Do you 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 3: think he's being serious here or is he just trolling? 28 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: Because I a part of me thinks he is kind 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 3: of po about this. 30 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Mike, honestly, you read my mind, 31 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: You really read my mind. I'm like, this is I 32 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: think maybe the best. I mean, you're the most competitive. 33 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 1: Truth or troll, I guess is the way I would 34 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: phrase it. Uh, you could really go either way on this, 35 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: because you could, like, you know, new Gingrid says, you 36 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: know to me. You know, if someone says, wow, you're 37 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: the third greatest president we've ever had, Well, who are 38 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: the first? Two? Well Washington, the father of our country, 39 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: and two well Lincoln, you know, the man who kept 40 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: the Union, won the Civil War, I'm like, well that's 41 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: that's damn good. Like you know, I'd be like, that's 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: a compliment. He's like, I'm watching this, but I'm teed off. 43 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: You know, why am I not number one? 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 6: Oh? 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 1: You know? So he goes to John Thune said a 46 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: majority leader says, listen, John, we got to do something 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 1: here to make me number one. Okay, we got three 48 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: years left to go, and so It's almost like you 49 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: could tell half of his brain is joking. You know, 50 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: he's just trolling because obviously to be you know, even 51 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: considered among you know, Washington and Lincoln and these are 52 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: world historical figures. But you know, Trump with his ego, 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: his ambition is drive, you know, his competitiveness. I think 54 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: you're right, Mike. I think literally the other half of 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: his brain says, no, why aren't I number one? And 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: damond if I'm not, I will do everything in my 57 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: power to make me number one. So you know it 58 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: literally it could be truth. It really could be truth, 59 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: or it could be troll. It's like half of his 60 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: brain is truth and half of his brain is troll. Oh, 61 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: if I had to vote, man, you put a gun 62 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: to my head, Mike, I have to go a troll. Yeah, 63 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: but you could really go either way on this. I mean, 64 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: who's offended being compared to Washington and Lincoln. 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: So I at first I thought he was just trolling, 66 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: and then he immediately started giving giving reasons why he's better. 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: You gotta love the guy. I find him hilarious. I 68 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: just everything. I just he gives press conferences or does 69 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: these events, and I just watch him and I just chuckle. 70 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: I just find the guy funny. Okay, So let me 71 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: ask you the great audience of Kooner Country Nude. Gingrich 72 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: said that Trump was the third greatest president in US history, 73 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: just behind Washington and Lincoln. Now Trump says he's upset 74 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: by that that he should be number one. Is he 75 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: a telling the truth or b trolling? I you know, 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with trolling, But this is really a 77 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: fifty to fifty one I want to hear from you. 78 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: You can vote on our web page WRKO dot com 79 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: slash cooner w r KO dot com slash cooner k 80 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: u h n e R and of course you can 81 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: always vote via x my handle.

Larry, 84 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: I thought you made a very interesting point. He's done 85 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: demolishing the East Wing to build a beautiful ballroom. Is 86 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: this an analogy to what he's doing with the Deep State? 87 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: And I would answer that question by saying yes, I 88 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: think that's a very very good point. Larry. Please pick 89 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: up where you left off. 90 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 7: Another thing. He's going to be the probably the number 91 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 7: one president in history to spend the most of his 92 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 7: own money and they still hate him for it. 93 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: Larry, has it gotten to the point where really, if 94 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: he was for motherhood and apple Pie they're against it. 95 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: Is it really gotten to the point and no matter 96 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 1: what he does they oppose. It's just now it's blind hatred. 97 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: It really is derangement. It's Trump derangement syndrome. 98 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 7: Have to be sure that that that's all they can 99 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 7: come up with. He's spending his own money on a 100 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 7: project and they have to find something to rage about. 