00:00Thank you, Tim. And before we get to questions, Tim mentioned you couldn't believe he would do something he did yesterday.
00:07Here's even something more confounding, some breaking news.
00:11Just now, the White House announced construction of a $200 million White House ballroom that will begin in September.
00:19A $200 million ballroom. Where'd this money come from?
00:24Did Congress appropriate it? I don't think so.
00:27Well, it's almost like Doge was never about waste at all.
00:31It was about cutting services to help Trump and his billionaire buddies.
00:36So it seems that Doge was all about making cuts on Americans to fund their ballroom?
00:43Was that what Doge was all about?
00:45So let's recap Trump's week in terms of its economic effect on American people and in terms of corruption.
00:52This week, he opposed stock trading bans for members of Congress and the President, something we support.
00:59He's now spending $900 million to refit his corrupt plane from gutter.
01:04He announced plans to build himself a new White House ballroom so he can eat his cheeseburgers in there, luxury.
01:10And he's imposing a new double tax on American families through his tariffs.
01:16As was said, costs, chaos, corruption, all embodied this week as typical on this subject.
01:25I promise I have a question on this subject.
01:27But aesthetically, on the White House construction, it will be almost two times the size of the main White House building.
01:35Yes.
01:36Listen, I'm happy to eat my cheeseburger at my desk.
01:43I don't need a $200 million ballroom to eat it in.
