Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner. Contrary, Okay, I'll be brutally honest with you,
like I'm in the confessional. I was going to lead,
obviously with the big story of the House Judiciary Committee,
and I commented on this on X last night. Now
(00:20):
doing a criminal referral, having now given the Department of
Justice a criminal referral to actually go ahead and prosecute
former CIA director John Brennan, it is a massive story.
Brennan now obviously was instrumental in the illegal spying of
(00:41):
Trump by the Obama regime. He was up to his
eyeballs in it, as was Comy, as was Clapper, as
were so many including of course the day later. And
so the dam is about to break on one of
the biggest scandals in American history, and this criminal referral,
it's now in Pam Bondi's court. The ball is now
(01:03):
in her court. As I pointed out on X, if
Brennan falls, he could hand over everybody on a silver platter.
He could hand over call Me, Clapper, McCabe, Peter Straw,
Lisa Page, Biden, Obama, all of them. And so it's
(01:26):
a huge story, potentially explosive. It has rocked the deep state, however,
and I will talk about it, I promise, because it's
such an important story. But President Trump is getting pounded.
There's just no other way to put it, absolutely hammered
(01:46):
by the media. It is relentless. It doesn't matter whether
it's this is CNN or MS LEFTBC or the nightly
news on CBS or ABC or NBC, or the New
York Times or the Globe, the Boston Globe or the
Washington Post. Is just blow after blow after blow. You
(02:08):
have Democrats now coming out as well, one after another.
And I'm looking at this and I'm like, has everybody
lost their freaking minds? It's over Trump's decision and now
they're implementing the construction project, which is why everybody's losing
their heads. But Trump's decision to expand and renovate the
(02:33):
White House, in particular in the East Wing. He is
now engaged in a massive construction expansion to create apparently
a beautiful, glamorous, world class ballroom. Other things as well.
They're other renovations. But that's the heart of it. That's
the core, the heart and soul of the renovation that
(02:56):
you can have what have six and fifty guests seated
at these beautiful tables, you can host foreign countries, foreign dignitaries,
foreign leaders. You can throw, you know, apparently beautiful diplomatic gatherings.
In other words, Trump is saying, we are the great
(03:16):
superpower of the world. We should have ballrooms at the
presidential residence, the White House that you see in France,
in Britain, in Germany, in Japan, in Russia, in China,
in Australia, I mean in countries all over the world.
(03:38):
He's like, I'm sorry, this is pathetic. We should have
something that's a little bit more appropriate and akin to
our stature as a great power and a great people.
And the White House now needs to be modernized and renovated. Now,
the key point is this, Whether you agree or disagree,
(04:01):
the fact of the matter is Trump is paying for
this on his dime and as well with private donations,
so he's putting up most of the money. It's a
two hundred million dollar project when everything is said and done,
two hundred million, not a single penny in taxpayer funds.
(04:23):
It is all strictly private expenses, private donations. So Trump
is going to put up most of the money. There
are other donors who've kicked in as well, so these
are it's privately funded. Now, what the Libs are freaking
out about what the media, the image they keep showing
(04:45):
over and over, and what they're doing on social media
in particular, is they're now showing scenes or pictures or
images of a wrecking ball of a construction crew tearing
down parts of the East wing of the White House.
And so you know, they have to tear it down
(05:05):
in order to renovate it and expand it. That's how
you do construction. Hello, the left is now saying the
sheer fact that he's got construction crews, that rooms are
being smashed, that a wrecking ball is being used, that
parts of the White House are being torn down, literally
(05:26):
physically torn down, is defiling in their words, sacred ground.
It is defiling the White House, it is defiling American history,
it is defiling the American people. In fact, Hillary Clinton
has gone on almost a personal jihad going on social
(05:50):
media showing the image of the construction crews now beginning
work and of course the wrecking ball in the bulldozers
and parts of the White House torn up, and you
know how it is stuff coming down and stuff being demolished,
and saying it's not his house, it's your house, and
(06:12):
then going on about how Trump is defiling the White House.
This is from the hilde Beast, that Trump is defiling
the White House. Now, let me just say this, he's
not the one. If you remember when the Clintons were
in the White House, Hillary was first Lady Bubba was
(06:35):
obviously president. When they left the White House at the
end of their second term, she's the one who took
over twenty eight thousand dollars in White House furniture. They
literally they took the china. I'm not making this up.
Look it up. It was a huge scandal at the time.
(06:56):
So they Pilford the White House. They looted the White House.
She took twenty eight thousand dollars worth of furniture in
china and teacups and vases and plates and whatever they
could get their hands on. By the way, that's theft
that we paid for all of that. They stole it.
(07:17):
So she's gonna lecture us on defiling the White House.
And then I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but she opened the
door so she can't. Don't complain that hill the Beast,
After what your husband did in the White House, he
turned the oval office into a freaking bordello. He turned
(07:42):
it into a brothel. For God's sake, he was getting
serviced by women in the freaking White House. And you're
gonna tell me that Trump is defiling the White House.
And by the way, the Saint Clinton's who pimped out
the Lincoln Bedroom to the highest donor. Hell, you want
this bedroom that costs you fifty grand, You want that
(08:03):
bedroom that costs you one hundred grand. You want this
bedroom that costs you a five hundred thousand dollars for
a night, And you're gonna lecture Trump on defiling the
White House because he wants to build a beautiful, glamorous ballroom.
Listen now to Joe Scarborough. Here it is. This is
(08:26):
just a taste of how the left is lashing Trump,
I mean, just hammering him on God forbid, his decision
to make the White House more beautiful, renovated, modern, glamorous,
a beautiful white House for a beautiful country. Roll cut
(08:50):
six' a mike.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In front of the facade of the White House. It
is not being obliterated as Donald Trump, who promised that
he was not going to take a wrecking ball to
the existing structure, has taking a wrecking ball to existing structure.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I gonna say, make it really is.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
It's it is.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It is hard to watch that, and it's hard to
believe that any president could destroy the White House and
take a wrecking ball to an existing structure so historic,
that is what's happening. It would be one thing if
if you were building on or you were doing things inside,
But to take literally a wrecking ball to the White House,
(09:34):
it's grotesque.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It's grotesque. Oh my god, he's attacking history itself. He's
literally taking a wrecking ball. He's physically destroying the White House.
He's a dictator. He's crazy, he's insane. Look what he's doing.
He's a king again again with the bs. By the way,
(10:01):
you're gonna lecture us, you, the media, you, Joe Scarborough, you,
the Democrats, you, the liberals on attacking quote unquote this
is history. Really after you? How many years now you've
been on a cultural jihau to destroy and destroy our history.
Tear down our statues, the George Washington statue, Tear it down,
(10:25):
Thomas Jefferson statue, Tear it down, Theodore Roosevelt's statue, Tear
it down. Christopher Columbus for God's sake, one of the
greatest men ever tear it, tear down that statue, and
they tore down the statues at the White House, not
just around the country, at the White House, and all
(10:46):
of a sudden, now this is history. You're being touched. Okay,
let me ask the great audience of Cooner Country. All
of you is trump the filing sacred ground by building
a lavish, brand new It will be a considerable expansion
to the East Wing, a just an absolutely gorgeous, apparently
(11:11):
beautiful ballroom. It is going to be very big. It
will seat about six hundred and fifty guests. It is
going to be in some ways the crown jewel now
of the White House. If you just look at what
the images the plans are, how it's going to look
like when this is all done. This is going to
(11:32):
be an absolutely magnificent ballroom that will rival anything anything
in any other capital in the world. And so the
Left is saying he's taking a wrecking ball, that he's
destroying the physical structure of the White House. That yes,
it's one thing to do renovations on the inside, but
(11:54):
to literally smash parts of the East Wing as you
see construction crews now working, you know, literally taking a
wrecking ball and then building this ballroom. That this is
an attack on the people's house, this is an attack
on the history of the White House, and this is
(12:14):
really now an act of a dictator who is defiling
the most sacred ground in the United States. This is
now the argument that they're making. They're claiming, now this
is a massive scandal. This is almost twenty four to
seven around the clock. When I say the left is
going berserk, there's no other way to put it. They're
(12:36):
losing their minds. Six one seven two six, six sixty
eight sixty eight. Do you agree with Trump privately funded?