101 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: Larry, do you think that this quote unquote scandal, is 102 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: it going to have any legs? Will this damage Trump 103 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: at all? Or you think the American people are going 104 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: to laugh at these democrats in the. 105 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 7: Media overall is not going to affect him at all. 106 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 7: You know, they're all predicting that this government shutdown is 107 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 7: going to be hung around him like a millstone. And 108 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 7: it actually showed that twenty nineteen he was dropping in 109 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 7: popularity or approval during that shutdown. He's steadily climbing and 110 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 7: approval in this one. So everything they're doing is not working. 111 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: Larry, you are one thousand correct six seven two six 112 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay? Is Trump defiling? 113 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 1: Is he violating sacred ground? That's what the left and 114 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: the media, I mean, they're not just saying it, They're 115 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: yelling it. They're screaming it, they're screeching it. Construction now 116 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: has begun on a massive new expansion project at the 117 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: White House, literally at the east east wing of the 118 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: White House. So they have a construction crews now if 119 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: they can, a wrecking ball, and they have demolished a 120 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: good part of the East wing in order to eventually 121 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: build a beautiful, glamorous, really world class ballroom. Other things 122 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: as well, but the centerpiece is the ballroom, which many 123 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: say is going to rival anything in the world. Trump says, 124 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: you got to watch, You gotta wait, he says, trust me, 125 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: you will not be disappointed. This is going to be. 126 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: This has been put together by the finest architects, using 127 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: the finest building materials, with the best construction contractors and workers, 128 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: and it will be a substantial upgrade and renovation and 129 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: improvement to the White House overall. Listen now to Joe 130 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: and Mika Scarborough on MS LEFTBC. First, they went ballistic 131 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: that he's actually taking a physical wrecking ball to the 132 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: White House. They're saying, it's an attack on history, an 133 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: attack on our house. It's grotesque, it's repulsive. And now 134 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: they're going on about how he thinks it's his house 135 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: because he's a dictator. Roll cuts six b a mic. 136 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: Destroying like one of the most historic structures on the planet. 137 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: And are we saying that whoever we elect present has 138 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: the right to destroy just tear things up, tear it 139 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,839 Speaker 2: to the ground, turn it into something else. 140 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 8: Kind of crazy. 141 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 9: I don't think it's not your home that you purchased, 142 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 9: and you know now it's not yours. 143 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 8: You rent it from the American people for four years. 144 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: Well, he's just going to destroy it, that's what he's doing. 145 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: He's just hey, he's just taking a wrecking ball and 146 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: he just just just destroy it. Level it, just level 147 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: the whole damn thing. I mean, these people are insane. 148 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: And again, so no West Wing, no good under Theodore Roosevelt, 149 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: no Oval office under Howard William Howard Taft, no good. 150 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 1: No how about the East Wing under FDR no no good? 151 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: How about when Truman literally rebuilt the whole freaking thing, 152 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: gutted it from the inside, and a brand new bowling 153 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: Alley no, no, how about when the dear Leader added 154 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: that little nice basketball court. M They came in with 155 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: some pretty heavy construction crews. They smashed up a lot 156 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: of things to get that thing built. And by the way, 157 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: a lot of your pointing out, Jeff, don't forget the 158 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 1: Lincoln bedroom. Abraham Lincoln had the Lincoln Bedroom added to 159 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: the White House. That's very true, and just quickly most 160 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: you at least have probably heard of the book. David 161 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: McCullough a popular historian. His stuff is you know, I 162 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: think he's a liberal politically, but his stuff is quite good, 163 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: and he's a very good writer. He wrote a Pulitzer 164 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: Prize winning biography of Harry Truman. It's actually very well written. 165 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: There's a whole section in the biography that McCullough devotes 166 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: to Truman's grand project to I'm talking completely rebuild and 167 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: renovate the entire White House. There were construction crews around 168 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: the clock. Things were being smashed, destroyed, walls coming down. 169 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: You wouldn't believe it. Universal praise. McCullough praises him, the 170 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: Libs praise Truman, the media praise Truman. So you see 171 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: when every other president does it on the taxpayer's dying. 