Latest / Wicked Radio with Bill Adams / 6-23: Reflecting Pool Update - Kooky Algae Fans Or Actual Vandalism?
Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Oh, what's a pool all about? Fever owned the pool.
- 0:06Speaker 1: You know, algae is always a problem, but the National
- 0:09Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool has become a bigger problem than that.
- 0:12Speaker 1: What's the big deal? That's what I'm saying. But CNN
- 0:16Speaker 1: is acting like they just found their next Watergate. Is
- 0:18Speaker 1: it just simple blue haired, green haired lefty loons cheering
- 0:24Speaker 1: for the algae, which is actually happening, which we'll see
- 0:26Speaker 1: here in a second, or is it something more sinister
- 0:28Speaker 1: than that, because if it goes to the sinator side,
- 0:30Speaker 1: we're talking about the V word vandalism, then you got
- 0:34Speaker 1: to draw the line because this is a national monument,
- 0:38Speaker 1: by the way, and I think what we found out
- 0:41Speaker 1: last night about this thing revealed a lot more than
- 0:43Speaker 1: what we were told to believe. But we'll get into
- 0:46Speaker 1: it now. It matters. Didn't before, but now it does.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Thanks a finding me. Appreciate you Wake Up Radio, livestream
- 0:51Speaker 1: and podcast on x and YouTube and Facebook audio podcast
- 0:54Speaker 1: always right there wherever you like to get them. Thank
- 0:56Speaker 1: you so much for following along a lot more in
- 0:58Speaker 1: the audio side, and they appreciate you as always for that.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Let's get right into it. Let's start with some of
- 1:04Speaker 1: the latest. Let's play a little see if you can
- 1:06Speaker 1: guess the sound. What's the sound of this that happened
- 1:09Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon in Washington, DC, our nation's capital. That, my friends,
- 1:17Speaker 1: is the sound of President Trump personally flying over the
- 1:20Speaker 1: Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool to find out what the heck
- 1:23Speaker 1: is going on himself. And it's so funny when you
- 1:26Speaker 1: follow enough news stories or any particular president and they're
- 1:29Speaker 1: all like this, you know, when they're deep into their term,
- 1:32Speaker 1: and we're into Trump's second term now. But whether it's Biden, Obama,
- 1:36Speaker 1: Clinton was the same way. When they wear their emotions
- 1:38Speaker 1: on their sleeve, it's kind of easy to tell how
- 1:40Speaker 1: they're feeling about certain things. They can't always hide it.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And I think it's pretty easy to tell that Trump
- 1:46Speaker 1: is pissed's we'll get to the press conference he had yesterday,
- 1:50Speaker 1: where a lot of the questions revolved around not the
- 1:52Speaker 1: big stuff, not the things that the news report, not
- 1:55Speaker 1: that ABC or CNN or anybody else could cover, about
- 1:58Speaker 1: Fauci and the latest we heard about him. More on
- 2:00Speaker 1: that for another day. All the other things going on.
- 2:03Speaker 1: What's the latest with the Iran deal? Are they breaking
- 2:05Speaker 1: the seas far all that. No, the majority of the
- 2:07Speaker 1: questions yesterday were all about the reflecting pool, and he
- 2:11Speaker 1: answered them. Now, let's go back a little bit. What
- 2:14Speaker 1: did we see the end of last week, into the weekend,
- 2:17Speaker 1: even into this week? We saw the algae enthusiasts, right,
- 2:22Speaker 1: and everybody kind of laughed, and it was like, Okay,
- 2:23Speaker 1: are they Are they there to cause damage? Are they
- 2:26Speaker 1: doing it? No, they're just kinda they're just kind of
- 2:28Speaker 1: wacky in here. They are, Oh she is doing.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Everybody's found.