Remember there's no taxpayer money involved in this. He's putting
up most of his money. Sorry, most of the money
is being put up by him, forgive me. And there
are other private donors as well. It's all privately funded,
(12:57):
so it's not costing the taxpayers a dining, a penny,
a shekel, a ruble, nothing. I think it'll be a
beautiful addition and expansion to the White House, a much
needed renovation and modernization. But that's me I want to
hear from you. Six one seven two six six sixty
(13:19):
eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, I don't know
if it's a link to a Washington Post piece or
a New York Times piece, So it's either the New
York Times or the Washington Post. So it's one of
the two. Okay. Uh, this is what Hillary Clinton. I
mentioned it in my opening monologue. But this is now
(13:40):
a coordinated assault on Trump. She linked, she sorry, she
put up pictures of the demolition crew that is now
tearing apart parts of the East Wing of the White House.
And she linked to a story where here's just the headline,
(14:00):
white House begins demolishing East wing facade to build Trump's ballroom.
And then she writes, just on top of the story,
it's not his house, it's your house, and he's destroying it.
(14:22):
And that set off. I mean, social media is on
a rampage. The media can't stop talking about it. The
Democrats are lining up now, one after another, everybody out
doing each other. How outrageous, this is, how un american,
this is, how insulting, this is, how a dictatorial, this
(14:42):
is how anti american even they say it is. And
so agree disagree. Listen now to President Trump defending himself
as the media now attacks and attacks and attacks. Roll
cut six, Mike.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
We're building a world class ballroom. You know, for one
hundred and fifty years they've won in a ballroom.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Here, we don't have a ballroom.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
We have a little cocktail area, but we don't.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Have a ballroom.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
The East Room it's called, is a very small cocktail
area holds about eighty eight people if it's tight.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
And we said, I said, if.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I do this again, I'm going to get a ballroom built.
And we're putting up our own money with the government
just paying for nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You probably hear.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
The beautiful sound of construction to the back.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You hear that sound, Oh that's music to my ears.
I love that sound. Other people don't like it.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I love it, Josh. I think when I hear that sound,
it reminds me of money. In this case, it reminds
me of lack of money because I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Paying for it. So it's the optice. And by the way,
the Josh is Senator Josh Holly. They had this Senate
that was the luncheon. He invited every Senate Republican. I
don't know. There's a debate whether he didn't invite Senator
Ran Paul Rand Paul was the only one who didn't
show up. Rand Paul says he wasn't invited. Trump says
(16:13):
he was invited begrudgingly, but he goes, I did invite him,
and so maybe a middleman somebody in between didn't invite
him anyway. So every Republican was there from the Senate,
with the exception of rand Paul and so, and all
they kept asking him about was a the government shutdown,
and this obviously this ballroom. Now what the left is arguing,
(16:35):
and they're repeating this now at nauseum, is that how
dare you start construction and spending on this ballroom in
the midst of a government shutdown when federal employees, federal
government employees are not being paid, where people They're claiming
Americans can't even buy groceries, that you still have high
(16:58):
inflation in America, that the cost of living is still
too high for most Americans, but you're devoting all of
this time and resources, yes it's your money, but still
into this opulent, glamorous ballroom. So they're trying to make
it seem that Trump is catering to billionaires and to
(17:18):
the uber rich while ordinary Americans are starving and the
government is shut down, and this shows like a king
that he is badly out of touch with what is
happening in America and the needs of the American people.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
(17:41):
Okay to me, by the way, I'm going to get
a little bit later in the show. This is not
the first time we've done physical expansions and renovations to
the White House. This has been going on by different
presidents over the last one hundred and some maybe twenty years.
So that's you know, and I want to get to
that later. But I think it's a beautiful expansion. Jeff
(18:06):
Cooner Boston's Bulldozer six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty eight is the number you can text the
Coooner Man seven zero four seven zero, and of course
you can always reach out to me on messenger. H
this is a beauty by Mark. And then I after this,
I want to go to the phone lines. Uh, Jeff,
(18:26):
did you see what Hillary Clinton posted on X about
Trump's White House renovations saying and I quote, this is
not his house, it's your house. End quote. Well, Hillary,
did you say that to your hobby slick Willie when
he was playing Hi does Salami with Monica Lewinsky in
(18:48):
the Oval office. I like that, Hi to Salami. This
is what I mean about these idiots, Jeff. They before
they think and they just make it too easy. And
then Mark goes on to say, Jeff, I'm just curious.
(19:08):
Has anyone seen any change in this country, you know,
after we removed all the statues and changed the name
of Syrup and Rice and military bases and sports teams names. Yeah,
I mean neither. Donald J. Trump, please bring them all back,
starting with all the Abraham Lincoln statues and then the
(19:32):
Washington Redskins. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Bring all the statues back. I'm with you. I mean
it's a you know, Redskins is the Washington Commanders. Now
that's a private football team, so he can't do that,
but they should restore the Redskins name, obviously, and you
(19:53):
know the stuff they did to Syrup and Rice, and
I mean it's honestly, And by the way, has you know,
has has the country gotten better? Has the country been improved? No? So,
But you see then the left doesn't mind waging war
on history. They just don't like it if Trump is
(20:14):
actually gonna make the White House more beautiful, more modern,
and more glamorous. Agree, disagree? Eric in Plymouth, you're gonna
kick us off. Eric, thanks for holding and welcome.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Good morning, higher up.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
This is this is sup the future again.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
In the you know, ANTIFA supporters, they had no problem
with the cities b l M and in you know,
changing names virus vaccine and a girl to a boy,
a boy to a girl, and pregnant okay, and the
four Father's monument okay, Plymouth, Massachusetts. That is beautiful in
(20:54):
the emblematic of America. Okay, where where's intifa in the
in this was a Hilda beast in there, and Barack
and all the other marriage minions and okay, and also
a burglar okay, taking documents out of the White House.
You remember that guy Sandy Berger, Right, Jeff, you can
(21:18):
go on and on and on changing definitions and uh,
you know, it's it's so absurd.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Well, you know, Eric, I think you really put your
finger on it. Look, these are the very same people, literally,
the same people who said our history is ugly and
evil and racist and homophobic and genocidel and nativist and
islamophobic and blah blah, blah blah blah blah. So tear
(21:47):
literally tear everything down. Rename military bases, destroy every possible statue,
tear him down every public square, every park, every campus
on the White House. So, as I said in my
opening monologue, George Washington, take them down. Theodore Roosevelt take
them down. Abraham Lincoln take them down. Thomas Jefferson take
(22:10):
them down, Christopher Columbus take them down. It doesn't matter.
I mean you you know, U list sees as grant
for God's sake, and Lincoln they freed the slaves. Take
them down. So now when Trump wants to build a
world class ballroom, and that's what it's going to be,
it's going to be. And by the way, just see that.
(22:30):
People know, you know, the White House, and I love
the White House, please don't get me wrong, but the
White House is a very old building. It's hundreds of
years old. You know, you know it needs to be
modernized and updated. What are we going to do live
in a you know, in a building that's two hundred
(22:51):
years old and not you know, not renovate and modernize it.
When you know, you go to you name your country. Hell,
Trump went to Pole just to give you an example, okay,
and Poland is they're proud people, a great nation, a
thriving democracy. Now, he said, I couldn't believe their presidential palace.
I couldn't believe their ballroom, how they met me, How
(23:13):
foreign leaders are met there, foreign dignitaries, events are held there,
conferences are held there. He goes. It's spectacular, and everybody's
all the leaders are like, this is nice, very nice, congratulations,
well done. He goes, You don't think it makes a
positive impression on world leaders and on the people are
all around the world. It elevates Poland standing now, and
(23:36):
you know Poland, no disrespect to the polls, but you
know they're not some great power. So Trump is saying, look,
I travel all over the world, and I see the
French have a beautiful ballroom and a beautiful presidential you
know palace. I see the Brits have it. I see
the Poles have it. I see the Austrians have it.
I see the Germans have it, the Japanese have it,
(23:57):
the Chinese have it, the South Koreans have it. Everybody,
And I'm like, why don't we have it? Like he goes,
it's embarrassing. You put him in this small little east
wing room. He goes, you can barely fit twenty people
in there. He goes, come on with the United States
of America. And it's not even like he's saying, okay,
but I'm going to take it out of the public till.