172 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: It's great, it's wonderful when Trump does it. Fascismo, as 173 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 1: the Italians would say, it's fascism, it's fascism. Six one 174 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight. Okay, very 175 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: very quickly. This is from Eric on Messenger, and I 176 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: think he really hit the nail on the head. Jeff, 177 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: the ballroom shows progress for America, that our progress is continuing. 178 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: The left wants the destruction of America, and Trump is 179 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: showing the world that we are growing bigger and better 180 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: without the Democrats. America is back and it's greater than yesterday. 181 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: The left hates progress, and Jeff, the White House is 182 00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: as symbolic as Mount Rushmore bingo, bingo. The ballroom is 183 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: the symbol of progress in America. A beautiful expansion, the 184 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: best materials. We're going to have the finest ballroom, the 185 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: finest place to meet foreign leaders and throw wonderful parties 186 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: and whole events. It will be unrivaled in the world, 187 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: with the finest construction material and it will show this 188 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: is Trump's America. America is back. Progress is on the march, 189 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: and we are bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever. 190 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: We are great again, a great White House for a 191 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: great country. And he's done it all without the help 192 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: of a single Democrat or a single liberal or a 193 00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: single leftist. Mel in New York, thanks for holding mail 194 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: and welcome. 195 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 6: Yeah man, yes, yes, yes, Good morning, Jeff. 196 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: Good morning Mel. What do you make of all this? 197 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 6: My friend, Let me get your office speaker. I was 198 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 6: holding the horse there a second ago. I gott me 199 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,199 Speaker 6: get jobsticker. Well, yeah, you know, as I was saying, saying, Sandy, 200 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 6: you know, if there was a Democrat in office and 201 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 6: President Trump wanted to spend his money to renovate that ballroom, oh, 202 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 6: they jump all over that. They'd be on it. They'd 203 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 6: be all over that like a bomb on a sandwich. 204 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 6: But the thing about it, you know, when they're spending 205 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 6: other people's money, they don't care. But uh, they've had 206 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 6: every opportunit. Well, look at Obama. You know that I'm 207 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 6: about five foot four, and I think he's not too 208 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 6: taller than me. So they say, you know, he's probably 209 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 6: about five seven or something like that. He's not that 210 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 6: very tall. From what I understand. I would like to 211 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 6: go one on one with him on the basketball court. 212 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 6: I think i'd smoke him. You know, he's he ain't 213 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 6: all that, you know, you know, it's just you know, 214 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 6: but these these they're so hypocritical. I just can't. I 215 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 6: don't do they do they listen to what they say 216 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 6: and how they act and what they say. I don't know. 217 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 6: They're they are their own worst enemy when it comes 218 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 6: to critics criticizing other people. They ought to start with themselves. 219 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 6: And maybe they get it, but obviously they don't and 220 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 6: they can't. They'll never get it. But you know, you 221 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 6: were talking about the price of fuel of President's Trump, 222 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 6: and I also understand he's going to get the Keystone 223 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 6: XL pipeline back rolling with who's that uh uh up 224 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 6: there in Canada? What's the press? What's his name? 225 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 5: Uh? 226 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: Prime minister? 227 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, Carnage, Yeah, Prime Minister Carnage. Right, So he gets 228 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 6: that rolling. Of course, you know, we'll see the fuel 229 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 6: prices come down. But diesel fuel, like you were saying, 230 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 6: is really key. But the thing about you know, Jeff, 231 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 6: have you ever noticed Canada Campbell's sooue who was owned 232 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 6: by who is uh uh what the heck's her name? Uh? 233 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: She? 234 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 6: I just I was just talking about she owns the 235 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 6: race horses too. She comes around here in the summertime. 236 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 6: Uh anyway, uh uh yes, the size of of what 237 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 6: you pay for you're gonna you pay, you pay more, 238 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 6: get less. And as far as reduction of of inflation, 239 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 6: you know, you may, like you said, you'll get the 240 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 6: fuel prices down, but you got to watch it too, 241 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 6: because they get they get very sneaky these uh uh 242 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 6: these uh in industrial or whatever, you know, these these 243 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 6: uh who's the manufacturer of what we buy in the stores? 