00:00I did something today, we just got these in from the architects, a lot of people are talking about how
00:07beautiful the ballroom is.
00:08For 150 years, they've wanted to build a ballroom at the White House, and other presidents have wanted it.
00:20When we have dignitaries coming, like President Xi of China or anybody else, we have very small rooms.
00:26They're not big enough to handle the kind of capacity that you need.
00:31This is the same height as the White House.
00:34It's an incredible fitting, you see what that is, right?
00:37Nice.
00:39I'll show you.
00:41Here's another view, this is coming from right opposite the Treasury Building.
00:48Beautiful capital, a beautiful building, I think it'll be the finest ballroom of its kind anywhere in the world.
00:56A lot of people are giving it really good reviews, some are giving it reviews without even seeing the building,
01:01because this just came out today.
01:03These pictures were just made today.
01:06We got rid of, quite a while ago, the stairs on the south side.
01:12And it's become really beautiful.
01:14But it matches and fits the White House.
01:17It's also capable of handling the inauguration.
01:22We have all bulletproof glass.
01:24We have droneproof roofs, ceilings, everything's droneproof and bulletproof.
01:31And unfortunately, we're living in an age where that's a good thing.
01:34What's your timeline?
01:35That's a timeline, so we're ahead of schedule and under budget.
01:41And all of this money, all of the money paid are paid by myself and donors.
01:47It's all donors.
01:49There's not one dime of government money going into the ballroom.
01:54I thought I'd do this now because it's easier.
01:56I'm so busy that I don't have time to do this, but I'm fighting wars and other things.
02:03But this is very important because this is going to be with us for a long time.
02:08And it's going to be, I think it'll be the greatest ballroom anywhere in the world.
02:12It's the highest level, same height, exact height, if not higher, same height as the White House, exactly the same
02:19height.
02:20And if you look, you have the White House over here and you have this, and that's a duplicate of
02:25the wall.
02:25So it pays total homage to the White House, which is, I think, very important.
