Do you have a minute?
We make a podcast called The Daily.
We're in town looking at all of the renovations and construction work that the president's undertaken.
The reflecting pool, Lafayette Park, and the arch that's going to be built behind us.
And we're just trying to figure out what people are thinking about it.
From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbaro.
This is The Daily.
In the lead-up to America's 250th birthday this summer, President Trump is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a massive renovation of the nation's capital.
I think it's good.
I mean, they're fixing it up, making it look pretty.
I mean, this is Washington, D.C.
Everyone's going to come here.
And depending on where you sit, these projects are either boldly slicing through bureaucratic red tape to bring Washington back to its glory.
I'm 100% behind him.
He's making this wonderful D.C.
look greatly beautiful again.
All right, tell us about the arch.