244 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 6: Especially food products? You know, the portions come down and 245 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 6: the prices, the portions will get smaller, but the price 246 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 6: you may come down a little bit or stay where 247 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 6: it's eh, or you'll see you'll get a reduct you know, 248 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 6: a little little little re relief from the prices. But 249 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 6: you got to watch those sides too, just start reducing. 250 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: No, that's true. No, look out, you're right. I mean, 251 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: look and look I've noticed it. I mean, I've talked 252 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: about potato chips in the past, but really I love 253 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: potato chips. I shouldn't have it because of my diabetes, 254 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: but that's another story. Let that go. As I like 255 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: to say, it keeps costing more. It's like basically now 256 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: it's five bucks a bag, like a little family size bag. 257 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: It's five bucks. Okay, now it's even six bucks if 258 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: you buy Ruffles. I like ruffles six bucks and half 259 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: the bag is empty. It's air, you know, So the 260 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: packaging is smaller. Is so number one, it's already less 261 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: to begin with, and then it's half of it is air. 262 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: And the price has gone up like by what two bucks? 263 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: Since what is it? Since? You know, whenever when Biden 264 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: was in power. Mel I think one of the problems 265 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: is that we're still recovering from the pandemic economically. I 266 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: think the pandemic, COVID, the massive spending under Biden. I 267 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: think this is still with us, and it's going to 268 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: be with us. I think for a while to come. 269 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: Seven point fifty one here on the Great Wrko Jeff 270 00:16:52,720 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: Kooner Boston's Bulldozer six six one seven sixty eight sixty eight. 271 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: You know, Sandy just made a very good point. Is 272 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,480 Speaker 1: he taking these slings and arrows over the ballroom where 273 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: he's almost challenging the media to take him on, and 274 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: you know, giving as good as he gets, and I 275 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: know that's his style, but in a way to almost 276 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: distract them from everything else that he's doing. Remember, they're 277 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: laying people off now during this government shutdown. You know 278 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: Russ Vote, who's been overseeing the budget, who by the way, 279 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: he's been nicknamed darth Vader by the media, and Trump 280 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: loves that nickname. He goes, you want to call him 281 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 1: darth Vader, I'm going to embrace it. And he's like, 282 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, he's literally saying, you know, we're cutting program 283 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 1: after program. We're laying off so many of the you know, 284 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: these fat cat bureaucrats getting rid of all this waste, 285 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. And normally there would be these stories about, oh, 286 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: this person got laid off, this person got fired, this 287 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: program got caught, this agency whatever. You know, twenty people 288 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: were let go or whatever, and all they can't find, 289 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: you know, they can't find work. They're waiting in land now, 290 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: they're in food banks. You're not seeing any of that 291 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: because they're consumed with the ballroom and Trump is just 292 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: standing there and he's just taking blow after blow and 293 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: giving it back. And the more he hits them, the 294 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: more they want to attack him. Let me just play 295 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: the cut again. This is Trump in the rose garden 296 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: taking a lot of fire about the ballroom, and he's saying, look, 297 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: construction has begun. We're demolishing the east wing, but of 298 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 1: course we're going to renovate it. We're going to rebuild 299 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: it with a big, beautiful ballroom. It's going to be massive. 300 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: It's going to seaked about six hundred and fifty guests. 301 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: It's going to be one of the most spectacular ballrooms 302 00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: in the world. Listen to Trump, and Trump says, by 303 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: the way, I'm paying for it. This is out of 304 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: my pocket, not the taxpayers. Roll cut six, Mike. 305 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 4: We're building a world class ballroom. You know, for one 306 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty years they've wanted a ballroom here. 307 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: We don't have a ballroom. 308 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 4: We have a little cocktail area, but we don't have 309 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 4: a ballroom. The East room it's called, is a very 310 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 4: small cocktail area holds about eighty eight people if it's tight. 