Trump's Proposed 250-Foot Triumphal Arch in Washington D.C.

President Trump has proposed the construction of a 250-foot "Triumphal Arch" on Columbia Island in Washington D.C. to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America's founding. The structure, which would be taller than the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, has faced legal challenges from veterans and historians concerned about traffic and the obstruction of views between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. Critics have labeled the project "gauche," comparing it to Trump's previous hotel developments.

Jihadi Alert and Lone Wolf Narratives

Following the Ottawa shooting, security is increased at Arlington National Cemetery, which the hosts mock as "protecting the dead." CBS correspondent Bob Orr reports that while there is no direct link to a broader plot, the FBI is warning local police about "lone wolf" retaliatory attacks. The hosts argue the narrative is designed to shift public focus from Ebola back to Islamic terrorism.
