehow you think you're helping America by attacking one of our
monuments and the reflecting pool is designed to reflect and what does it reflect Lincoln and Washington memorials so so are you are these people attacking America attacking Lincoln attacking Washington attacking our own country I'm not sure what's driving that but you know President Trump absolutely dedicated on the reflecting pool this thing was leaking 45,000 gallons a day it's a 2,000 foot long pool nearly a half a mile long it's got two and a half miles of
of expansion joints, the expansion joints were leaking and we've fixed it.
And now there's stories out about, oh, that this or that and the whole thing.
I mean, post fireworks, because a number of those 10 fireworks stations were right along the reflecting pool.
So every year after fireworks, even if it's a smaller show,
We got to drain the pool, get all the the fireworks debris out of the pool, you know, take a look at repairs.
But, you know, having, you know, it's in, it's working, it's the most beautiful it's ever been.
And now now as we're in there, it's about 99.7% of the of the surface is good.