(24:19):
In other words, Eric, I'm taxing you to pay for it,
or I'm taking your tax money. He said, no, no, Look,
I'm a multi billionaire. It's a two hundred million dollar project. It's,
by the way, best construction crew. These are top of
the line contractors. I mean, this is the best architects
I mean, and the best quality construction material. I mean,
(24:42):
this is going to be, as the French say, la
creme de la creme, the cream of the cream, the
best of the best. And he says, I'm paying for it,
most of it and whatever else. We have other people
who are donating money, so it's not costing the taxpayers
of dime. What's the problem now, the way you would
read it on social media, you would think he's taking
(25:02):
a wrecking ball. Eric is what he's done. He smashed
the east wing and then blank you that's it, Okay,
Send the bulldozers home, send the construction crew home. Send
the you know, send the trucks, send the rerecord, just
send it home. So there's gonna be the White House
smashed up and demolished, the east wing, you know, with
the roof caving in and the debris and then everything
(25:26):
just you know, and all the stuff on the material
on the floor, and he's just gonna leave it like that. Well,
have you ever been to a construction site. They come in, Yes,
they break things up and then they renovate. That's what
you're doing a construction job, Like hello, this thing will
be over in a couple of weeks. He's got them
(25:46):
working around the clock. So again I'm like, what's the problem.
It's not your house, it's the people's house. Yes, and
he's going to leave it to us much more, bigger,
much better, much more modern and frankly, much more elegant
and classy than when he inherited it. Well, I say,
(26:09):
it's a big project. No, I know, it's not a
two year project. I'm you know, for effect here, Sandy.
What I'm saying is it's going to be done, and
it's going to be done well, and it's out of
his pocket. Really, honestly, we should be saying thank you
what other president. Now, I'll get into the other projects
they've done to the White House over the last century,
(26:30):
but that was all taxpayer money. It was good. It
was a good expansion and renovation. I think I agree
with Practically, I'll give you the list, you know, and
it's going to shock you. You're gonna say, I didn't
know that. Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
And in the end you go, no, it was a
good move. But it was all taxpayer money. This it's
out of his pocket. It should be honestly, thank you.
(26:55):
What other president that's paid out of his pocket to
make our White House bigger, better, and more beautiful again?
And this is the thanks he gets. Basically, I come
to your house and I improve your home. I renovate
your home, I expand your home. I make your home
(27:18):
look like an absolute palace on my dime. And you
call me a dictator. No, you're the bad guy. You're
defiling shaper ground. Trump under siege why because he's expanding
the White House, constructing a brand new ballroom and putting
(27:40):
pretty much funding it himself with a little bit of
help from some private donations. And the left though, says,
how dare you take a wrecking ball to the east wing.
How dare you start physically destroying part of the east
wing structure in order to build this new ballroom. That
this is an attack on the people's house. It is
an attack on history, and as they keep repeating over
(28:03):
and over again, it is quote defiling sacred ground unquote agree, disagree,
Anthony in the Great State of Michigan. Thanks for holding, Anthony,
and welcome.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Thank you, Jeff. How am I reading on my headset here?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You're coming in loud and clear, Anthony, Anthony, what do
you make of.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
All this, sir, so I got a number of bullet points.
Let's start with the first. In the financial planning world,
why do you do business with a financial planner? Because
you like them? And oftentimes there's a schmooz factor who's
really ticked off about this, the State Department, because he's
nuke them and he's doing all international stuff and he's
(28:44):
stopping lures and part of that was getting you're rid
of USAID money again. He's sending out a message We're
going to build things again and that's going to be
like nuclear power, plants, ai, etc. Jeff, this is one
of the coup de grasses. He's promoting safe cities, and
he did it first to d C. DC's cleaned up.
(29:06):
DC used to look like Somerville in the nineteen eighties, Jeff,
So now you can have a ball there. She's building
a big and beautiful white house. And guess what, Jeff,
when he has balls there, Jess is not going to
be invited the likes of Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
This is brilliant, Anthony. Are you I just I have
to ask you because I agree with you one thousand percent,
But let me just play devil's advocate. Are you at
all bothered that you see construction crews physically dismantling parts
of the White House, you know, destroying parts of you know,
it's a construction site, smashing it, taking you know, taking
(29:46):
parts of the east wing completely apart, seeing a gaping
hole in part of the White House structure, and apparently
this is going to take a while for them to
complete this project, and that this is all being done
in this This is what the left is also upset about,
without the approval of Congress, without any input. They claim
(30:06):
from the American people, that this is all Trump acting
on his own unilaterally, that he doesn't have the right
to do that.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
What say you, Jeff, I'm gonna give you an analogy.
You've mentioned that Ashton loves Mustangs. If you found a
sixty five Mustang barnfind, one of the things you would
do is a dad would probably upgrade and dual master cylinder.
This breaks maybe even feel injections, so he'd have a
safer ride. At some point. If the structure is that old,
(30:37):
it should be historical place like Monticello, and nobody goes there.
This is a functioning white house. We do need a
place to have these balls. It's just about the Smovez factor.
It's about showing off that we are the greatest. I
have no problem with it at all. And if you've
got good construction, big materials in the best architects. Man,
I can't wait to see someone doing exposeonic gorgeous play
(31:00):
is going to be go for it, mister president.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Oh you nailed it, Anthony. Honestly, you just destroyed them
in one minute. You just destroyed them. You're dead on, Anthony.
Thank you very very much for that call. Look, come on,
I mean it's not you know it's not Monticello, or
you know it's not Oh, this is where they signed
a declaration of independence. Okay that of course you want
to preserve it, you know, there's no question. But it's
(31:23):
the White House.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I understand it's very historical, of course, but it's a
functioning It's it's where the executive branch is located. It's
where the president is, it's where his staff is, it's
where we meet world leaders. So it's not some building
that just you know, it was relevant two hundred years
ago and we preserve it as part of our history.
(31:44):
It's it's the functioning center of our government. And yeah,
do you want to have a crappy looking White House
with all due respect with the holes here and things
breaking down and the floor is chipping, and is that
what you want and then the carpet being ripped up
a little bit and is becoming older and dilapidated. Or
(32:06):
do you want it to see modernized, renovated, expanded and
big and beautiful. I want my White House big and beautiful.
I'll even go further, and maybe many of you are
going to disagree with me, but I'm just speaking from
the heart. I wouldn't have a problem. It's a two
hundred million dollar project, Okay, highest end two hundred and
(32:27):
fifty million, all of it, as I said, privately, financed
most of it from Trump's money. I wouldn't mind if
they spent two hundred and fifty million of our taxpayer dollars.
I'm sorry, am I The only one I want a
beautiful white house. That's all it's going to cost is
two hundred and fifty million. That is a great deal.
(32:50):
So what's the problem. And on top of it all,
it's all private money. We should be thanking the guy six.
Really it should be called the Trump Ballroom. I'm not kidding.
You should have his name to the ballroom. I mean,
that's the least thing I can get for building it
and for paying for it. Lisa on Cape Cod, Thanks
(33:12):
for holding Lisa, and welcome.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Good morning, Jeff. How are you.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I'm good? How are you? Lisa good?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
I had a comment and then a quick question, and
I'd like your answer, if you may, just that the
complainers are the ones that in the next breath will
elucidate on how they wipe the Constitution with their cheeks
and would burn it all down if given the opportunity.
That was my comment, and then my.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Question is.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Your insight on the fact that, yes, inflation on every
level is making just everyday life becoming more and more
cost prohibitive. So what insight does the president and or
the administration have on that aspect rather than let's all
(34:05):
get up in arms over an eyesore for a couple
of weeks and then it's going to be something gorgeous
and I'll take your answer off the air.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Thank you so much, thank.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
You, Lisa. Very good question, very good question, very good call.
By the way, just as an aside, these are the
same liberals and Democrats, and I promise i'll answer your question, Lisa.
So you know, remember what Michelle Obama said when she
was president, Sorry, first Lady, that was a slip. She
really was president, but she said, oh, it was intolerable.
(34:35):
Being first Lady was intolerable. She said it, she wrote it.