- 2:38Speaker 1: All right, and they've organized and now they're calling themselves
- 2:41Speaker 1: Team Algae. Like this lady fine. I mean they're not
- 2:49Speaker 1: breaking any laws, right, They're just kind of kooky. Everybody
- 2:52Speaker 1: kind of asked the question, there's this algae breakout. All
- 2:54Speaker 1: these news outlets are now talking about the algae and
- 2:57Speaker 1: the reflecting pool. It was beautiful like four days ago.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Did they cause it? Ah? That never really seemed to
- 3:03Speaker 1: be a viable story, did it. I mean, you're looking
- 3:05Speaker 1: at them. I don't think they're actual chemists or scientists
- 3:08Speaker 1: or have the ability to like pour something in there.
- 3:12Speaker 1: They're just wacky kooks in costumes and signs that say
- 3:16Speaker 1: Team Algae and they're rooting for the algae, and they're
- 3:17Speaker 1: talking to it, and they had a little rally over
- 3:20Speaker 1: the weekend. I think it was on Sunday. They're not
- 3:22Speaker 1: doing anything wrong. It's actually within their rights to be
- 3:26Speaker 1: goofy by the side and calling themselves Team Algae. There's
- 3:29Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that, you know, there's nothing, but my god.
- 3:32Speaker 1: This was the first part of the story. And this
- 3:34Speaker 1: was from a few days ago. They're not the only ones,
- 3:37Speaker 1: but CNN and ABC and all the other networks they
- 3:40Speaker 1: covered this thing like they just found their next water. Gad,
- 3:43Speaker 1: we've got it. We've got to look at the algae.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Look at the President. Trump was so proud of his pool.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Fourteen million dollars. More on the cost in a second,
- 3:51Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars and now it's algae. First of all,
- 3:55Speaker 1: this thing has always been ever looked into the history
- 3:59Speaker 1: of and a lot of that is popping up now
- 4:00Speaker 1: in your news feed. This thing has always been a
- 4:02Speaker 1: bit of a construction nightmare. They built it so many
- 4:05Speaker 1: years ago on a swamp. It actually was sinking. Back
- 4:09Speaker 1: in the Jimmy Carter administration, they tried to figure out
- 4:11Speaker 1: how they could actually raise it up because it was sinking.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Down because of the weight of the whole thing. We
- 4:16Speaker 1: know about the other previous projects people to even President
- 4:18Speaker 1: Bush tried to fix this thing. Obama spent, by the way,
- 4:21Speaker 1: this is now documented thirty four million dollars in various
- 4:24Speaker 1: project to contractors to try to fix this thing. But
- 4:27Speaker 1: they're harping on the fourteen million dollars President Trump spent
- 4:31Speaker 1: on this. And then when they got the LG. Oh,
- 4:34Speaker 1: this was the investigative reporting that CNN is known for,
- 4:37Speaker 1: and ABC is known for, and all the other networks
- 4:39Speaker 1: right now think of in the timeline all the other
- 4:42Speaker 1: things they could have been. Did they talk about what
- 4:45Speaker 1: outgoing Director of National Intelligence Director Telsea Gabbard said about Fauci,
- 4:51Speaker 1: that they basically have the goods on him. No, they
- 4:53Speaker 1: kind of walked away from the Iran story because after JD.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Vance kind of the hammer on him last night, looks
- 5:02Speaker 1: like we're gonna get our way up. They're not talking
- 5:03Speaker 1: about that. They're talking about algae Gate. Oh, this is
- 5:08Speaker 1: this is how they were. It's not clear.
- 5:09Speaker 2: You can see all the debris still floating through the
- 5:12Speaker 2: water here, lots of it. And I will point out
- 5:15Speaker 2: that algae comes from micro's microscopic spores. So that does
- 5:20Speaker 2: not offer any proof that the algae has gone. What's more,
- 5:24Speaker 2: that famous blue coating on the bottom, Look right, there
- 5:28Speaker 2: is some of it. And this is one of the
- 5:30Speaker 2: areas that has been passed over some same all the
- 5:33Speaker 2: way around.
