| 00:00 - 00:03 | The renovation report is ready, Mr. President. |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | The pool was coated |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | in official American Flag Blue. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | The contractors say it looked tremendous for almost a week. |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | And the press photos were taken from very far away. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | The Reflecting Pool is my greatest civic achievement. |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Clean, blue, patriotic, highly reflective. |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Mr. President… |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | the pool… |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | The blue coating is peeling off the bottom. |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | And the water has turned deep green. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who said hydrogen peroxide would fix the algae, leave the room. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | What do you mean green?! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | It was American Flag Blue! |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | I asked for a monument, not a salad dressing reservoir! |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | The Reflecting Pool is supposed to reflect Lincoln. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Now it reflects algae. |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | It reflects failure. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | It reflects a contractor invoice with no shame! |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | Who paints a pool bottom like a middle-school hallway? |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, the vendor called it marine-grade. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | Marine-grade? It lost a fight to standing water! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, they applied hydrogen peroxide. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | The algae drank it like a smoothie! |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Unbelievable! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | We gave it chemicals |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | and it came back greener than before. |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | The algae has better resilience than my poll numbers! |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | I wanted a presidential water feature. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | Instead we built a swamp with premium peeling paint. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | And now the frogs arrive! |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Inflatable frogs! At the Lincoln Memorial! |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | I said drain the swamp. |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | I did not mean invite the swamp to demonstrate. |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | They have costumes! |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Giant frogs. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Walking around federal property like they own the algae. |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | They are chanting at a pool that already looks like a pond. |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | Tourists are taking pictures. |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | The frogs are posing like mascots. |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Lincoln can see all of it. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | It’s okay, sir. They are mostly peaceful amphibians. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | Do not call them amphibians. |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | Call them protestors in unauthorized flotation-adjacent clothing. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | This is over. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Drain the pool. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Strip off every inch of American Flag Blue before it reaches the Potomac. |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | Scrub the algae until it forgets photosynthesis. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | And get the frogs a permit application. |
