Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for our American mama's. Dear mama's,
- 0:03Speaker 1: how can you be okay with Donald Trump tearing down
- 0:05Speaker 1: the White House?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our Merrick and mama's Alma Mama, she said.
- 0:22Speaker 1: And joining us now our American mama, Terry Nederville. So
- 0:25Speaker 1: Donald Trump had theur in the middle of the government shutdowns. Uh,
- 0:30Speaker 1: he had those wrecking balls come in and they destroyed
- 0:33Speaker 1: the east wing to the White House, even where the
- 0:36Speaker 1: apparently the presidential bunker is, and oh my gosh, you
- 0:40Speaker 1: would think that this was the biggest, meanest thing that
- 0:44Speaker 1: had ever been done in the history of the country.
- 0:48Speaker 3: Yet nobody said a word. During the recession when Obama
- 0:53Speaker 3: was doing the same thing. You heard the jack hammer's
- 0:55Speaker 3: going and it was just a mess because they were building,
- 0:58Speaker 3: they were putting the pipes in and they were in
- 1:00Speaker 3: his basketball court and the.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Wi Fi remember that go through to put all the
- 1:03Speaker 1: Wi Fi.
- 1:03Speaker 3: And I think that was like four hundred over four
- 1:05Speaker 3: hundred million dollars of tax paying dollars. So they're upset over.
- 1:12Speaker 3: In fact, I wrote this, Do you remember Jim Acosta. Yeah,
- 1:15Speaker 3: Jim acostaed from seeing it.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Well, so he was supposedly a White House correspondent, supposed
- 1:20Speaker 1: to be a journalist. He was never a journalist.
- 1:22Speaker 3: He was antagonist. He was a left tour Yeah, he's
- 1:25Speaker 3: all that. This is how he he has his new podcast.
- 1:29Speaker 3: This is how he introduced this. Oh okay, so listen,
- 1:32Speaker 3: he said, well, I'm back here at the scene of
- 1:35Speaker 3: the crime. This is where, yeah, this is where Donald Trump.
- 1:38Speaker 3: He don't even say President Trump because it just makes
- 1:40Speaker 3: a point not to be reverent towards our president journalists.
- 1:44Speaker 3: This is where. This is where Donald Trump is tearing
- 1:47Speaker 3: down part of the East wing of the White House
- 1:49Speaker 3: so he can build a massive, gaudy, gilded ballroom to
- 1:51Speaker 3: the tune of two hundred and fifty million dollars. Okay,
- 1:54Speaker 3: So what I love is then you have people like
- 1:56Speaker 3: Jesse Waters who flashed back to see an end during
- 2:00Speaker 3: the Obama years, and they're so excited. You hear the
- 2:02Speaker 3: jack hammers? Do you hear that? Do you see the rubble?
- 2:05Speaker 3: This is just a proof that we are moving forward
- 2:08Speaker 3: and we're going to have you know, renovations here. And
- 2:11Speaker 3: it was during the recession. They didn't have a problem
- 2:13Speaker 3: with it, but I saw something there so real quick.
- 2:16Speaker 1: So when Barack Obama tears up part of the White
- 2:18Speaker 1: House to put it in a basketball court and Wi
- 2:20Speaker 1: Fi and spends four hundred million dollars doing that, that's
- 2:23Speaker 1: a good thing. When Donald Trump tears down the East Wing,
- 2:27Speaker 1: which is not part of the historic residence, but tears
- 2:29Speaker 1: down the East Wing to create a bigger, better ballroom,
- 2:33Speaker 1: and he's using private donations to do it, that's a
- 2:35Speaker 1: bad thing.
- 2:36Speaker 3: I was terrible. And guess what those same people and
- 2:39Speaker 3: the presidents that come behind him, they able to utilize
- 2:42Speaker 3: that ballroom over and over and over again. The fact
- 2:45Speaker 3: that Hakeem Jeffries wants to now use tax payer money
- 2:49Speaker 3: to open up an investigation to find out who's funding this,
- 2:53Speaker 3: this privately funded thing, is very telling and it's going
- 2:58Speaker 3: to be interesting to see when he is invited to
- 3:00Speaker 3: the ball roy. I want to know who's going to go,
- 3:02Speaker 3: because they will when the next president and the next
- 3:04Speaker 3: Democrat president that they have elected, they will use it
- 3:07Speaker 3: because it was needed as a venue. It's a place
- 3:09Speaker 3: that they can have there because right now they put
- 3:11Speaker 3: tents out they have Yeah, that's kind of yeah. So
- 3:14Speaker 3: the weather, you know, depending on the whether they said
- 3:17Speaker 3: this is one of those much needed.