She went on about it afterwards to this day. Well,
what was so intolerable being first Lady? Was it all
the staff? Was it having your own personal chef? Was
it all the travel? Was it all the front page
spreads for Vanity Fair and all these other Cosmopolitan and
(34:56):
all these glitzy magazines. No, According to her, she said,
I woke up every morning reminded that this House was
built by slaves, so she felt victimized every day, I
swear to you, because hundreds of years ago, the White
House was built by slaves, and so she felt the
(35:20):
pain of slavery on her own personal pain and oppression
every day, every day, every day, every day. It was like,
I'm not kidding, it was torture for her to live
in that house because now in the halls she heard
the cries of slaves, the whips, the chains. It was
just now, you didn't notice it when she was, you know,
(35:41):
partying it up with Jay Z and p Diddy and
Elton John and they had parties every week at the
White House. Every week, I'm not kidding. It would go
on till two three in the morning. She was boogying
and rocking that dance floor. So no, I didn't see
the pain then, or when she was stuffing her face,
(36:04):
or when she was doing photo shoots, or when she
was traveling around the world on our dime. By the way,
I didn't see the pain, but she says, deep down
there was the pain. Now by the way, the British
burned down the White House. Everybody forgets this, the War
of eighteen twelve. It's one of the most important wars
in our history. Like we just had to like it
(36:26):
didn't like, it didn't happen Britain. It literally invaded the
United States, took over a lot of our territory, marched
on the White House, and burned the whole freaking day
thing down. It was then rebuilt with free labor, not
(36:47):
slave labor. So the White House was reconstructed after the
British burned it down. Then after the Civil War they
added more reconstruction. So the White House was not built
by the original initial one, yes, but not the one
(37:07):
after eighteen the War of eighteen twelve. It was eighteen
fourteen when they burned it to the ground. It wasn't
rebuilt by slave labor. Now furthermore, and I'm gonna get
to your question, I promised, Lisa. Okay, So on top
of that, on top of that, this this is they're
going on about. You know, Oh my god, oh my god,
(37:30):
how dare you do this to the structure of the
White House? Okay? Where was this outrage? And I want
to give a hot tip to six oh three. Hey
he is six oh three texted in six' oh. Three
you're a. Genius you're completely right this is what six
oh three, rights and everything he says is factually accurate
or she. Factory it's. Fine six oh three is factually. Accurate,
(37:54):
Jeff where was all this outrage when taxpayer dollars paid?
For now please listen to. This Theodore Roosevelt's West, wing
The West. Wing, yes That west, wing the Famous West

(38:18):

from was constructed between nineteen oh eight and nineteen twelve
by Then President William Howard, taft who Succeeded theodore Rot
that was another construction job and another expansion taxpayer. Dollars hold,
(39:08):

wing and The Oval. Office now let's get to The East.
Wing Franklin Delano ROOSEVELT fdr built the Entire east, wing
including a private, pool, which by the, way all the
presidents enjoyed ever. Since taxpayer money construction renovation. Expansion, yes
(39:37):
they were hammering down, walls they smashed parts of the.
Roof they added a holy east. Wing were they going?
Nuts was the press going? Nuts and it was taxpayer? Money,

Harry i'm not. Kidding look it. Up he rebuilt the
Entire White. House he gutted it from the. Inside it
was completely. Gutted i'm not talking adding a. Ballroom i'm

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Oh it's so Modern nixon was, LIKE i like the.
BALL i need to. Relax people like to come from,
abroad overseas leaders they like. Bowling we bowled. Together we,

and it wasn't a little dinky basketball. Court it was
a big mother basketball. Court and, yep there was substantial. Renovation.
Yep they had to smash things. Down they, hit they

you AND i paid for that so he can play.
Basketball nobody else is playing. Basketball trump's not playing. Basketball
joey certainly didn't play. Basketball that was all for the
Dear leader and his, friends who you think paid for.
That we did, so my point being The West, wing
(42:16):
The oval, office The East, wing the famous private, pool
the whole free Can White, house. Redone you add a bowling,
alley throwing a couple more, lanes and a basketball, court
all taxpayer, funded although The White house there was some private.
(42:37):
Donors trump they Built the part of the bowling alley
was by friends Of truman to give him a treat
for his. Birthday, okay so it was kind of public,
private but for the most, part it's not. Quibble it
was taxpayer. Dollars trump comes along and, says let me
get this. Straight other presidents can do A West. Wing
(42:59):
they can do An east. Wing they can do The Oval. Office,
hell they can smash and rebuild the whole Freaking White.
House they can add bowling, wings they can add basketball.
COURTS i want to add a, big, beautiful gorgeous ballroom
that's gonna look like literally like like the Taj mahal
with the best, marble THE i, mean the best building
(43:20):
materials on the face of the, planet with the best.
Architects out of my. Pocket And i'm the bad. Guy
i'm the one the filing sacred. Ground i'm the guy
quote unquote attacking. History The West. Wing Theodore roosevelt made.
(43:41):
History The West wing is. Infamous it's part of our.
History it's part of the history of the. Presidency it's
Synonymous West Wing, President West Wing, president The Oval, Office
Oval Office, president The East. WING i could go on and. On, Now,
(44:01):
lisa you put your finger on. It What trump is
doing now to bring down inflation and this is why
The libs are, panicking because they know they can't play
this affordability card much. Longer gas is now for the
first time, Nationally i'm not saying, everywhere but, nationally gas
now has gone under three dollars a. Gallon you're starting
(44:24):
to feel relief at the. Pump it's going to continue
to go. Down trump wants to drive it all the
way down to two dollars a. Gallon when you have
gas at two dollars a, gallon because everything relies on, trucking,
shipping getting groceries to the, market getting goods to the retail.
(44:45):
Stores when gas and fuel goes, down everything else goes.
Down it just. Does Now inflation is Already compare it
at the height Of biden it was fifteen, percent eighteen,
percent twenty, percent twenty three. Percent inflation now is consistently
at about two. Percent so he's gotten inflation down. Considerably
(45:12):
and now as he keeps driving the cost of fuel
lower and lower and, lower that's going to drive prices
down even. More the other thing that he's, doing and
this is why he keeps saying this argument over and over,
again is he's brought in now an incredible amount of foreign.
Investment we're talking about maybe now twenty twenty one trillion.
(45:36):
Dollars i'm TALKING, ai high, tech you name, it car,
manufacturing auto. Plants everything is now being resourced to The United.
States this is not just going to lead to an
explosion of, jobs which is good, obviously but it's leading
to higher. Incomes so what you're going to have is
(45:59):
you're going to have much lower, unemployment much higher, wages
and fuel going down. Combined that's going to lead to,
lower much lower, prices much lower, inflation much higher take home.
Pay so we're never going to go back to what
(46:21):
prices used to. Be it's very hard to have. Deflation
that never, happens you, KNOW i remember growing, up literally
a can of coke was twenty five. Cents i'm not. Kidding,
literally you go to the, machine the vending, machine literally
you put in a quarter and, bang there's your you,
know your. Coke you're never going to get a quarter
for a coke those, days you, Know that's that's the
(46:42):
problem with. Inflation you don't you never. Deflate but what
you want then is you want people to have more.
Money you want to stop, inflation you want to tame,
inflation freeze, inflation get it down to zero or as
close as you can to, zero and then put more
money in people's, pocket and so they have more, money
(47:03):
more spending. Power and then what seemed expensive before it
doesn't seem as expensive now because you're making more. Money
and the tax cuts are going to start kicking in as,
well so you get even more take home. Pay so
What trump is saying is it's all starting to come.
Together and this is one of the reasons why he
(47:24):
says the government shutdown was launched by The democrats because
they want to disrupt the economy and disrupt or blunt
the momentum now that he's built up over the last
eight nine months of his. Administration SO i hope that
answers your. Question but that's his plan to tackle inflation
and really Get america booming. Again and it's. Multifaceted but
(47:51):
to make a long story, short lower, gas lower, fuel higher,
wages more, jobs and tens of trillions of dollars in,
investment and that will break the back of, inflation and
it will rebuild the middle and working class and give
us a beautiful ballroom in the. Process larry In, Arkansas
(48:16):
thanks for Holding larry and.
Speaker 3 (48:19):
Welcome good, Morning. JEFF i understand there's a rumor that
they're going to rename the head. Table, WELL i.
