Speaker 1 (00:00):
In addition to name calling and lashing out at everyone
in interviews and on social media, President Donald Trump has
unveiled plans to build a lavish, privately funded, two hundred
million dollar ballroom addition to the White House. Construction is
set to begin next month and should be completed before
Trump's second term ends twenty twenty nine. The White House

(00:22):
Press secretary describe the new ninety thousand square foot edition
as the quote State Ballroom to host up to six
hundred and fifty guests. That's more than triple the capacity
of the existing East Room. The project follows other gold
tinged renovations such as the Rolls garden makeover, oversized flagpoles,
and lux interior trim, prompting critics to compare the style

(00:44):
to Trump's mar Lago esthetic. So here's a question, do
you think the first Lady is doing this? And why
does the president care about the rose garden or ballroom
right now? Why I've been to the White House. I
don't see where they got room for this.

Speaker 2 (01:00):

People we Renovating fund privately funded two hundred million dollars. Okay,
this is what I don't get. He can do whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, have you you've ever seen anybody this dude right

of him.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
He has hijacked the Republican Party where it don't it
don't even resemble what it used to look like. It's
a one man show. We have a president that is
so petty. I've never met a president. He's made more
petty statements since he been president than all the presidents total.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
And he.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Just got mad at Charlamagne. Yeah, he got mad about him.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Because he did an interview, called him out, and so
he's mad at him. So now you're building this two
hundred million dollar ballroom. The American people are struggling. You're
taking away benefits, the veterans people are struggling with the economy.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
And Johns the lady, he fired the labor secretary. He
just fired her because he didn't like her report.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Unemployment.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Unemployment. Yeah, he just fired her. Independent, she's not even political.
She's just a stats person. They do numbers.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Because unemployment is sky high. He didn't like hers saying that. Right,
he's telling everybody, listen to me, the economy is great.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
It's not.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I would never touch Medicaid. The big beautiful bill has
and here's the crazy part. The Medicaid cuts won't going
to effect until after the mid term elections. And because
if the Democrats had a sense, they would be harping
on this right here to get some of them seats back.
But they stupid and they not. Guess what the Republicans
gonna turn around and blame them for the Medicaid that

(03:11):
they have already passed in a big beautiful bill. Oh