311 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 4: And we said, I said, if I do this again, 312 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 4: I'm going to get a ballroom built. And we're putting 313 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 4: up our own money with the government just paying for nothing. 314 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 4: You probably hear the beautiful sound of construction to the back. 315 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 4: You hear that sound, Oh that's music to my ears. 316 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 8: I love that sound. 317 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: Other people don't like it. I love it, Josh. 318 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 4: I think when I hear that sound, it reminds me 319 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 4: of money. In this case, it reminds me of lack 320 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,439 Speaker 4: of money because I'm paying for it. 321 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: So it's the optics. And again, Josh as he's looking 322 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: and talking to Senator Josh, now, just I want to 323 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: play one other cut, and I want to get all 324 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: of your feedback on this. I'd love for you to 325 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: weigh in, all of you. Trump's making another argument, and 326 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: it's not just about the ballroom. Trump has said this. 327 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: He said it in his first term. But the poor 328 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 1: guy was under you know, under siege. He was an 329 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: agent of Russia. They kept impeaching him. He had Robert 330 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: Muller and the Special Council breathing down his neck. I mean, 331 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: he was getting hit from all sides. So he said, look, 332 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: I didn't. I wanted to do these projects. I just couldn't. 333 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: I physically just couldn't. Now I got a second term, 334 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: I've put my enemies on the defensive. I've got right 335 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 1: the right personnel in the right positions now, so I'm 336 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: not as distracted and on the ropes as I was 337 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: during most of my second term playing defense. And the 338 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: point that he makes is he goes, the White House 339 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: needs to be upgraded. He goes, and I'm not just 340 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 1: talking about building a big, beautiful ballroom, he says. For example, 341 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: he talked about the Rose Garden, which is, you know, beautiful. 342 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, But he says, Washington, if you 343 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: know the weather there, it's almost like a swamp. It's subtropical. 344 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: It rains like crazy, the ground gets very wet. He says, 345 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: you have no idea how many times we throw events 346 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 1: at the White House. And women in particular will complain 347 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: because they're you know, they're wearing beautiful dresses, they have 348 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: high heels on, and their heels literally are sinking in 349 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: the grass, and it even gets muddy, and they'll like 350 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 1: take out their shoe and say, look, look, look at 351 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 1: the mud on my shoe. Look at this, Like is 352 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: this appropriate for the you know, the greatest power in 353 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: the world. This is the this you know, the seat 354 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 1: of the President of the United States. And you're throwing 355 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 1: a diplomatic function or whatever, a bill signing event or 356 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,959 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And you know, our shoes are 357 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: full of mud, or our heels are full of mud. 358 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: And Trump said that's disgraceful. So what did he do. 359 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: He built a beautiful patio. In other words, you know, 360 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: you put some cement saying look, i'm sorry, this should 361 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: have been upgraded the forty fifty years ago. Like, no, 362 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you can't. You can't just have it the 363 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: way it was, you know, one hundred years ago. You 364 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: got to keep updating it. And so he wants to 365 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 1: renovate much of the White House, and part of it 366 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: was the you know, the rose garden the outside. Make 367 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: it look beautiful, make it look more modern, make it 368 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: look more user friendly, if I can use that term. 369 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: In other words, no, you're not going to be walking 370 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: in mud. We're gonna have some beautiful patios. So in 371 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 1: other words, it's such a stick up a tent, and 372 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: everybody huddles underneath the tent if it rains. Listen now 373 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 1: to President Trump saying, look, I'm making changes to the 374 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: White House because the White House is old and outdated, 375 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,959 Speaker 1: and these changes and renovations and repairs need to be made. 376 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: It is the people's house and it deserves to look beautiful. 377 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: Roll cut five mic. 378 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 4: So this was going on for many years, but everybody 379 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 4: would just. 380 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: Sink into the mud. 381 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 4: It was extremely luxurious grass, especially when it was raining, 382 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 4: because you'd go back, you'd go down about five inches 383 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 4: into the mud. And when we had a press conference here, 384 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,919 Speaker 4: all the press standing back there, they'd be cursing me. 385 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 4: The women would be lifting up the shoes, saying, you've 386 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 4: destroyed my shoes. 