Speaker 1 (48:27):
Mean you, know nobody respected The Oval office more Than Bill,
larry especially that, Desk That Oval office, Desk, boy that
thing was that was. Sacred you want to talk about sacred, Ground,
larry that was sacred.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Stuff it's funny because you you just can't fathom being
so angry that you don't think what you're going to
say is going to come back and bite you in the,
Butt and it. Wasn't is anyone famous if some guy
pointed out he, says you, know we know what your husband.
Did you should probably sit this one. Out you, know
(49:07):
it's just so. Simple but would you consider this like
a metaphor for what he's doing to the deep? State?
Speaker 1 (49:17):
Larry, Larry, Larry, Okay, larry can you hang? On i'm
up against the. BREAK i love it is this the
ballroom
Good morning, Cooner. Contrary, Okay, I'll be brutally honest with you,
like I'm in the confessional. I was going to lead,
obviously with the big story of the House Judiciary Committee,
and I commented on this on X last night. Now
(00:20):
doing a criminal referral, having now given the Department of
Justice a criminal referral to actually go ahead and prosecute
former CIA director John Brennan, it is a massive story.
Brennan now obviously was instrumental in the illegal spying of
(00:41):
Trump by the Obama regime. He was up to his
eyeballs in it, as was Comy, as was Clapper, as
were so many including of course the day later. And
so the dam is about to break on one of
the biggest scandals in American history, and this criminal referral,
it's now in Pam Bondi's court. The ball is now
(01:03):
in her court. As I pointed out on X, if
Brennan falls, he could hand over everybody on a silver platter.
He could hand over call Me, Clapper, McCabe, Peter Straw,
Lisa Page, Biden, Obama, all of them. And so it's
(01:26):
a huge story, potentially explosive. It has rocked the deep state, however,
and I will talk about it, I promise, because it's
such an important story. But President Trump is getting pounded.
There's just no other way to put it, absolutely hammered
(01:46):
by the media. It is relentless. It doesn't matter whether
it's this is CNN or MS LEFTBC or the nightly
news on CBS or ABC or NBC, or the New
York Times or the Globe, the Boston Globe or the
Washington Post. Is just blow after blow after blow. You
(02:08):
have Democrats now coming out as well, one after another.
And I'm looking at this and I'm like, has everybody
lost their freaking minds? It's over Trump's decision and now
they're implementing the construction project, which is why everybody's losing
their heads. But Trump's decision to expand and renovate the
(02:33):
White House, in particular in the East Wing. He is
now engaged in a massive construction expansion to create apparently
a beautiful, glamorous, world class ballroom. Other things as well.
They're other renovations. But that's the heart of it. That's
the core, the heart and soul of the renovation that
(02:56):
you can have what have six and fifty guests seated
at these beautiful tables, you can host foreign countries, foreign dignitaries,
foreign leaders. You can throw, you know, apparently beautiful diplomatic gatherings.
In other words, Trump is saying, we are the great
(03:16):
superpower of the world. We should have ballrooms at the
presidential residence, the White House that you see in France,
in Britain, in Germany, in Japan, in Russia, in China,
in Australia, I mean in countries all over the world.
(03:38):
He's like, I'm sorry, this is pathetic. We should have
something that's a little bit more appropriate and akin to
our stature as a great power and a great people.
And the White House now needs to be modernized and renovated. Now,
the key point is this, Whether you agree or disagree,
(04:01):
the fact of the matter is Trump is paying for
this on his dime and as well with private donations,
so he's putting up most of the money. It's a
two hundred million dollar project when everything is said and done,
two hundred million, not a single penny in taxpayer funds.
(04:23):
It is all strictly private expenses, private donations. So Trump
is going to put up most of the money. There
are other donors who've kicked in as well, so these
are it's privately funded. Now, what the Libs are freaking
out about what the media, the image they keep showing
(04:45):
over and over, and what they're doing on social media
in particular, is they're now showing scenes or pictures or
images of a wrecking ball of a construction crew tearing
down parts of the East wing of the White House.
And so you know, they have to tear it down
(05:05):
in order to renovate it and expand it. That's how
you do construction. Hello, the left is now saying the
sheer fact that he's got construction crews, that rooms are
being smashed, that a wrecking ball is being used, that
parts of the White House are being torn down, literally
(05:26):
physically torn down, is defiling in their words, sacred ground.
It is defiling the White House, it is defiling American history,
it is defiling the American people. In fact, Hillary Clinton
has gone on almost a personal jihad going on social
(05:50):
media showing the image of the construction crews now beginning
work and of course the wrecking ball in the bulldozers
and parts of the White House torn up, and you
know how it is stuff coming down and stuff being demolished,
and saying it's not his house, it's your house, and
(06:12):
then going on about how Trump is defiling the White House.
This is from the hilde Beast, that Trump is defiling
the White House. Now, let me just say this, he's
not the one. If you remember when the Clintons were
in the White House, Hillary was first Lady Bubba was
(06:35):
obviously president. When they left the White House at the
end of their second term, she's the one who took
over twenty eight thousand dollars in White House furniture. They
literally they took the china. I'm not making this up.
Look it up. It was a huge scandal at the time.
(06:56):
So they Pilford the White House. They looted the White House.
She took twenty eight thousand dollars worth of furniture in
china and teacups and vases and plates and whatever they
could get their hands on. By the way, that's theft
that we paid for all of that. They stole it.
(07:17):
So she's gonna lecture us on defiling the White House.
And then I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but she opened the
door so she can't. Don't complain that hill the Beast,
After what your husband did in the White House, he
turned the oval office into a freaking bordello. He turned
(07:42):
it into a brothel. For God's sake, he was getting
serviced by women in the freaking White House. And you're
gonna tell me that Trump is defiling the White House.
And by the way, the Saint Clinton's who pimped out
the Lincoln Bedroom to the highest donor. Hell, you want
this bedroom that costs you fifty grand, You want that
(08:03):
bedroom that costs you one hundred grand. You want this
bedroom that costs you a five hundred thousand dollars for
a night, And you're gonna lecture Trump on defiling the
White House because he wants to build a beautiful, glamorous ballroom.
Listen now to Joe Scarborough. Here it is. This is
(08:26):
just a taste of how the left is lashing Trump,
I mean, just hammering him on God forbid, his decision
to make the White House more beautiful, renovated, modern, glamorous,
a beautiful white House for a beautiful country. Roll cut
(08:50):
six' a mike.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
In front of the facade of the White House. It
is not being obliterated as Donald Trump, who promised that
he was not going to take a wrecking ball to
the existing structure, has taking a wrecking ball to existing structure.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I gonna say, make it really is.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
It's it is.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
It is hard to watch that, and it's hard to
believe that any president could destroy the White House and
take a wrecking ball to an existing structure so historic,
that is what's happening. It would be one thing if
if you were building on or you were doing things inside,
But to take literally a wrecking ball to the White House,
(09:34):
it's grotesque.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
It's grotesque. Oh my god, he's attacking history itself. He's
literally taking a wrecking ball. He's physically destroying the White House.
He's a dictator. He's crazy, he's insane. Look what he's doing.
He's a king again again with the bs. By the way,
(10:01):
you're gonna lecture us, you, the media, you, Joe Scarborough, you,
the Democrats, you, the liberals on attacking quote unquote this
is history. Really after you? How many years now you've
been on a cultural jihau to destroy and destroy our history.
Tear down our statues, the George Washington statue, Tear it down,
(10:25):
Thomas Jefferson statue, Tear it down, Theodore Roosevelt's statue, Tear
it down. Christopher Columbus for God's sake, one of the
greatest men ever tear it, tear down that statue, and
they tore down the statues at the White House, not
just around the country, at the White House, and all
(10:46):
of a sudden, now this is history. You're being touched. Okay,
let me ask the great audience of Cooner Country. All
of you is trump the filing sacred ground by building
a lavish, brand new It will be a considerable expansion
to the East Wing, a just an absolutely gorgeous, apparently
(11:11):
beautiful ballroom. It is going to be very big. It
will seat about six hundred and fifty guests. It is
going to be in some ways the crown jewel now
of the White House. If you just look at what
the images the plans are, how it's going to look
like when this is all done. This is going to
(11:32):
be an absolutely magnificent ballroom that will rival anything anything
in any other capital in the world. And so the
Left is saying he's taking a wrecking ball, that he's
destroying the physical structure of the White House. That yes,
it's one thing to do renovations on the inside, but
(11:54):
to literally smash parts of the East Wing as you
see construction crews now working, you know, literally taking a
wrecking ball and then building this ballroom. That this is
an attack on the people's house, this is an attack
on the history of the White House, and this is
(12:14):
really now an act of a dictator who is defiling
the most sacred ground in the United States. This is
now the argument that they're making. They're claiming, now this
is a massive scandal. This is almost twenty four to
seven around the clock. When I say the left is
going berserk, there's no other way to put it. They're
(12:36):
losing their minds. Six one seven two six, six sixty
eight sixty eight. Do you agree with Trump privately funded?
