I will say, it's not a particularly secure building. And I didn't wanna say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. [00:00:16] It's actually a larger room and it's much more secure. It's got proof, it's bullet proof glass, we need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons. But today's [00:00:33] a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before. The Republicans have decided to politicize this shooting incident, but not for a gun control or anything that would actually help the American people or keep people safe. [00:00:53] But Trump took it as a sign that this is why we need his ballroom. This is what Americans need, not just him, but Americans, even though most of us will never sit in that ballroom. So here is Trump pushing it again on Truth Social. He posted this long post. ah My God, it says [00:01:11] so much. says, For the last 150 years, the people have been demanding that a large, safe, and secure ballroom be built on the grounds of the White House. For the last 150 years, he said, people have been demanding this. This event would never have happened with the military [00:01:27] top secret ballroom currently under construction at the White House. It cannot be built fast enough. While beautiful, it has every highest level security feature there is. Plus there are no rooms sitting on top for unsecured people to pour in and is inside the gates of the [00:01:43] most secure building of the world. The ridiculous ballroom lawsuit brought by a woman walking her dog who has absolutely no standing to bring such a suit must be dropped immediately. Blah, blah, thank you for your attention to this matter. And after he posted all of that, all of his [00:01:59] sick offense, they all chimed in on X. And here, just look at this. It's all the usual suspects all saying the exact same thing, because let's give credit where it's due. They are great at falling in line and just doing exactly as they're told and saying exactly as they're [00:02:15] told. But it's not just whining on Twitter that we're seeing. There is action that is taking place in response to this. We have Todd Blanch, who is our, what is he, our acting attorney general now, demanding a lawsuit against Trump's ballroom be dropped. He posted this on X and [00:02:34] he says it's time to build the ballroom. And here's just part of what that letter says that he attached there. It says your client should voluntarily dismiss this frivolous lawsuit today in light of last night's assassination attempt on President Trump. How convenient. If your client does not dismiss the lawsuit by 9am on Monday. So what is that? That's [00:02:54] passed. The government will move to dissolve the injunction and dismiss the case in light of last night's extraordinary events. and convenient events. This lawsuit is on behalf of a single person who walks in the vicinity of the White House once a month and expects to dislike the East Wing's new design. The passing aesthetic gripe of a single person cannot possibly justify [00:03:14] delaying the construction of a secure facility for the President to do his job. How is the President doing his job this entire time? I have no idea. So do we need to rush? into anything, right? We need to build this ballroom, we need to hurry up and get it built. But what [00:03:32] about gun laws? Is now the time to talk about gun laws? We've been waiting for the time for a long time. Every time something happens, they say, don't talk about it, it's too soon. And then when it's too soon, they're like, why are you talking about that now? Well, here is what A.G. Blanch says. He said, this is not the time to change gun laws. Who is [00:03:53] surprised by any of this? So Republican Senator Tim Sheehy said that this week he will request unanimous consent for legislation to express support for the creation of the ballroom. And here's what he had to say, he said, it's an embarrassment to the strongest nation on [00:04:08] Earth that we cannot host gatherings in our nation's capital, including ones attended by our president without the threat of violence and attempted assassinations. ah Yeah, if you don't want attempted assassinations, maybe he could try to be a little bit nicer to people [00:04:23] that might help, right? Also, it is embarrassing, guess for who though, I don't know, they wanna make this into the Kremlin. They want the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg or something. But Trump knocked, he already knocked it down, right? The East Wing is already gone. He's already [00:04:41] bulldozed it without any kind of congressional approval or anything like that. And uh so something has to be built there. So now Trump is gonna build his ballroom with our money. He says with donations, I'm sorry, he's gonna build it with donations, which is arguably worse. So JR, this is why people think it was fake, because he needed a justification for [00:05:03] whatever he's got going on. There's a lawsuit that's holding up his progress. What do you make of this response? The convenience of the worst things to ever happen to this president as he's been attempted to be killed for the 28th time, it's amazing, right? And now it [00:05:18] just lines up perfectly for him to pitch his ballroom. But I want us to remember something. Remember when the ballroom was a ballroom? And then they were talking about how it's just for events. And then after this lawsuit that they're very upset about, forced the exposure of the fact that it's actually a bunker under the ballroom, which people that were crazy [00:05:34] with Trump derangement syndrome were saying from the beginning. They then had to admit that it's actually a bunker, secure bunkers so we can have underground, apparently, uh parties with a bunch of rich folks. So now that they moved on to that and no one likes that, they need some justification for this bunker. And since it's now a bunker, they're going [00:05:50] to say, well, we have this really bad event that happened and now all these MAGA influencers and minions in our government are pitching the same story. Where he sits forward, says he's a badass, want to go back inside and continue the event anyway, but we definitely need that ballroom with prepared remarks. I know, I guess people can write things up quickly, [00:06:10] but all of this is prepared and ready to go. It's like, everything he says doesn't make any sense. And we're supposed to be stupid enough to keep buying it. And even if it was real, no one's going to be stupid enough to buy it. Let's talk about that funding that continues [00:06:25] to slowly get exposed that has nothing to do with anyone that's on the up and up dark money being put forward to pay for this ballroom. By whom? With what kinds of incentives or requests in return for their money? because no one with money gives it away for nothing. But we're [00:06:41] supposed to forget that part. All of this disgusting. But we're again supposed to feel sorry for a bunch of rich people that want to have parties where they joke and laugh and eat really fancy dinners. And then exclude everyone else that they've cut programs for from healthcare to [00:06:56] food stamps to childcare to anything else. And we're supposed to hear them cry and complain about this and go, my God, can't eat, fired everybody that he could. But let's feel sorry for these sorry sons of bitches that want to go in and have more parties so we can watch [00:07:11] them laugh and chuck it up. Why would anybody give a damn about any of that? That's what they expect from us though. I think it's about time we stop making them think that we should fall for any more of this. That's why they're doing this. Why would anybody care that they're under attack when we're literally under attack? We watch people and citizens in the streets [00:07:29] get killed by our government in front of us. And then we also pay for us to kill other innocent people in other countries with our money. And we're supposed to watch them laugh and chuck it up and feel sorry for them that they can't do it securely. Are you kidding me? Yeah, [00:07:45] and it's also, it feels a little reminiscent of Luigi Mangione because like, this terrible thing happened to these terrible people and the American people do not care about it as much as it seems they seem to think that we should. It's really hard to garner sympathy. [00:08:03] for any of the people who are uh targeted that night, I should say. And also a lot of people, and we gotta get a break, but a lot of people who were there at the correspondence dinner that night, journalists, all of them, most of them, uh they have come out saying, including, [00:08:19] I should say, including left wing or more neutral reporters have come out saying that there really wasn't a whole lot of security. that night and almost to the point that it was kind of comical and they were like, why isn't there more the president's gonna be here to, not just the president, but the whole line of succession, everybody was there, so.
