Trump GOES SILENT as DC TURNS into TOXIC DUMP!!

Donald Trump has gone silent after his. disastrous Fourth 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. outdoors 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 4th. Over 273 Americans. have been shot since the Iran war began. in Chicago. You mean since you did an. unlawful and catastrophic invasion of. Iran and then you uh destroyed the. American economy? You know, also, Donald, you don't have to invade cities. with ICE 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. Uh, in 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 uh image right. here. hazardous smog choking Washington. DC residents. Residents are urged to. stay indoors after Trump's uh fireworks.

display ju just so you can see for. yourself what those fireworks looked. like. You know, normally a great. firework 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. firework show has, you know, a rhythm, a. pattern. You know, it 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, "Oh, we're going to set the Guinness Book of. Records," but then actually making. something look so ugly and dangerous and. then ignoring all of the consequences. And so a tiny man needs to do something. like this. And again, I've seen big. fireworks shows internationally in. Manhattan. Like it could look really. cool. Not not this in my opinion. Take a.

look at what this look 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. Um, spent an hour and a half in a line, barely moved. 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 2. 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 comms 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 cooling centers? Donald Trump. His whole life. Donald Trump. He. destroys things. He bankrupts things. This is what he's done since the 1970s. Frankly, before that, well, why do you. think his dad needed to send him, you. know, to the military boarding school. that he had had to attend, he did it for. disciplinary reason? 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, uh, bankrupting. That's that's 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. Um, 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 uh Scott McFarland who. runs the Washington DC bureau for the. mightest touch network says uh the. morning after as we showed you last. night uh the speech that Donald Trump. gave was relatively empty maybe a. thousand 2,000 people you know of the. diehard MAGAS who follow him around. everywhere were there you know it was. people like this like you know dressed. up with the red white and blue hair and. the MAGA Trump everything and the Trump. tattoos you know these people follow.

Donald Trump around wherever he goes but. there. massive empty areas, empty seats. everywhere. Trump's speech was low. energy. He was falling asleep in that. makeshift uh 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 Fox. Um there were, you. know, close to a hundred hospital. related incidents that were taking that. we know about. It could possibly be. more. Um, 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 Tyrron. I. mean, just think about it. Ayatollah. Kmeni's funeral was taking place on July. 4th. You had dozens and dozens of. countries show up to Kmeni's funeral. You had millions of people show up uh. for uh the Ayatollah's funeral in Tyrron. 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 and and highlighted it. while Donald Trump was out there you. know polluting uh the United States with. that bizarre kind of fireworks. I 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 in the sense of concentrating all of. that. It was loud. Um, but you that's. not the way you run a fireworks. Like a. 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 difficult. they just pop, [laughter] you know, you. know, as as my little daughter Himemena. says, who's 20 months pop in. That's.

what it was like. And and so state. regime media was like, "Oh my god, did. you see that? That was the greatest. firework show ever. It broke the. Guinness Book of Records." I I I didn't. really see a lot of it because a lot of. it was covered in smoke. I I didn't get. to see This is what they were saying on. state regime media. Let's play it. >> Wow. >> Oh my god. THAT WAS LIKE OH MY GOODNESS.

>> We have just witnessed the largest. fireworks display in the United States. history. It's a new record that it broke. the Guinness Book of World Records for. 851,000. fireworks. It was all the way around. this entire place. >> I You could see it for blocks. >> It was unbeliev 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 at the time we're being told, "Oh, it might rain until two." He said to me, "I don't care if it's 2:00 a.m. I don't. care if it's 4:00 a.m." And I'm. thinking, [music]. "You're still going to come.". >> And go I I have a phrase that I use in. the I tell him all the time. I said, "God loves Donald Trump." Because. [laughter] it worked out perfect. >> God bless America. And then Donald Trump. sent out his propagandists like Doug. Bergam, 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. 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 these stingray mutant uh.

like uh like algae pool lining looking. looking creatures. That's what happened. And then watch what Doug Bergam says. though. It didn't peel off. It was. vandalized. It was the vandals here. play this clip. >> Half miles of expansion, >> but it peeled off. Why? Why did that. happen? Do you know? >> It didn't It didn't peel off. There was. There was There was vandalism. There was. box box cutters. There have been seven. arrests. Uh there was people literally. trying to uh 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 it's no different than if. someone was throwing paint. >> And you're 100% sure that what happened. with the liner was vandalism. You can. prove it. >> Oh yeah, absolutely you can. And we and. and as we drain it and we've got all the. photographs, we can see I mean there's. there's no possible way. >> The photographs of a person or people. cutting a 300 or 350 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 thing. 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. [clears throat] 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 45,000 gallons a. day. It's finally been fixed by.

President Trump. uh and the the American. flag blue is working perfectly and and. and again it be it's beyond me why I. mean the real scandal is about the fact. that that the state of our capital was. in such total disrepair that some people. no one was reporting about was reporting. about the pro- Hamas graffiti on the the. >> Mr. Secretary you and I talked about. this last month as a res well because. it's it was July 4th and the reflecting.

poll was closed closed because it's. surrounded by fireworks. It's closed. every year on the 4th of July. >> But it was closed prior to that in order. to fix the the reflecting pool. But. >> it's closed because the fire the largest. fireworks display in the country we talk. about was set up and it lines either. side of the reflecting pool. You can't. have people around fireworks when. they're being set up. Now that the. fireworks come down, the the fence will. come down. The fence was there because. of the fireworks. >> Copy that. And then George. Stephanopoulos got his opportunity to. cross-examine Bergam right here when.