Remember there's no taxpayer money involved in this. He's putting
up most of his money. Sorry, most of the money
is being put up by him, forgive me. And there
are other private donors as well. It's all privately funded,
(12:57):
so it's not costing the taxpayers a dining, a penny,
a shekel, a ruble, nothing. I think it'll be a
beautiful addition and expansion to the White House, a much
needed renovation and modernization. But that's me I want to
hear from you. Six one seven two six six sixty
(13:19):
eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, I don't know
if it's a link to a Washington Post piece or
a New York Times piece, So it's either the New
York Times or the Washington Post. So it's one of
the two. Okay. Uh, this is what Hillary Clinton. I
mentioned it in my opening monologue. But this is now
(13:40):
a coordinated assault on Trump. She linked, she sorry, she
put up pictures of the demolition crew that is now
tearing apart parts of the East Wing of the White House.
And she linked to a story where here's just the headline,
(14:00):
white House begins demolishing East wing facade to build Trump's ballroom.
And then she writes, just on top of the story,
it's not his house, it's your house, and he's destroying it.
(14:22):
And that set off. I mean, social media is on
a rampage. The media can't stop talking about it. The
Democrats are lining up now, one after another, everybody out
doing each other. How outrageous, this is, how un american,
this is, how insulting, this is, how a dictatorial, this
(14:42):
is how anti american even they say it is. And
so agree disagree. Listen now to President Trump defending himself
as the media now attacks and attacks and attacks. Roll
cut six, Mike.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
We're building a world class ballroom. You know, for one
hundred and fifty years they've won in a ballroom.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Here, we don't have a ballroom.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
We have a little cocktail area, but we don't.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Have a ballroom.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
The East Room it's called, is a very small cocktail
area holds about eighty eight people if it's tight.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
And we said, I said, if.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
I do this again, I'm going to get a ballroom built.
And we're putting up our own money with the government
just paying for nothing.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You probably hear.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
The beautiful sound of construction to the back.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
You hear that sound, Oh that's music to my ears.
I love that sound. Other people don't like it.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I love it, Josh. I think when I hear that sound,
it reminds me of money. In this case, it reminds
me of lack of money because I'm.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Paying for it. So it's the optice. And by the way,
the Josh is Senator Josh Holly. They had this Senate
that was the luncheon. He invited every Senate Republican. I
don't know. There's a debate whether he didn't invite Senator
Ran Paul Rand Paul was the only one who didn't
show up. Rand Paul says he wasn't invited. Trump says
(16:13):
he was invited begrudgingly, but he goes, I did invite him,
and so maybe a middleman somebody in between didn't invite
him anyway. So every Republican was there from the Senate,
with the exception of rand Paul and so, and all
they kept asking him about was a the government shutdown,
and this obviously this ballroom. Now what the left is arguing,
(16:35):
and they're repeating this now at nauseum, is that how
dare you start construction and spending on this ballroom in
the midst of a government shutdown when federal employees, federal
government employees are not being paid, where people They're claiming
Americans can't even buy groceries, that you still have high
(16:58):
inflation in America, that the cost of living is still
too high for most Americans, but you're devoting all of
this time and resources, yes it's your money, but still
into this opulent, glamorous ballroom. So they're trying to make
it seem that Trump is catering to billionaires and to
(17:18):
the uber rich while ordinary Americans are starving and the
government is shut down, and this shows like a king
that he is badly out of touch with what is
happening in America and the needs of the American people.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight.
(17:41):
Okay to me, by the way, I'm going to get
a little bit later in the show. This is not
the first time we've done physical expansions and renovations to
the White House. This has been going on by different
presidents over the last one hundred and some maybe twenty years.
So that's you know, and I want to get to
that later. But I think it's a beautiful expansion. Jeff
(18:06):
Cooner Boston's Bulldozer six one seven two six six sixty
eight sixty eight is the number you can text the
Coooner Man seven zero four seven zero, and of course
you can always reach out to me on messenger. H
this is a beauty by Mark. And then I after this,
I want to go to the phone lines. Uh, Jeff,
(18:26):
did you see what Hillary Clinton posted on X about
Trump's White House renovations saying and I quote, this is
not his house, it's your house. End quote. Well, Hillary,
did you say that to your hobby slick Willie when
he was playing Hi does Salami with Monica Lewinsky in
(18:48):
the Oval office. I like that, Hi to Salami. This
is what I mean about these idiots, Jeff. They before
they think and they just make it too easy. And
then Mark goes on to say, Jeff, I'm just curious.
(19:08):
Has anyone seen any change in this country, you know,
after we removed all the statues and changed the name
of Syrup and Rice and military bases and sports teams names. Yeah,
I mean neither. Donald J. Trump, please bring them all back,
starting with all the Abraham Lincoln statues and then the
(19:32):
Washington Redskins. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Bring all the statues back. I'm with you. I mean
it's a you know, Redskins is the Washington Commanders. Now
that's a private football team, so he can't do that,
but they should restore the Redskins name, obviously, and you
(19:53):
know the stuff they did to Syrup and Rice, and
I mean it's honestly, And by the way, has you know,
has has the country gotten better? Has the country been improved? No? So,
But you see then the left doesn't mind waging war
on history. They just don't like it if Trump is
(20:14):
actually gonna make the White House more beautiful, more modern,
and more glamorous. Agree, disagree? Eric in Plymouth, you're gonna
kick us off. Eric, thanks for holding and welcome.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
Good morning, higher up.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
This is this is sup the future again.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
In the you know, ANTIFA supporters, they had no problem
with the cities b l M and in you know,
changing names virus vaccine and a girl to a boy,
a boy to a girl, and pregnant okay, and the
four Father's monument okay, Plymouth, Massachusetts. That is beautiful in
(20:54):
the emblematic of America. Okay, where where's intifa in the
in this was a Hilda beast in there, and Barack
and all the other marriage minions and okay, and also
a burglar okay, taking documents out of the White House.
You remember that guy Sandy Berger, Right, Jeff, you can
(21:18):
go on and on and on changing definitions and uh,
you know, it's it's so absurd.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Well, you know, Eric, I think you really put your
finger on it. Look, these are the very same people, literally,
the same people who said our history is ugly and
evil and racist and homophobic and genocidel and nativist and
islamophobic and blah blah, blah blah blah blah. So tear
(21:47):
literally tear everything down. Rename military bases, destroy every possible statue,
tear him down every public square, every park, every campus
on the White House. So, as I said in my
opening monologue, George Washington, take them down. Theodore Roosevelt take
them down. Abraham Lincoln take them down. Thomas Jefferson take
(22:10):
them down, Christopher Columbus take them down. It doesn't matter.
I mean you you know, U list sees as grant
for God's sake, and Lincoln they freed the slaves. Take
them down. So now when Trump wants to build a
world class ballroom, and that's what it's going to be,
it's going to be. And by the way, just see that.
(22:30):
People know, you know, the White House, and I love
the White House, please don't get me wrong, but the
White House is a very old building. It's hundreds of
years old. You know, you know it needs to be
modernized and updated. What are we going to do live
in a you know, in a building that's two hundred
(22:51):
years old and not you know, not renovate and modernize it.
When you know, you go to you name your country. Hell,
Trump went to Pole just to give you an example, okay,
and Poland is they're proud people, a great nation, a
thriving democracy. Now, he said, I couldn't believe their presidential palace.
I couldn't believe their ballroom, how they met me, How
(23:13):
foreign leaders are met there, foreign dignitaries, events are held there,
conferences are held there. He goes. It's spectacular, and everybody's
all the leaders are like, this is nice, very nice, congratulations,
well done. He goes, You don't think it makes a
positive impression on world leaders and on the people are
all around the world. It elevates Poland standing now, and
(23:36):
you know Poland, no disrespect to the polls, but you
know they're not some great power. So Trump is saying, look,
I travel all over the world, and I see the
French have a beautiful ballroom and a beautiful presidential you
know palace. I see the Brits have it. I see
the Poles have it. I see the Austrians have it.