387 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: This is terrible. 388 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 4: So we got a stone that's the exact same stone 389 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 4: and color as the White House itself, because we wanted 390 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 4: the friendly feeling of that light color and it reflects 391 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 4: the sun and it keeps you cool even in the summer. 392 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, he's a builder, and he's got an 393 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: eye for things that are beautiful, what looks good, what 394 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: doesn't look good, but also quality class. And he's a patriot. 395 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: He loves our country, and he's thinking is look, it's 396 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: the people's house. It should be a beautiful home. And 397 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: if you're also going to have the commander in chief 398 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: work from there as he does in the president and 399 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: the president's staff, and you know, have cabinet meetings, etc. 400 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: And meet world leaders, come on, you don't want them 401 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: coming to some you know, building that's falling apart and 402 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,119 Speaker 1: dilapidated and out of date and he goes, I'm sorry, 403 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: you've got to you know, it's the twenty first century. 404 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: We've got to renovate, we've got to upgrade, we've got 405 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: to improve. I think he's right to me, it's just 406 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 1: common sense, and it's also self respect as a country, 407 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: and Trump has a lot of pride and not just 408 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 1: in himself and his family, but in America and frankly 409 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: in the presidency and in the White House. I agree, disagree, 410 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: just very quickly. Okay, here's Fetterman, by the way, He's 411 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: the only Democrat that says, what's the problem. He's the 412 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: only one like, Yeah, he's paying for it, and I'm 413 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: sure it's gonna look absolutely beautiful, like really like he's 414 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: almost like dumbfounded looking around the room, like what is 415 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: the problem? Roll cut seven, Mike. 416 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 10: I mean, I don't have a strong opinion about expanding 417 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 10: the ballroom, but I'd like to just point out that 418 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 10: the currently Trump won't be in office before that's even 419 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 10: completed anyway, and I think everything that I've seen the 420 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 10: plans are going to be done in a tasteful and 421 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 10: historical kind of a way. I mean, they're not putting 422 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 10: in a David Buster's kind of a situation here. So 423 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 10: I think upgrading some of these facilities seems pretty normal. 424 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I'm like, yeah, you know, you 425 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: got an upgrade. Hello, he's not putting in a David Busters. 426 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: So I mean, it's it's going to be tactful, it's 427 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: going to be tasteful, it's it's going to be world class. 428 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: Like what's that? And he's paying for it? But what's 429 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 1: the problem. But no, here's the problem. Now here's Danang Dick. Hey, 430 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: mister stolen valor. So here's Senator Richard Blumenthal. I guess 431 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: he just came back from what is it now, his 432 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 1: twentieth tour in Vietnam. Rambo. So here's Rambo. Now he's 433 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: say all the MIAs, all those missing in action, he 434 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: went there, he rescued them. Now he's back. Here's Danang Dick. 435 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: So here's Rambo. Rambo. Richard Blumenthall roll cut seven A Mike. 436 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 11: I think this project a White House is a gigantic boondoggle. 437 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 11: And the really important question is not only the damage 438 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 11: that it could do to the architecture. 439 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 5: Of the White House, but also what contributors would have 440 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 5: over Trump if they are giving to this project. He's 441 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 5: already raised two hundred. 442 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 12: Million dollars or possibly more for his pack. Now he 443 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 12: is going to be soliciting money from private comrivers for 444 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 12: this boon doggle. 445 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: Boon doggle, boon doggle, boon doggle. By the way, usually 446 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: when you use the term boon doggle, it's something public. 447 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: In other words, it's tax payer money. That's usually when 448 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: you know it's a boondoggle. You know, like whatever the 449 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 1: O'Neal tunnel, that was a boonm doggle. You know it 450 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: was over budget. Well you know, it was years past 451 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: the due date when the construction was going to be done, 452 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: and it was you know, how many how many how 453 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: much of our money was thrown down a rat hole. 454 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: That's a boon doggle. So the donors are front the money. 