Bergam's like, "The reflecting pool was. a huge success." And Stephanopoulos. like, "Okay, then why are you draining. it if it was a huge success?" And then. Bergam was like, "9% of the pool bottom. is perfect." Okay, well, if 99.9%. of it is perfect, then what are you. saying? You're just contradicting. yourself. So 350 foot of the lining was. destroyed, but 99% of it is perfect and. it was just around what? They're just. making up the stupidest stuff here. Play. this clip. >> So the reflecting pool has been a big. success. And uh we've got a very the 340.

million people in this country that are. celebrating 250. Uh we did have a few. vandals. Uh but all that's going to be. repairable and that'll all be fixed in. the 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? Uh we don't know if we need to drain the. whole thing or not because uh 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 uh and do the.

repair uh the uh 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 340,000. square ft of surface, uh even though. there there was uh you know, damage done. by vandals that was there, it is a small. small 99.99%. of the pool bottom is perfect, uh the. leaks have stopped. Uh and so this will. be quickly move on. And again, I 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 250th year. We're going to continue to have. celebrations around the country. Uh and. and you know, the re the real the real. story here is how did we let this. nation's capital fall into such. disrepair uh where we had Stephanopoulos. then continued to grill Bergam and say, you know, the president repeatedly claim. vandals cut it. Do do you have video of. that? I don't have video of it, but but. if they were to do it again, we would. have video of it. Watch what he says.

here. Play this clip. >> That vandals caused the damage. The. president has repeat repeatedly claimed. that vandals cut a 350 ft gash in the. pool. That's a claim that's echoed in a. illegal filing by your department. What. specific evidence do you have to back up. that claim? >> Uh well, we have the the actual cuts. that were made uh into the industrial. liner uh and and and that's a uh you. know been measured out. So that's just a. fact that that's that's what. >> 350T gash. Well, it's multiple gashes that add up.

to 350 ft uh across that. And so, and. again, some of this happened uh uh early. on. There was a where we've installed. more cameras. I mean, we weren't. expecting uh that we were going to have. a small group of people that wanted to. try to uh destroy uh effectively what is. part of the Lincoln Memorial. There's. plenty of cameras around the Lincoln. statue and around the memorial. the. reflecting pool had gone for, you know, decades without vandalism. Uh, but now.

we've got, you know, we've got cameras. up and we've got more eyes on it and. we'll, 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 and so we're we're in. better shape now. Uh, if anyone were to. do something now, we would have better. video evidence of that happening. >> But you don't but you don't have video. evidence of people making those gashes. Well, we do we do have video and we do. have eyewitness reports and that's. that's up to the courts now. Uh so that. that process will go forward uh in the.

legal system. >> How much more is this going to cost? >> Uh I think it's the it's going to be a. small number because the majority of the. work was related to the uh the labor and. the materials for the liner. Uh and of. course the new nanobubbler system which. is uh taken care of and uh won the. battle against the algae which is. something in a you know in a in a. shallow pool in hot weather uh has been. has been a historic challenge. But now. that's working uh fantastically to if. you're down there today again as as the.

fireworks get cleaned up from the. incredible show we had last night. spectacular uh event celebrating our. 250th. 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 uh 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 we are uh you. know on to the next thing uh because. this has all been done so well.

>> Mr. Secretary, thanks for your time this. morning. >> Thank you, George. >> Up next, John Carl with a. >> more of Dana Bash cross-examining. Let's. play it. >> But not a chance. How much is it going. to cost to fix? And are you going to use. the same company that you did in the no. bid contract or will you open it up to. new bids? >> Uh, we'll use the same company cuz 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. football fields. It is eight acres and.

we're talking about like 0.001%. 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 felony uh. felony thing just like damaging any. other government property could. Uh but. it is a you know this is the the job. that was done to fix the the reflecting. pool uh was done extremely well and. hopefully we can move on to this and. just talk about you know how we can. continue to do things like take care of. the this was a deferred maintenance.

problem. We have deferred and then on. state regime media which calls itself. Fox they figured you know what let's. bring on Benjamin Net and Yahoo today. So Benjamin Net just so we know in the. past 48 hours there have been more. violations of the ceasefire uh theou I. mean take a look right here uh Netanyahu. and the Israeli forces demolished an. entire neighborhood at Ben Jabel in the. Aldwa neighborhood in southern Lebanon. Um, more attacks on Lebanon. This.

morning, an Israeli air strike targeted. the town of Kunine in southern Lebanon. Another violation of theou. 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 um they. will not be abiding by the Supreme Court. ruling in Israel. Um there was a Supreme. Court ruling that basically said that. you know Netanyahu is 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 has 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 uh is doing. right here. But in any event, the. Netanyahu went on State Regime Media Fox. after violating the ceasefires, after. pulling America back into war, after. violating Supreme Court 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." Here, play this clip. >> Oh, we're not in a permanent state of. war. I myself, with President Trump, we. brought forth four peace deals. That's. what we did. It's the Abraham Accords. And I believe with the weakening of the. Iran, which has been achieved by our. common action, uh our common military. action, I think we're going to get more.

because uh because countries would like. to align with us, uh and to protect. their future and also their prosperity. Israel is a powerhouse. I mean, it's a. it's an engine of innovation, of AI, of. of quantum, of uh just of everything. So. and then he says everybody all these. countries in the Middle East want me to. annex them. They ask the Lebanon the. Lebanon Christians say Mr. Netanyahu can. you annex us and take us over. So that's.

why I do it. They asking me to take them. over here. Play this clip. >> We also take care of our friends. especially the Christians in the Middle. East. The Christian villages in Lebanon. >> Mhm. Some of them have actually asked to. be a next to Israel because we protect. them against the. fanatics who want to kill them and we do. the same things with Christians. everywhere. >> Well, you're Christians in the Middle. East. >> You're you're touching on. >> ridiculous ridiculous ridiculous. ridiculous. That's that's an.