- 5:33Speaker 1: Oh, that's when they first started to notice. Wait a minute,
- 5:35Speaker 1: that blue covering. So what they did was in the
- 5:37Speaker 1: in the project, at the beautiful reflecting pool. There they
- 5:40Speaker 1: when they had drained it, they put a coating under there.
- 5:43Speaker 1: There was like a rubbery substance on there, not only
- 5:45Speaker 1: the algae, but when CNN focused the camera in on
- 5:48Speaker 1: the water, they got algae. Look, look, huh, some of
- 5:51Speaker 1: Trump's blue covering is coming up. Oh fourteen million dollars.
- 5:57Speaker 1: And they keep harping on that. And again, remember all
- 5:59Speaker 1: the other stories that could have been talking about, all
- 6:01Speaker 1: the other things that all the real actual stories here.
- 6:03Speaker 1: First of all, it's a reflecting pool with zero circulation
- 6:07Speaker 1: and no filtration. Algae has always been a thing. Don't
- 6:12Speaker 1: tell that to them though, they were Ah, and remember
- 6:15Speaker 1: this story is like three four days old. That was
- 6:17Speaker 1: a report from a few days ago. So it grew
- 6:20Speaker 1: and grew and then and then hold on then we
- 6:22Speaker 1: get to the other sinister part of the story, because
- 6:24Speaker 1: so far there's nothing really wrong algae common occurrence, but
- 6:27Speaker 1: CNN all worked up about it. You've got the team
- 6:29Speaker 1: algae weirdos on the side. They're not really doing any harm.
- 6:33Speaker 1: They're just being goofs in a public park. That's okay.
- 6:37Speaker 1: But then everybody started looking into this blue surface on
- 6:41Speaker 1: the bottom. Why is that coming up? And how does
- 6:43Speaker 1: that actually happen? I asked the question too, was it
- 6:46Speaker 1: faulty construction? I think it's a fair question to ask,
- 6:49Speaker 1: even if you're even if Trump is your favorite president,
- 6:51Speaker 1: even if you voted for him. We all love the
- 6:54Speaker 1: you know, the the improvements of the national parks and
- 6:56Speaker 1: the monuments and all that good stuff. It's a fair
- 6:58Speaker 1: question to ask, was it faulty construction? Maybe they got
- 7:01Speaker 1: a bad construction job. Maybe not. Because here we go
- 7:06Speaker 1: with the press conference just yesterday where he remember the
- 7:09Speaker 1: beginning clip I showed you where he personally flew over
- 7:11Speaker 1: this thing to see for himself some of the report,
- 7:15Speaker 1: to confirm some of the reports he was being told.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Again this press conference yesterday, a majority of the questions
- 7:20Speaker 1: about the freaking reflecting pool, not the other issues. Well,
- 7:23Speaker 1: now it's an issue. And here was his answer. Remember
- 7:26Speaker 1: I told you he's pissed. You tell me you don't
- 7:28Speaker 1: think he is.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Are the contractors who did the initial work with a
- 7:31Speaker 2: reflecting pool?
- 7:32Speaker 1: Are they explained for the car condition? Or is it.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Vandals? You know we have one hundred and we have
- 7:39Speaker 3: a I think two hundred and ninety three hundred foot
- 7:43Speaker 3: slip right through it. Probably a box cutter or a
- 7:46Speaker 3: knife of some kind, or we had people lifting up
- 7:49Speaker 3: the basic some of the but it's not a lot
- 7:53Speaker 3: of damage, but it's we'll probably have to let the
- 7:55Speaker 3: water out and refix it.
- 7:57Speaker 1: They went in there with wait a minute, a whole
- 8:01Speaker 1: lot of thing. Even yesterday, I was asking questions after this,
- 8:04Speaker 1: and maybe you did too. Wait a minute after the flyover,
- 8:07Speaker 1: you were told he was told by park service that
- 8:09Speaker 1: they had a one hundred some odd foot gash on
- 8:12Speaker 1: this thing, that someone was able to cut it. And
- 8:14Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe you were too, and still are How
- 8:18Speaker 1: how how do you? How do you get it? The
- 8:20Speaker 1: thing isn't that deep, but it means still, how would
- 8:22Speaker 1: you actually get into that and be able to do it?