455 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: Trump's paying for most of it now. And by the way, 456 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: what influence could they have, Like the money's already been donated, 457 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 1: so like, you know, like it means that much to 458 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: Trump that he's gonna sell America out for the for 459 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: the ballroom. You know, let me play six B again. 460 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: I agree with you, Sandy, you know. And by the way, 461 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: the left is somehow under the delusion that we're paying 462 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: for this, Like, you know, it's not his house stock 463 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: he's buying a house in New Jersey. Yeah, but he's 464 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: paying for most of it, or he's got his donors 465 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: paying for it. So what's the problem. Now Trump has 466 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: even said I'll disclose all the donors so it'll be 467 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: full transparency, so you'll know exactly who donated and what favors. 468 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: Can I put what for a boom? For a lousy ballroom? 469 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: Like what do you think? So what I'm selling? 470 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 7: What? So? 471 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: Now, what do I get out of this? He probably 472 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: won't even have his name attached to the ballroom. They 473 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: won't let him. So I'm going to build a ballroom 474 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: mostly on my expense, and I get a couple of 475 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: other wealthy people and others to chip in, and I'm 476 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: selling the country out. How what do I get out 477 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:22,959 Speaker 1: of the ballroom? 478 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 7: Like? 479 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: Literally, what did I get out of it? Except maybe 480 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: a footnote literally a footnote in the history textbooks one 481 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: hundred years from now. Yeah, you know that beautiful ballroom. Yeah, 482 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: that was paid for by Donald Trump and his supporters, 483 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: That was privately funded. That's it. That's what he gets 484 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: out of it. Listen now to Mika Brzhinski.

I 506 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 13: was looking for candidate to support and went to the 507 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 13: First in the Nation summit up in Nashville and New 508 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 13: Hampshire in the first quarter of twenty fifth. Long story short. 509 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 13: I chose candidate Trump, or almost candidate Trump at the time, 510 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 13: and was invited on a Friday afternoon by then paid 511 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 13: staff to go to a brunch at a hotel adjacent 512 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 13: to where the time was being held that next morning. 513 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 13: So I show up and this is probably the first 514 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 13: Trump event of the pre campaign. There was about forty 515 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 13: of us that went to this fabulously staffed and catered brunch. 516 00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 13: And he comes in with his retinue, gets up at 517 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:41,479 Speaker 13: the podium and starts to talk about what he wants 518 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 13: to accomplish. And he had five or six things on 519 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 13: his list, and he went over securing the border, securing 520 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 13: social security, bringing manufacturing back to America, a couple of 521 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 13: other things, and then there was some Q and A, 522 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 13: and then along in the process he also said, and 523 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 13: I'm going to build a bar ballroom for this country. 524 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 13: I can remember it like it was yesterday. And he 525 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 13: got up there and he said, we don't have a 526 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 13: ballroom to entertain people. He says, you go to other countries. 527 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 13: You see these beautiful ballrooms. They can hold two or 528 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 13: three hundred people. We don't have that. We have a 529 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 13: very small area in which to entertain dignitaries and guests 530 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 13: of our country. I'm going to build a ballroom for 531 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 13: the people of America. So I would say, promises made, 532 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 13: promises kept. 533 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 9: Yet again, Lisa, really well said I got to say 534 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 9: really well, very articulate, and just very powerfully said Lisa. 535 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 1: All I can do is add and just to reinforce 536 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 1: what you're saying. When I was an assistant national editor 537 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: at the Washington Times, long story short, I would meet 538 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: with foreign journalists. They would come to the newsroom. We'd 539 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: talk about what's happening their countries, and they would give 540 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: us information. And this would go on for you know whatever, 541 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: once or twice a week, and they come in for 542 00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 1: an hour or two. And the reason why I'm mentioning this, 543 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: and I mean they were journalists who came from Serbia, 544 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: from Croatia, from Poland, from the Baltic States, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Georgia, 545 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: the Republic of Georgia. And the reason why I'm mentioning 546 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 1: this is every single one of these journalists, these delegations 547 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: that would come to a man and woman would look 548 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: around the room, you know, your talk, what's happening in 549 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: your country. What's happening here? Our press, freedom's there. And 550 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: they would say two things over and over and over 551 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 1: and over again, and it really bothered us at the 552 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: Washington Times. They would say. Number one, they go, you 553 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: don't understand how we look at America. You led the 554 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: fight in the Cold War, you defeated the Soviet Union. 