I see the Germans have it, the Japanese have it,
(23:57):
the Chinese have it, the South Koreans have it. Everybody,
And I'm like, why don't we have it? Like he goes,
it's embarrassing. You put him in this small little east
wing room. He goes, you can barely fit twenty people
in there. He goes, come on with the United States
of America. And it's not even like he's saying, okay,
but I'm going to take it out of the public till.
(24:19):
In other words, Eric, I'm taxing you to pay for it,
or I'm taking your tax money. He said, no, no, Look,
I'm a multi billionaire. It's a two hundred million dollar project. It's,
by the way, best construction crew. These are top of
the line contractors. I mean, this is the best architects
I mean, and the best quality construction material. I mean,
(24:42):
this is going to be, as the French say, la
creme de la creme, the cream of the cream, the
best of the best. And he says, I'm paying for it,
most of it and whatever else. We have other people
who are donating money, so it's not costing the taxpayers
of dime. What's the problem now, the way you would
read it on social media, you would think he's taking
(25:02):
a wrecking ball. Eric is what he's done. He smashed
the east wing and then blank you that's it, Okay,
Send the bulldozers home, send the construction crew home. Send
the you know, send the trucks, send the rerecord, just
send it home. So there's gonna be the White House
smashed up and demolished, the east wing, you know, with
the roof caving in and the debris and then everything
(25:26):
just you know, and all the stuff on the material
on the floor, and he's just gonna leave it like that. Well,
have you ever been to a construction site. They come in, Yes,
they break things up and then they renovate. That's what
you're doing a construction job, Like hello, this thing will
be over in a couple of weeks. He's got them
(25:46):
working around the clock. So again I'm like, what's the problem.
It's not your house, it's the people's house. Yes, and
he's going to leave it to us much more, bigger,
much better, much more modern and frankly, much more elegant
and classy than when he inherited it. Well, I say,
(26:09):
it's a big project. No, I know, it's not a
two year project. I'm you know, for effect here, Sandy.
What I'm saying is it's going to be done, and
it's going to be done well, and it's out of
his pocket. Really, honestly, we should be saying thank you
what other president. Now, I'll get into the other projects
they've done to the White House over the last century,
(26:30):
but that was all taxpayer money. It was good. It
was a good expansion and renovation. I think I agree
with Practically, I'll give you the list, you know, and
it's going to shock you. You're gonna say, I didn't
know that. Oh, I didn't know that. I didn't know that.
And in the end you go, no, it was a
good move. But it was all taxpayer money. This it's
out of his pocket. It should be honestly, thank you.
(26:55):
What other president that's paid out of his pocket to
make our White House bigger, better, and more beautiful again?
And this is the thanks he gets. Basically, I come
to your house and I improve your home. I renovate
your home, I expand your home. I make your home
(27:18):
look like an absolute palace on my dime. And you
call me a dictator. No, you're the bad guy. You're
defiling shaper ground. Trump under siege why because he's expanding
the White House, constructing a brand new ballroom and putting
(27:40):
pretty much funding it himself with a little bit of
help from some private donations. And the left though, says,
how dare you take a wrecking ball to the east wing.
How dare you start physically destroying part of the east
wing structure in order to build this new ballroom. That
this is an attack on the people's house. It is
an attack on history, and as they keep repeating over
(28:03):
and over again, it is quote defiling sacred ground unquote agree, disagree,
Anthony in the Great State of Michigan. Thanks for holding, Anthony,
and welcome.
Speaker 6 (28:18):
Thank you, Jeff. How am I reading on my headset here?
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You're coming in loud and clear, Anthony, Anthony, what do
you make of.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
All this, sir, so I got a number of bullet points.
Let's start with the first. In the financial planning world,
why do you do business with a financial planner? Because
you like them? And oftentimes there's a schmooz factor who's
really ticked off about this, the State Department, because he's
nuke them and he's doing all international stuff and he's
(28:44):
stopping lures and part of that was getting you're rid
of USAID money again. He's sending out a message We're
going to build things again and that's going to be
like nuclear power, plants, ai, etc. Jeff, this is one
of the coup de grasses. He's promoting safe cities, and
he did it first to d C. DC's cleaned up.
(29:06):
DC used to look like Somerville in the nineteen eighties, Jeff,
So now you can have a ball there. She's building
a big and beautiful white house. And guess what, Jeff,
when he has balls there, Jess is not going to
be invited the likes of Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
This is brilliant, Anthony. Are you I just I have
to ask you because I agree with you one thousand percent,
But let me just play devil's advocate. Are you at
all bothered that you see construction crews physically dismantling parts
of the White House, you know, destroying parts of you know,
it's a construction site, smashing it, taking you know, taking
(29:46):
parts of the east wing completely apart, seeing a gaping
hole in part of the White House structure, and apparently
this is going to take a while for them to
complete this project, and that this is all being done
in this This is what the left is also upset about,
without the approval of Congress, without any input. They claim
(30:06):
from the American people, that this is all Trump acting
on his own unilaterally, that he doesn't have the right
to do that.
Speaker 6 (30:15):
What say you, Jeff, I'm gonna give you an analogy.
You've mentioned that Ashton loves Mustangs. If you found a
sixty five Mustang barnfind, one of the things you would
do is a dad would probably upgrade and dual master cylinder.
This breaks maybe even feel injections, so he'd have a
safer ride. At some point. If the structure is that old,
(30:37):
it should be historical place like Monticello, and nobody goes there.
This is a functioning white house. We do need a
place to have these balls. It's just about the Smovez factor.
It's about showing off that we are the greatest. I
have no problem with it at all. And if you've
got good construction, big materials in the best architects. Man,
I can't wait to see someone doing exposeonic gorgeous play
(31:00):
is going to be go for it, mister president.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Oh you nailed it, Anthony. Honestly, you just destroyed them
in one minute. You just destroyed them. You're dead on, Anthony.
Thank you very very much for that call. Look, come on,
I mean it's not you know it's not Monticello, or
you know it's not Oh, this is where they signed
a declaration of independence. Okay that of course you want
to preserve it, you know, there's no question. But it's
(31:23):
the White House.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
I understand it's very historical, of course, but it's a
functioning It's it's where the executive branch is located. It's
where the president is, it's where his staff is, it's
where we meet world leaders. So it's not some building
that just you know, it was relevant two hundred years
ago and we preserve it as part of our history.
(31:44):
It's it's the functioning center of our government. And yeah,
do you want to have a crappy looking White House
with all due respect with the holes here and things
breaking down and the floor is chipping, and is that
what you want and then the carpet being ripped up
a little bit and is becoming older and dilapidated. Or
(32:06):
do you want it to see modernized, renovated, expanded and
big and beautiful. I want my White House big and beautiful.
I'll even go further, and maybe many of you are
going to disagree with me, but I'm just speaking from
the heart. I wouldn't have a problem. It's a two
hundred million dollar project, Okay, highest end two hundred and
(32:27):
fifty million, all of it, as I said, privately, financed
most of it from Trump's money. I wouldn't mind if
they spent two hundred and fifty million of our taxpayer dollars.
I'm sorry, am I The only one I want a
beautiful white house. That's all it's going to cost is
two hundred and fifty million. That is a great deal.
(32:50):
So what's the problem. And on top of it all,
it's all private money. We should be thanking the guy six.
Really it should be called the Trump Ballroom. I'm not kidding.
You should have his name to the ballroom. I mean,
that's the least thing I can get for building it
and for paying for it. Lisa on Cape Cod, Thanks
(33:12):
for holding Lisa, and welcome.
Speaker 7 (33:15):
Good morning, Jeff. How are you.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I'm good? How are you? Lisa good?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
I had a comment and then a quick question, and
I'd like your answer, if you may, just that the
complainers are the ones that in the next breath will
elucidate on how they wipe the Constitution with their cheeks
and would burn it all down if given the opportunity.
That was my comment, and then my.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Question is.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Your insight on the fact that, yes, inflation on every
level is making just everyday life becoming more and more
cost prohibitive. So what insight does the president and or
the administration have on that aspect rather than let's all
(34:05):
get up in arms over an eyesore for a couple
of weeks and then it's going to be something gorgeous
and I'll take your answer off the air.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Thank you so much, thank.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
You, Lisa. Very good question, very good question, very good call.
