Hi ChatterFoxes and welcome to
washington DC, washington DC is the
capital of the united states and it's
also the home of ChatterFox so we're
very excited to show you a part of
washington DC today it may be even the
most famous part of washington DC the
White House, this is the White House here
behind me the White House is where the
President of the United States lives, so
our current president is mr. Donald
Trump. so do you think Donald Trump is
inside of this White House right now??? can
you see any yellow hair in there??? I'm not
sure if he's here but he may be because
he lives here with his family. one of the
things that we call the President of the
United States is POTUS. POTUS, can you
guess what that stands for??? it's
President of the United States. it's an
abbreviation of president of the United
States. POTUS, so if you ever hear someone
talking about POTUS they're talking
about the President of the United States
and then of course his wife which is the
First Lady of the United States is
FLOTUS FLOTUS. so we have POTUS and
FLOTUS living here behind us in the in
the White House. behind the White House
you can also see the Washington Monument
which is another very famous landmark in
Washington DC and of course in front of
the White House as you can see there is
a protest going on. there's always a
protest going on in front of the White
House this protest
I'm not sure what it's about it may be
about the recent abortion bill that was
just passed yesterday who knows it could
be about anything because there's always
a protest or sometimes many protests
happening right in front of the White
House it's a great place to have a
protest
and another thing that I want to teach
you today is a very famous expression
from our current POTUS which is drain
the swamp. have you heard that expression
before??? drain the swamp means to get rid
of all of the corrupt politicians so
Donald Trump when he was campaigning to
be President used this phrase all the
time and what he was talking about was
getting rid of all the corrupt people
that are part of the government
so when you say drain the swamp pay
attention to the /r/ sound in drain, /r/
remember you make your /r/ sound by
pulling your tongue back and pushing
your lips forward, drain, drain the swamp,
swamp has a .... sound, not .... so it's swamp
swamp. drain the swamp. so I guess we'll
just have to wait and see if Donald
Trump is able to drain the swamp here in
Washington DC
by the way since we're in Washington DC
something interesting here happened
today and I want to know what you think
about. today Donald Trump suggested that
the United States should get rid of the
green card lottery system which is the
system that allows people to apply
through a lottery to get a green card
and come directly to the
United States with their green card. the
other system is a merit-based system and
through the merit-based system you would
get a visa based on what you can offer
to the country, your education your
talents or other things that make you
someone that the people of the United
States would want in the country so I
have a question for you what do you
think about this policy? should we keep a
green card lottery? or should we go to a
merit-based system? tell us your opinion
in the comments below.
can't wait to hear from you
