00:00This place was not properly taken care of.
00:03I was told by my wife, you have to act presidential,
00:07so don't use foul language. I won't.
00:09Therefore, normally I would have said it was a sh** house,
00:12but I don't want to say that.
00:15The columns were falling down.
00:17The plaster was falling off.
00:20You made a speech, and I was saying,
00:22couldn't you fix up the paint job up there?
00:24You know, it looked a little...
00:25And this place is tippy-top now,
00:27including all the brand-new beautiful stone.
00:29I paid for it myself.
00:31All of the stone, all of the different things we have,
00:34and we're bringing the White House back to shape.
00:37I don't know if you got to walk into the marble, the statue,
00:41or it's called Statuario, the Statuary marble.
00:45The white, I don't know if you got to walk in there.
00:47They probably see your law enforcement.
00:48They don't want you to walk into the house.
00:50They want to keep you as far away as possible.
00:53But it's beautiful, bookmatched,
00:56and I spent a lot of time on bringing this house back,
00:59because this house was in very bad shape.
01:01Those walls were in horrible shape.
01:03I'm looking at them now.
01:03Look at them. They're perfect.
01:05The plaster was falling off.
01:07It was terrible.
01:08It's a White House.
01:08It's got to look incredible.
01:10It's got to be pristine.
01:11And the big thing is we're building a ballroom in the back,
01:14which will be, I think, the most beautiful ballroom anywhere in the world.
01:18You'll never see anything like it.
01:19And it will also be very safe.
01:21It's going to be a very safe ballroom.
01:23It's got glass this thick.
01:25It's amazing.
01:26The glass is this thick, like six inches thick.
01:28And you look through it, and you can see as perfectly as though it weren't there.
01:33Now, how they do that, I don't know.
01:35But it's at the highest level of safety.
01:38And you won't have a situation like you had two weeks ago on Saturday night.
01:43We're gathered here to begin police week.
01:46Very important, my friends.
01:47I won about 98% of the police in this country.
01:52And we're trying to figure out who were the other 2%,
01:54because nobody can figure that one out.
01:56Figure that.
01:56And we pay tribute to the heroes who keep America safe, and they are heroes indeed.
02:02There are three times the two hundred people and one hundred people and one hundred people.
02:03Okay, we're gonna do that as well.
02:03So we're going to work with a lot of people to do with us.