- 3:18Speaker 1: In fact, you get fordn heads of state coming to
- 3:21Speaker 1: the United States of America and in order to have
- 3:24Speaker 1: a gala for the Prime Minister of Italy, yes, right,
- 3:30Speaker 1: we have to put tents out on the White House
- 3:33Speaker 1: Law because we don't have enough room for a head
- 3:36Speaker 1: of state. How does that make the United States look
- 3:39Speaker 1: when we're propping up polls in the middle of the
- 3:41Speaker 1: White House Law.
- 3:42Speaker 3: This is how Trump plays chess to their checkers. He
- 3:46Speaker 3: also has said many times that he is going around
- 3:51Speaker 3: the world to palaces, to these rich other nations, and
- 3:55Speaker 3: when he gets there, there's gold, there's palaces, there's when
- 3:58Speaker 3: they come to a mayor, he's presenting something. He wants
- 4:03Speaker 3: them to see strength, he wants them to see beauty
- 4:05Speaker 3: because that's what they're used to. So when they come
- 4:07Speaker 3: and they see the tents set out so they can
- 4:09Speaker 3: eat under the tents in case it rains or it's
- 4:11Speaker 3: too sunny or whatever, he is he's making it presentable.
- 4:15Speaker 3: And everybody knows I was going to go down the list,
- 4:17Speaker 3: but everybody knows what other presidents have done.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Well, that's true, right, because you have the basketball court
- 4:23Speaker 1: by Barack Obama.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Here's the list. Let me read it us. Teddy Roosevelt
- 4:27Speaker 3: built the West wing. Taft made the Executive Oval office
- 4:30Speaker 3: FDR out of the entire East wing, including an indoor
- 4:33Speaker 3: pool for himself. Truman gutted the entire White House. In fact,
- 4:37Speaker 3: Truman lived in the Blair House while this was being done.
- 4:40Speaker 3: During his administration, Nixon added the bowling alley, Obama added
- 4:44Speaker 3: a basketball court, and you say the WiFi, and Trump's
- 4:46Speaker 3: building a ballroom. So I don't know. The problem is
- 4:49Speaker 3: what was interesting was listening to Chelsea Clinton. Did y'all
- 4:53Speaker 3: see what she okay? So she says what was dismantled
- 4:57Speaker 3: today isn't just marble or plaster. It is a reflection
- 5:01Speaker 3: of how easily history can be erased when power forgets purpose.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But that's the purpose of the East Wing is to
- 5:07Speaker 1: us to be a place where the White House can
- 5:10Speaker 1: welcome in foreign heads a state. His building the ballroom
- 5:13Speaker 1: on the east Wing is the right place to do it.
- 5:15Speaker 1: He didn't tear down the West Wing, where the executive
- 5:17Speaker 1: offices are.
- 5:18Speaker 3: And this is also where she needs to take a seat.
- 5:21Speaker 3: She has forgotten that her parents are the ones that
- 5:23Speaker 3: took two hundred thousand dollars worth of china, flatware, TV,
- 5:27Speaker 3: rug sofas, and then and even more than that when
- 5:30Speaker 3: they left, and they only paid back about eighty six
- 5:32Speaker 3: thousand and gave some of the furnishings back. She needs
- 5:34Speaker 3: to sit this one out. Her mom also oversaw the
- 5:37Speaker 3: restoration of the Blue Room, the East room, the butler's
- 5:41Speaker 3: pantry that she had converted into the kitchen for family meals.
- 5:44Speaker 1: And what her father did in the oval office. We
- 5:45Speaker 1: can't talk about it.
- 5:46Speaker 3: That's I wasn't even going to mention that you like.
