    The traffic at DC is the worst. We were there this past Spring Break. You guys are much brave than us with hopping fences. Never knew these were here. Crazy they just dumped it here. I learn so much from your channel.

    This was a nice departure from your typical California adventures that you guys are known for. Good work and well done for giving us a look at some out of the way history most people do not know about. It reminds me of the Greak, Roman and Egyptian ruins scattered throughout the Mediterranean and is a good reminder that all empires fall when they no longer adhere to the principles that they were founded on. The "American experiment" of self-governing (We the People) will be no different.

    Be sure to check out the Smithsonian. It will take several days to do it right. A well-kept secret is the National Cryptologic Museum. The inner harbor in Baltimore is also awesome with the National Aquarium and great Italian and seafood restaurants. DC is a great place to explore.

    The Joseph Coors mentioned is the grandson of brewer Adolph Coors, according to Wikipedia. He died in 2006 out in Rancho Mirage.

      The White House is made of the same kind of sandstone, as the capitol stones. So they could still be used to repair the white house.

    "We're not Mulder and Scully..." They wouldn't give a second thought to hopping the fence...they're FBI agents! 🙂 Actually, considering how easy it was to get in there I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few people have gone home with a souvenir chunk or two. Seeing the Capitol Columns, the first thing that comes to mind are the Windsor Ruins in Mississippi just off the Natchez Trace.

    3:29 Drew, dude: honestly, you have no idea. 🙄
    4:37 LBJ: the facial expression of a man who hears the urgent call of nature...
    5:55 An inscription for the ages...🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Typically, the 'government' concerned itself with self-immortalization (i.e., sandstone to marble), rather than using the tons of funds to benefit the American population. Bad Career Move. 👎🏻👎🏻
    6:12 Far left: runes on the sandstone are not typically graffiti tags
    8:10 TANIS (and Karnak and Luxor, and Persepolis) vibes from this site.
    9:07 'Freedoms and opportunities', coming from the legendarily racist Coors family, is cringe-inducing. (The 'Holland' given name, however, certainly checks out ☑)
    9:15 '...Donors, or patrons...', or something else entirely.
    THANKS, Muldur and Scully! (ps: if you're moving, and the drizzly weather is making you feel 'more at home'--does this mean Outta El Ay?) 🤔💭
