Speaker 1 (00:10):
Good morning, listeners. This is Marcus ellery with your Right
House Daily Briefing for Tuesday, October twenty first, twenty twenty five.
Today marks a significant milestone at the White House, as
demolition crews have officially begun tearing down sections of the
East Wing to make way for President Donald Trump's ambitious
new ballroom project. This marks the largest expansion of the

(00:31):
presidential residents in more than a century. The President announced
that the new permanent ballroom, spanning nearly ninety thousand square feet,
will accommodate major state events and large gatherings, with seating
for up to one thousand guests. The three hundred million
dollar project is being entirely privately funded by donors including

(00:52):
major tech firms and business leaders, meaning there will be
no cost to taxpayers, according to the White House, President
Trump has emphasized that the new facility will preserve the
historic neoclassical architecture while modernizing the East Wing, which has
been home to the First Lady's Office since nineteen forty two.
Some critics have called the changes controversial, but Trump supporters

(01:15):
are calling it a historic upbraide to the nation's most
iconic building, with completion expected by the end of his
second term. Just yesterday, the President hosted Louisiana State University's
baseball champions in the East Room, commenting on the construction
that has now begun just behind them. Turning to national affairs,
today is day twenty of the federal government shutdown, now

(01:37):
the third longest in US history. Negotiations between House and
Senate leadership remain stalled, with Democratic and Republican leaders publicly
blaming mum another for the impasse. President Trump will host
Senate Republicans for a White House lunch later this afternoon
to thank them for their unity during the shutdown and
for helping advance his nominees. Meanwhile, the Office of Management

(02:01):
and Budget has paused eleven billion dollars in Army Corps
of Engineers projects, and the National Nuclear Security Administration is
set to furlough eighty per cent of its staff. The
White House continues to assure the public that efforts are
underway to maintain critical nutrition programs like WICK and SNAP,
even as funding shortfalls loom later in the month. According

(02:22):
to the White House, the President's team is exploring every
option to sustain these essential services. In other executive branch headlines,
President Trump has reiterated his administration's intent to use stronger
measures to resolve the shutdown, and has continued to push
Senate Democrats to return to negotiations. Vice President J. D.
Vance and other senior officials were seen attending Marine Corps

(02:45):
anniversary celebrations yesterday, as the White House maintains a public
schedule despite the ongoing shutdown on the international front. Following
yesterday's White House meeting with the Prime Minister of Australia,
new billion dollar agreements have been ant focusing on mining
ware owth and critical minerals. Moves the administration claims will

(03:06):
secure US supply chains for years to come. That wraps
up today's news on White House activities and administration updates.
