00:00We have a lot of great service members here with us, too, in this beautiful building, isn't it?
00:05Beautiful. We're adding on to the building a little bit. We're improving the building.
00:10See that nice drape? When that comes down right now, you see a very, very deep hole.
00:16But in about a year and a half from now, you're going to see a very, very beautiful building.
00:21And there's your entrance to it right there. In fact, it looks so nice, I don't think I'll even...
00:24I think I'll save money on the doors, because it can't get more beautiful than that.
00:29I picked those drapes in my first term. I always liked gold, but I think we can save a lot
00:36of money.
00:36I just saved curtains. And it will be. It will be spectacular. It will be the most beautiful ballroom.
00:44I believe it's because I built many a ballroom. I believe it's going to be the most beautiful ballroom anywhere
00:49in the world.
00:50And when you hear all that hammering out there, you know why the First Lady is not thrilled exactly.
00:55She said, will the pile drivers ever stop? You know, they go from 6 in the morning till 11.30
01:01in the evening.
01:02Can you imagine? Here?
01:05You know what? To me, that's a beautiful sound. She doesn't like it. I love it.
01:09You know what? To me, other than here, because we're donating it, not a penny to the taxpayer.
01:15It will be under budget, ahead of schedule. It will be $400 million or less.
01:21Most people say $400 million or more. No, it will be less.
01:24But when I hear that sound, that beautiful sound behind me, it means money.
01:30So I like it. But my wife isn't thrilled.
01:33She said, this is getting crazy.
01:35I said, don't worry about it. We'll be all finished up in a few months.
01:38But now for the reason that we're gathered this morning to recognize the unsurpassed courage
01:45of three really incredible American heroes, one living and two no longer with us.
