John's Church, if you remember, where President Trump held the Bible up right there.

And right here we found suitcases full of projectiles.

All of this was blocked off at the time, not blocked off like this, but I mean, huge 10 foot high barricades that had been plastered in Marxist stuff and BLM stuff.

that kind of thing i mean it was it was really really ugly and horrible a terrible time in this city's history and of course the white house is through there speed up a little bit here show you and the performative sense you know they put the blm

stuff up in the road here the bricks and they spelled it out on the road on 16th street right here it's now been taken down and uh then they used to also call this uh after the uh the journalist who was murdered and by the saudis i guess it was a long time for a long time

You would not want to go to this park.

You would not want to walk through it.

This is very, very recent.

I wouldn't say this administration recent, but the last maybe year or two that they've really tidied this up.

I mean, this was basically a homeless encampment at one point and it wasn't safe.

Even as a bloke, you didn't necessarily feel safe walking through here.

But credit where it's due.

And Bowser does get, Mayor Bowser does get some credit here.

she has cleaned up some of these areas the park over there down that side as well outside the washington post building completely cleaned up completely you know she kicked the homeless out of that park tidied it all up and in fairness to her the metro as well the dc metro now is nothing like it used to be one day i'll do a video down there for you as well make sure you're subscribed to this channel by the way because trying to get

youtube and google to help me build this help me reach more of you so if you subscribe that really helps the process and of course sharing the video leaving a comment all of those things kind of kick kick the algorithm into gear i'm not being funny i'm really not trying to overstate case here but i just can't believe how much cleaner and tidier and safer it feels around here now

you know, slap bang in the middle of downtown.

It used to be really quite gross.

So one of the highlights, I think, of the year was flying over to London and attending the Reform Party conference in the United Kingdom.

That's Nigel Farage's party, populist right wing party that is topping and has topped, I think, over 150

polls in a row.
