We actually do know that they have it contained, though it is obviously upsetting to see such an iconic structure receiving damage like that, it does appear as though New York has it under control. That is unlike here, or not here, but here, I thought I was in D.C.

I thought I was back in D.C. I'm not. I'm in New York. But that is unlike in D.C. where folks are being let back in, but the security checkpoints weren't open yet. I was going to say, I'm going to say it again. I am so happy to be here with you in my air condition studio watching these fools do this from the comfort of my home, enjoying their suffering with you. And I don't like watching people suffer. But I kind of feel like this is what you get. I kind of feel like this is a little bit like karma. You elected the president who truly is.

is a grifter, doesn't care about anything or anyone but himself, doesn't know how to, doesn't know how to make a casino that makes money, let alone plan something like this. So I kind of feel like you reap what you sow is how I feel. We're doing a great job. They're keeping up the flow and they're doing what they do the best. The men and women are the best in the business. We do a great job. All right. This is Secret Service Director saying that floods of people made their way back to security checkpoints. And they're going to try to redo the rally. Here is TMZ live on the scene.

Okay, what's up, everyone? This is the back of the line to get back into the fair. I'm going to show you how long it is. Here it is, all right? Freaking running right now. literally, oh my God. That was weird. Literally, oh my God, it keeps going.

Oh my God. No way. Would you wait in that line? Would you wait in that line? Absolutely not. Well, Donald Trump, aware of all of this, Simply posted, I'm here. Knowing everything going on, the chaos, the evacuations, the long lines, nothing like,

I'm so sorry that it's been such a chaotic day, but I can't wait to celebrate. None of that. Just, I'm here. I'm here. Here's more images of these frantically, as masses frantically enter, re-enter the National Mall. So we're now a part of the masses of the whole crowd here, where there is no, border. Let's go to the left. Everybody, it's just a mass mob getting back here. It's not clear. It's not clear what the security looks like. After everybody was evacuated, they took down the

mags that effectively create the security perimeter. And what you see now after the president announced that everybody would be allowed back in and that he would be giving his speech no matter what time of night, you're now watching everybody to send on this area. It's not Clear. I would truly hate being there. Here's one more quick clip of the massive mobs of people. Media. I guess.

I really hope we're not going up. Oh, my God. Imagine something bad happens. It would just be mass chaos. Mass chaos. This is just so. So not how you do. This is not how to organize mass amounts of people to move.

And one more. This is a maga mashpay. All right. It's 10.15 p.m. This is where Trump will give his big speech somewhere between 2 and 11 hours from now. he will speak somewhere between 45 and 145 minutes, then the fireworks go for another 40 minutes, which will be like Vietnam on a very bad day.

I mean, I guess what I was thinking about with all this, do you think, do you think this organization, knowing everything we know about how this thing has been organized, the chaos that has happened not only today, but the even just like the structures that they've created for this thing that are literally falling apart

do you feel like those fireworks are going to go on without a hitch I mean could this be foreshadowing what's happening in New York this this happened with a well-organized professional team do you think Donald Trump hired people

that know what they're doing I don't know with that. I guess we'll see. Meanwhile, this image came out of Donald Trump's going viral. Donald Trump, watching Fox News, watch him. I remember what he told Usha Vance yesterday that the only thing he likes to read are stories about himself? I believe him.

I absolutely believe him. And we also have word now that there does not seem to be any injuries from this fire that happened, the Brooklyn Bridge. So that is very good. And we are, we like that. It says no injuries had been reported. Police officials said that the burning was very likely ignited by Fourth of July fireworks. But at least we know that no one has hurt and everyone is safe, which makes me want to show you this. Mayor and Mom Donnie posted this for the Fourth of July. And it put a nice smile into my heart. All right. Well, we're going to be around. We're watching. I don't know when Trump's going to of speed, but, you know, if it's good or bad, we'll bring it to you. We'll let you know what

happens. But certainly this has been a more entertaining day than I expected. Oh, man. And I'll see you on the next update. Bye.