- 8:24Speaker 1: That would take some organization and some I in a
- 8:28Speaker 1: way sophistication. And now we're beyond just the algae tm
- 8:31Speaker 1: algae freaks with the green hair on the side and
- 8:33Speaker 1: the dinosaur costumes. There's nothing really wrong with them. We've
- 8:35Speaker 1: moved beyond them. It's not an algae issue. Now that
- 8:38Speaker 1: the President is obviously talking about vandalism with this, Oh,
- 8:43Speaker 1: now it's a separate thing. I don't know about you.
- 8:46Speaker 1: This is how we feel about it at first. If
- 8:48Speaker 1: it's just an algae thing, I kind of expected that
- 8:50Speaker 1: because it's always been they've never been able to fix that.
- 8:52Speaker 1: You've got tam algae on the side rooting for it. Fine,
- 8:55Speaker 1: that's whatever. Okay, But now you're talking about this is
- 8:57Speaker 1: where personally I got a drug line. If you're vandalizing
- 9:00Speaker 1: one of our national symbols, and it is it just is.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Maybe never been there, maybe you don't want to go there,
- 9:06Speaker 1: Maybe never really been a fan of the reflecting pool
- 9:08Speaker 1: for some reason. Maybe you weren't even a fan of
- 9:10Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars spent on fixing the thing up. If
- 9:14Speaker 1: you're vandalizing a national park, as he's claiming, Okay, that's
- 9:17Speaker 1: a different story. That's where you got to get a
- 9:19Speaker 1: little intolerant for that one. But you may be still
- 9:22Speaker 1: asking the question that I am. But okay hoo, this
- 9:26Speaker 1: is like this tourists walking by the people getting their
- 9:28Speaker 1: laps in this bicyclist. There's all this said, who would
- 9:30Speaker 1: be able to actually cut into the liner that they
- 9:35Speaker 1: just put down in the reflecting pool? Ah. I think
- 9:39Speaker 1: our answer came from last night. She's back the amazing
- 9:45Speaker 1: press Secretary Caroline Levin off from baby duty, starting to
- 9:48Speaker 1: do some media, starting to talk about these different things.
- 9:50Speaker 1: And of course, just like every other media outlet, Hannity
- 9:53Speaker 1: last night was asking her about what's going on with
- 9:55Speaker 1: this Now we're hearing about arrests around the reflecting pool?
- 9:58Speaker 1: What's happening here? Listen to what she says, vote and
- 10:00Speaker 1: she kind of slipped up a little. I think she's
- 10:02Speaker 1: a little rusty after being on baby duty. She slipped up,
- 10:05Speaker 1: and she let us know a little bit more about
- 10:07Speaker 1: some of the vandals that they've arrested so far. Usually
- 10:09Speaker 1: they don't do this, but this is a key thing.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Listen to what she said, Caroline, any more details on
- 10:13Speaker 2: the five people that have been arrested regarding vandalism here.
- 10:16Speaker 4: The vandalism is very real, despite what Tim Walls wants
- 10:21Speaker 4: to say, it's an imaginary problem. No, it is not.
- 10:23Speaker 4: It's a very real problem. In fact, I spoke with
- 10:26Speaker 4: the National Park Service just before joining the show. They
- 10:28Speaker 4: now have seventeen police reports that have been filed in
- 10:32Speaker 4: just the matter of a few days. There's actually been
- 10:34Speaker 4: six arrests at the Reflecting Pool, where again these deranged individuals,
- 10:38Speaker 4: many of them longtime donors to the Democrat Party, to
- 10:42Speaker 4: Barack Obama, to Act Blue, that have been vandalizing and
- 10:45Speaker 4: desecrating our federal monument, one of the most beautiful.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Hold on did she? First of all, the first thing,
- 10:52Speaker 1: I'm still stuck on this. Tim Walls chimed in on
- 10:54Speaker 1: this yesterday. I missed it, must have missed that one
- 10:57Speaker 1: tubby tubby Tim, Tim from Minnesota. But the other thing
- 10:59Speaker 1: is did you hear what she did? You catch what
- 11:01Speaker 1: she said there? They don't usually do this from the
- 11:03Speaker 1: communications department. Many of these individuals connected with donating to
- 11:08Speaker 1: Act Blue. Oh okay, hold on a second. This starts
- 11:12Speaker 1: to answer my question, and maybe the same one you had.