555 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I could do you the accent, but the 556 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: Eastern European accent. But you know, you like a hero 557 00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: to us. You're a beacon of light and a freedom 558 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 1: for all of us. But I don't understand one thing. 559 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: We come to White House to see President of the 560 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 1: United States to cover him for our country and with 561 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: our leader, and the White House briefing room, a carpet 562 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: is torn up, the chairs, they're thirty years old, Coffee 563 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: stains everywhere. I'm literally, that's literally, that's what you're saying literally, 564 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,800 Speaker 1: And they're like, it's much nicer even in our country. 565 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,879 Speaker 1: And then they say the second thing is they go, 566 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: then we give two. They give us two of White 567 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:49,360 Speaker 1: House and a lot of history. We love white House, 568 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 1: but he is sold And how you say decrepit. I 569 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: remember the Georgian journalist. It was decrepit. I'm sorry how 570 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: you say decrepit. And so what I'm saying is foreign 571 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: journalists would comment how shabby much of the White House 572 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,640 Speaker 1: look like how shabby the White House Press briefing room, 573 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: like we're coming here, like you know, eyes wide open, 574 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 1: like this is America, this is a white house. This 575 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: is oh my god, just like like you understand, this 576 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 1: is the trip of a lifetime. And you walk in 577 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: and like the seats in the White House Briefing room 578 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: are torn there's coffee stains everywhere. The carpet, which is true, 579 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: by the way, the carpet is torn up. Everything is old. 580 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: They're like, what do you what do you what do 581 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: you look Samal Yeah, like what are you some some 582 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: third world banana republic. You guys can't afford what to 583 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: restitch the chairs and and clean this place up and 584 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: get proper new carpeting. And and then they give a 585 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,759 Speaker 1: tour of the White House and think, oh, yeah, the 586 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,760 Speaker 1: portraits are nice and everything is nice. But everything is creaky. 587 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,720 Speaker 1: Everything is old. There's mold, the floors are scratchy because 588 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: you see, at least said what Americans don't understand is 589 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: the moment a new a president is sworn in, they 590 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,480 Speaker 1: move the president in right away and his family, and 591 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: it goes for four years straight. And then I'm talking like, 592 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: then as they're moving out, the other family's moving in. 593 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: There's never any time to renovate the White House. And 594 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: then it's and it's full of people and it's in 595 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 1: and out, in and out. So it's used four years 596 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: and then new administration four years, and then a new 597 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 1: administration four years so, and that's why Trump comes in 598 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: and says, oh my god, this this place is horrible. 599 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 1: This is the White House? Are you kidding me? This 600 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,280 Speaker 1: is what foreign leaders see when they come and visit 601 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,239 Speaker 1: the president, or when we hold a function, or we 602 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: hold a cabinet meeting, or we have a press briefing 603 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,879 Speaker 1: or we sign a treaty or whatever it is. He goes, 604 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: this is unacceptable. Now. My point is just the journalists 605 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: would complain to us, and it bothered me, It bothered 606 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: everybody because we're all like, why is the White House 607 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:16,319 Speaker 1: so poorly kept? Like why is it so shabby? And 608 00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:20,440 Speaker 1: Trump is like, no, not under my watch, It's gonna 609 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: be beautiful. It's gonna be magnificent. It's gonna be modern. 610 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be upgraded, it's gonna be up to date. 611 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: In other words, we're gonna make not just America, but 612 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,720 Speaker 1: we're physically gonna make the White House great again.
