[00:00:01][sighs and gasps] >> Why don't any of you guys get this?

[00:00:08]Why Why doesn't it sink in?

[00:00:12]Is it a Is it an inability to think critically or is it a Is it a a willful ignorance? Like you can think critically, you just choose not to.

[00:00:23]This is about Donald Trump repainting the bottom of the reflecting pool in Washington, D.C. a a American flag blue, whatever the [ __ ] that is.

[00:00:35]This guy here says, "No, he's doing an industrial strength coating that is dark blue like the blue in the flag. Here you go. Why don't you look this stuff up?"

[00:00:43]You're not grasping the concept. It destroys what the pool is meant to do.

[00:00:49]What's the name of the pool?

[00:00:52]It's the reflecting pool, right? Do you know why they paint the bottom of the reflecting pool that darkish, blackish, grey color?

[00:01:01]So it can [ __ ] reflect.

[00:01:04]You see this image of the monument in the water? That's what it's supposed to do. It's supposed to reflect the image.

[00:01:13]You see the reflection of the monument?

[00:01:15]You see this?

[00:01:19]Get it?

[00:01:21]Reflecting.

[00:01:23]You don't get that with the blue bottom.

[00:01:27]The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was designed with a dark neutral grey bottom to maximize the mirror-like reflection of the Washington and Lincoln Memorial Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial.

[00:01:38]That aspect will be destroyed once it's painted blue. You won't get the same reflection.

[00:01:48]How the [ __ ] do you people not grasp this?

[00:01:55]Is it >> [gasps] >> Jesus [ __ ] Christ. Jesus [ __ ] Christ. Jesus [ __ ] H Christ on a goddamn tricycle. Would you please, for the love of everything that is decent in this [ __ ] world, take your [ __ ] head out of your [ __ ] ass and use it once in a blue moon blue moon for yourself. Don't just listen to what somebody else says and go, "Yeah, that's the idea."

[00:02:22]Think, [ __ ] think.