- 11:16Speaker 1: It would take some organization to be able to do this.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Trump's talking about one hundred some odd foot slash in
- 11:22Speaker 1: the underlayer of this thing. How do you organize that
- 11:26Speaker 1: to cause a distraction and then actually get it done?
- 11:31Speaker 1: Act Blue? Ah, yeah, the left wing organization that's funding
- 11:34Speaker 1: a lot of the fake protests. Now I could see
- 11:37Speaker 1: that as a possibility. That makes a lot more sense.
- 11:39Speaker 1: And there there is the point where we jump from
- 11:42Speaker 1: green haired Algae enthusiasts, so what that's really not Algae's
- 11:46Speaker 1: going to be a thing? Well wait a minute. When
- 11:48Speaker 1: they started to get into the underlayer floating up on
- 11:50Speaker 1: here cut in pieces, Trump takes a flyover it says
- 11:53Speaker 1: there is a gash, many gashes cut into it, and
- 11:56Speaker 1: she mentions Act Blue and an organized effort to ruin
- 11:59Speaker 1: this thing. Okay, now I see why he's pissed. Now
- 12:03Speaker 1: I'm pissed too if this is an organized effort to
- 12:06Speaker 1: ruin something that looked freaking awesome, and it raises the question, Okay,
- 12:10Speaker 1: you're going to tolerate this. No, I think they should be. Now,
- 12:14Speaker 1: he went a little bit crazy on truth Social last night,
- 12:16Speaker 1: and he's talking about, you know, actual prison sentences for
- 12:19Speaker 1: the amount of time and all this other stuff. But
- 12:21Speaker 1: you have to do something here. They're not just the
- 12:24Speaker 1: casual people who with TDS, who can't stand Trump, and
- 12:27Speaker 1: they want the algae to take over the entire thing
- 12:29Speaker 1: because they hate beauty. More on that in a second. Now,
- 12:32Speaker 1: If this is an organized effort to desecrate national monuments,
- 12:37Speaker 1: we've seen that before. We've seen that at the Lincoln Memorial,
- 12:40Speaker 1: we've seen that at other things, not just a reflecting pool,
- 12:42Speaker 1: we've seen that. Then you've got to drop the hammer,
- 12:44Speaker 1: you do, And I get that, and I hope they do,
- 12:45Speaker 1: because this is something completely totally different, because now you're
- 12:48Speaker 1: talking about not just algae weirdos, you're talking about vandalism.
- 12:52Speaker 1: And you can't have that. Well, it's just a it's
- 12:55Speaker 1: just a pool, it's just a symbol. Hey, don't tell
- 12:58Speaker 1: that to me. Tell that to all of the news
- 13:01Speaker 1: networks that went full scale, you know, investigative journalists and
- 13:05Speaker 1: they were putting cameras under the water to look at algae.
- 13:07Speaker 1: Tell that to them if it's not so important. Now,
- 13:09Speaker 1: and here's the other thing. If they find out this
- 13:12Speaker 1: is an organized effort, and I think they're on that
- 13:14Speaker 1: trail to intentionally vandalize in an organized effort, to fund
- 13:19Speaker 1: people to actually do this thing, watch the story disappear
- 13:23Speaker 1: from CNN all of a sudden. You're not going to
- 13:25Speaker 1: have reporters on the scene with taking algae samples and
- 13:28Speaker 1: all this suther stuff. If they find out this is
- 13:29Speaker 1: something way more than just your everyday, casual, run of
- 13:33Speaker 1: the mill TDS, well then they won't cover it, will they.