By the way, just as an aside, these are the
same liberals and Democrats, and I promise i'll answer your question, Lisa.
So you know, remember what Michelle Obama said when she
was president, Sorry, first Lady, that was a slip. She
really was president, but she said, oh, it was intolerable.
(34:35):
Being first Lady was intolerable. She said it, she wrote it.
She went on about it afterwards to this day. Well,
what was so intolerable being first Lady? Was it all
the staff? Was it having your own personal chef? Was
it all the travel? Was it all the front page
spreads for Vanity Fair and all these other Cosmopolitan and
(34:56):
all these glitzy magazines. No, According to her, she said,
I woke up every morning reminded that this House was
built by slaves, so she felt victimized every day, I
swear to you, because hundreds of years ago, the White
House was built by slaves, and so she felt the
(35:20):
pain of slavery on her own personal pain and oppression
every day, every day, every day, every day. It was like,
I'm not kidding, it was torture for her to live
in that house because now in the halls she heard
the cries of slaves, the whips, the chains. It was
just now, you didn't notice it when she was, you know,
(35:41):
partying it up with Jay Z and p Diddy and
Elton John and they had parties every week at the
White House. Every week, I'm not kidding. It would go
on till two three in the morning. She was boogying
and rocking that dance floor. So no, I didn't see
the pain then, or when she was stuffing her face,
(36:04):
or when she was doing photo shoots, or when she
was traveling around the world on our dime. By the way,
I didn't see the pain, but she says, deep down
there was the pain. Now by the way, the British
burned down the White House. Everybody forgets this, the War
of eighteen twelve. It's one of the most important wars
in our history. Like we just had to like it
(36:26):
didn't like, it didn't happen Britain. It literally invaded the
United States, took over a lot of our territory, marched
on the White House, and burned the whole freaking day
thing down. It was then rebuilt with free labor, not
(36:47):
slave labor. So the White House was reconstructed after the
British burned it down. Then after the Civil War they
added more reconstruction. So the White House was not built
by the original initial one, yes, but not the one
(37:07):
after eighteen the War of eighteen twelve. It was eighteen
fourteen when they burned it to the ground. It wasn't
rebuilt by slave labor. Now furthermore, and I'm gonna get
to your question, I promised, Lisa. Okay, So on top
of that, on top of that, this this is they're
going on about. You know, Oh my god, oh my god,
(37:30):
how dare you do this to the structure of the
White House? Okay? Where was this outrage? And I want
to give a hot tip to six oh three. Hey
he is six oh three texted in six' oh. Three
you're a. Genius you're completely right this is what six
oh three, rights and everything he says is factually accurate
or she. Factory it's. Fine six oh three is factually. Accurate,
(37:54):
Jeff where was all this outrage when taxpayer dollars paid?
For now please listen to. This Theodore Roosevelt's West, wing
The West. Wing, yes That west, wing the Famous West
wing that was built By Theodore. Roosevelt that was an
(38:18):
expansion to The White. House they did a construction job

from was constructed between nineteen oh eight and nineteen twelve
by Then President William Howard, taft who Succeeded theodore Rot

Oh it's so Modern nixon was, LIKE i like the.
BALL i need to. Relax people like to come from,
abroad overseas leaders they like. Bowling we bowled. Together we,
talked you, know. Diplomacy nobody. Cared last, one the dear
Letter Barack Hussein obama when he added a basketball, court
(41:30):
and it wasn't a little dinky basketball. Court it was
a big mother basketball. Court and, yep there was substantial. Renovation.
Yep they had to smash things. Down they, hit they
banged up that structure of The White. House did the media,

(41:55):
you AND i paid for that so he can play.
Basketball nobody else is playing. Basketball trump's not playing. Basketball
joey certainly didn't play. Basketball that was all for the
Dear leader and his, friends who you think paid for.
That we did, so my point being The West, wing
(42:16):
The oval, office The East, wing the famous private, pool
the whole free Can White, house. Redone you add a bowling,
alley throwing a couple more, lanes and a basketball, court
all taxpayer, funded although The White house there was some private.
(42:37):
Donors trump they Built the part of the bowling alley
was by friends Of truman to give him a treat
for his. Birthday, okay so it was kind of public,
private but for the most, part it's not. Quibble it
was taxpayer. Dollars trump comes along and, says let me
get this. Straight other presidents can do A West. Wing
(42:59):
they can do An east. Wing they can do The Oval. Office,
hell they can smash and rebuild the whole Freaking White.
House they can add bowling, wings they can add basketball.
COURTS i want to add a, big, beautiful gorgeous ballroom
that's gonna look like literally like like the Taj mahal
with the best, marble THE i, mean the best building
(43:20):
materials on the face of the, planet with the best.
Architects out of my. Pocket And i'm the bad. Guy
i'm the one the filing sacred. Ground i'm the guy
quote unquote attacking. History The West. Wing Theodore roosevelt made.
(43:41):
History The West wing is. Infamous it's part of our.
History it's part of the history of the. Presidency it's
Synonymous West Wing, President West Wing, president The Oval, Office
Oval Office, president The East. WING i could go on and. On, Now,
(44:01):
lisa you put your finger on. It What trump is
doing now to bring down inflation and this is why
The libs are, panicking because they know they can't play
this affordability card much. Longer gas is now for the
first time, Nationally i'm not saying, everywhere but, nationally gas
now has gone under three dollars a. Gallon you're starting
(44:24):
to feel relief at the. Pump it's going to continue
to go. Down trump wants to drive it all the
way down to two dollars a. Gallon when you have
gas at two dollars a, gallon because everything relies on, trucking,
shipping getting groceries to the, market getting goods to the retail.
(44:45):
Stores when gas and fuel goes, down everything else goes.
Down it just. Does Now inflation is Already compare it
at the height Of biden it was fifteen, percent eighteen,
percent twenty, percent twenty three. Percent inflation now is consistently
at about two. Percent so he's gotten inflation down. Considerably
(45:12):
and now as he keeps driving the cost of fuel
lower and lower and, lower that's going to drive prices
down even. More the other thing that he's, doing and
this is why he keeps saying this argument over and over,
again is he's brought in now an incredible amount of foreign.
Investment we're talking about maybe now twenty twenty one trillion.
(45:36):
Dollars i'm TALKING, ai high, tech you name, it car,
manufacturing auto. Plants everything is now being resourced to The United.
States this is not just going to lead to an
explosion of, jobs which is good, obviously but it's leading
to higher. Incomes so what you're going to have is
(45:59):
you're going to have much lower, unemployment much higher, wages
and fuel going down. Combined that's going to lead to,
lower much lower, prices much lower, inflation much higher take home.
Pay so we're never going to go back to what
(46:21):
prices used to. Be it's very hard to have. Deflation
that never, happens you, KNOW i remember growing, up literally
a can of coke was twenty five. Cents i'm not. Kidding,
literally you go to the, machine the vending, machine literally
you put in a quarter and, bang there's your you,
know your. Coke you're never going to get a quarter
for a coke those, days you, Know that's that's the
(46:42):
problem with. Inflation you don't you never. Deflate but what
you want then is you want people to have more.
Money you want to stop, inflation you want to tame,
inflation freeze, inflation get it down to zero or as
close as you can to, zero and then put more
money in people's, pocket and so they have more, money
(47:03):
more spending. Power and then what seemed expensive before it
doesn't seem as expensive now because you're making more. Money
and the tax cuts are going to start kicking in as,
well so you get even more take home. Pay so
What trump is saying is it's all starting to come.
Together and this is one of the reasons why he
(47:24):
says the government shutdown was launched by The democrats because
they want to disrupt the economy and disrupt or blunt
the momentum now that he's built up over the last
eight nine months of his. Administration SO i hope that
answers your. Question but that's his plan to tackle inflation
and really Get america booming. Again and it's. Multifaceted but
(47:51):
to make a long story, short lower, gas lower, fuel higher,
wages more, jobs and tens of trillions of dollars in,
investment and that will break the back of, inflation and
it will rebuild the middle and working class and give
us a beautiful ballroom in the. Process larry In, Arkansas