- 13:37Speaker 1: And this is where you should hope that they do
- 13:39Speaker 1: prosecute these people, I really, truly, truly do. It's anything
- 13:43Speaker 1: and everything to make Trump look bad, anything they possibly can.
- 13:46Speaker 1: But there's something deeper than this, though. What is it about.
- 13:49Speaker 1: They hated, I mean hated the UFC two to fifty
- 13:54Speaker 1: thing in front of the White House, the UFC events
- 13:57Speaker 1: that happened there. They hated the celebration. They they cringe
- 14:01Speaker 1: when you talk about America's birthday coming up in literally days.
- 14:04Speaker 1: Our two hundred and fiftieth birthday July fourth is massive.
- 14:07Speaker 1: It's great to see all the American flags, the patriotism,
- 14:10Speaker 1: the symbolism everywhere. They hate that. There's something I don't
- 14:14Speaker 1: think normal people are ever going to be able to
- 14:16Speaker 1: understand about the looney Left. They hate beauty. They hate it.
- 14:19Speaker 1: They hate beautification. Not only it's more than just hating Trump.
- 14:22Speaker 1: It's more than just TDS. It's something deeper than that.
- 14:26Speaker 1: They hate beautification of anything that represents America, despise it.
- 14:31Speaker 1: Which makes sense when you put this together and put
- 14:33Speaker 1: together all the clues in this trail, why an organization
- 14:36Speaker 1: like Act Blue, as Caroline Levitt is hinting at, possibly
- 14:42Speaker 1: maybe behind this in the actual vandalism, not just algae,
- 14:45Speaker 1: but vandalism of the reflecting pool. This is where it's
- 14:47Speaker 1: becoming something. If that's the case, I hope they find
- 14:50Speaker 1: out whoever it was, and Trump probably will because I
- 14:52Speaker 1: think he's personally pissed off about this. I think he's
- 14:54Speaker 1: taking this as a personal in front, went out of
- 14:56Speaker 1: his way to do this. And the money thing, now
- 14:59Speaker 1: that it's being exposed that previous administrations spent a hell
- 15:02Speaker 1: of a lot. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent.
- 15:05Speaker 1: Obama administration spent thirty four million dollars to contractors who
- 15:09Speaker 1: never were able to fix this reflecting pool ever, but
- 15:13Speaker 1: fourteen million to make it look like this, and now
- 15:15Speaker 1: look at it, and they're celebrating it well, and maybe
- 15:18Speaker 1: more than that bottom line, I would take a look
- 15:20Speaker 1: at this. I would take a look at this thing,
- 15:22Speaker 1: because he's personally pissed if we know anything about Trump,
- 15:25Speaker 1: if he if it's in a personal affront to him somehow,
- 15:29Speaker 1: he's not gonna let this go. He will direct the
- 15:32Speaker 1: Park Service National Guard to anybody, and he will turn
- 15:35Speaker 1: this over to the FBI to found it exactly who
- 15:37Speaker 1: vandalized this thing. If that turns out to be true.
- 15:39Speaker 1: And you know what, if it is vandalism, good, you
- 15:41Speaker 1: should nothing wrong with the team Algae freaks on the
- 15:44Speaker 1: side with their dinosaur costumes and their signs. They're just weirdos.
- 15:47Speaker 1: That's fine. They're not breaking any laws and they're not
- 15:49Speaker 1: hurting anybody as they talk to the Algae, which is
- 15:53Speaker 1: another story. But actual vandalism, yeah, you can't tolerate that
- 15:57Speaker 1: no matter where it is, because where does it stop?
- 15:59Speaker 1: So we'll see where it goes anyway, Extra finding me.
- 16:03Speaker 1: I appreciate you making a wicked awesome Tuesday. Whether you
