BREAKING: INSANE legal update on Trump’s ballroom | Another Day

Republicans now want your tax dollars to. pay for Trump's ballroom because they. are the party of fiscal responsibility. This is just another day. >> [music]. >> After this weekend's harrowing events at. the White House Correspondents Dinner, the Trump administration has chosen to. use this moment of national unity to. focus on the people who could benefit. most from it. Themselves. Trump. administration also now pushing to. remove all legal obstacles to get the. new White House ballroom completed. The. Justice Department called on a historic.

preservation group to drop its lawsuit. that is slowing down construction. Yes, when it comes to taking action on things. not related to billionaire pedophiles, this DOJ sure knows how to act fast. Last Monday night, the Department of. Justice filed a motion demanding that a. federal judge dissolve the injunction. that was put in place in March after the. National Trust for Historic Preservation. sued to stop construction of the. ballroom arguing it requires. congressional approval. And I think we. all remember how Donald Trump reacted to. the news of that ruling.

Exactly. But it wasn't just the act of. this late-night motion, apologies for. the way that sounds, that made news. It. was something else that just didn't sit. right. Now, many people online were. quick to criticize how the motion was. written pointing out that it resembled. one of Trump's Truth Social post more. than an official legal filing. Well, I. highly doubt that. You see, the. Department of Justice has long been a. separate and distinct entity from the. White House. And if there's one.

administration that respects that. distance more than their predecessors, it is Donald Trump's. So, let's just. have a look at what these lefty libs are. whining about. One excerpt says, "Because it is Donald J. Trump, a highly. successful real estate developer who has. abilities others don't, especially those. who assume the office of the president, this frivolous and meritless lawsuit was. filed." The filing states, again, it's. called Trump Derangement Syndrome. Well, uh. look, I didn't go to law school. Maybe that's.

just how they teach you to write these. things. Tell you what, let's just take a. look at one more. The National Trust for. Historic Preservation is a beautiful. name, but even their name is fake. because when they add the words in the. United States to the National Trust for. Historic Preservation, it makes it sound. like a governmental agency, which it is. not. Hmm. Still sounds straight out of Harvard Law. to me. But besides the ass-kissing from. Trump's DOJ, there were some others in. DC who had a new take on Trump's. currently stunted ballroom. We're going. to introduce legislation.

that would authorize. $400 million to be spent to secure the. to build the presidential ballroom. We've paid for it by offsetting it with. custom fees. But the estimate is $332 million. We're. going to do $400 million cuz I think. it's probably going to take more. Private donations can be used, but I. think they should be used for buying. china and stuff like that. Sure, stuff like that. I mean, you got. to have the fine china. What are we,

just a bunch of dudes living in a frat. house? Don't answer that. Point is, nice. dishware is just one of those. got-to-haves, not like those other. frivolous things like health care, food. assistance, or cancer research. Stuff. that the Republican Party was happy to. not pay for. And for Lindsey, my. girlfriend lives in Canada, Graham, he. is sure that the American public is on. his side. I want to say, where is. America on this? I'll bet you 90% of the.

people would love to have a better. facility than the Hilton Hotel to make. sure this crap never happens again. I. can't tell you what to say on the Senate. floor, but I've never seen it like this. There are people out there just one. click away from picking up a gun or. something else. and and trying to make America better by. killing. You don't make America great by killing. people you don't like. Got it. According. to Senator Graham, if 90% of people in. our country want something, something. that will keep even just 1% safe from a.

crazed gunman, then it's worth doing. The overwhelming majority of Americans. support background checks for purchasing. a gun. Washington Post and ABC News. polling [music] from 2019 found that 89%. of Americans support expanding. background checks for private and gun. show sales. Whoa! 89% pretty darn close. to 90 if you ask me. I'm sure for a guy. like Lindsey whose party has been able. to look past so many of Donald Trump's. transgressions, he and his flock would.

be cool with letting one measly percent. slide to vote for that background check. bill. Right? HR 8, also known [music] as. the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of. 2021, was formulated nearly a decade ago. after the Sandy Hook Elementary School. shooting [music]. left 26 dead. It passed the House last. year. >> The bill has passed. >> But has since been [music] stalled in. the Senate due to a lack of Republican. support. >> Ah, stalled in the Senate. Well, whoever. works in that chamber must lie awake at. night rattled with guilt and shame.

Possibly for a multitude of reasons. Well, surely this Republican Party, these hawks of fiscal responsibility, will not sit idly by as Lindsey Graham. wastes millions of taxpayer dollars on a. lavish event space that has already been. paid for. >> Would you oppose taxpayer money being. paid for by the public? >> No, probably not either cuz it's it's. the White House. Other presidents have. done additions to the White House, too. I am working on legislation to ensure. that we are getting the ballroom funded. >> Gosh, I thought Lauren Boebert's hand. would have gotten tired by now, but I.

guess she's still got some energy to. jerk the American people around. Why the. are we even having this. conversation about $400. million when I recall someone saying. something about all of this being paid. for? Trump says the project is being. funded entirely by private donors. The. White House reportedly securing millions. from Lockheed Martin and Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Meta also. reportedly listed as potential donors. No government tell us no. You've been. You've been so generous in your. contributions. Uh.

very substantial money. Fully financed. It's fully taken care of now. And in fact, we'll have money left over. Oh, how nice. I assume that instead of. paying for anything our nation actually. needs, that bit of extra cash will go. into Trump's golden trinket fund. The. reality is Donald Trump telling the. American people that we're getting. something for free, only to find. themselves completely on the hook for. that thing, is not exactly what I would. call a new scenario. In fact, it's one. of the biggest hits, and he's been. playing it for years. We're going to. build the wall. We have no choice. We.

have no choice. And Mexico's going to. pay for the wall. And Mexico will pay. for the wall. >> WHO'S GOING TO PAY FOR THE WALL? 100%. THAT phrase was so popular and. catchy, it achieved call and response. status. It was the political equivalent. of asking, "Who lives in a pineapple. under the sea?". >> [music]. >> Exactly. The only problem is, unlike Mr. SquarePants, Trump's idea wasn't real. When you say Mexico's going to pay for.

the wall, you never expected that they. would write you a check. But during your. camp I don't expect When I say Mexico, excuse me. When I say Mexico's going to. pay for the wall, do you think they're. going to write a check for 20 billion or. 10 billion or 5 billion or 2 cents? No. They're paying for the wall in a great. trade deal. Trump said Mexico's going to. pay for the wall. They have in. roundabout way, have they not? Well, I. guess when I think about it in that. roundabout way, the answer is still no. Seeing as by the time Trump left his. first term in office, quite reluctantly,

if I recall, American taxpayers were. already on the hook for 15 billion. dollars toward constructing the wall. So, mental note, don't put Tom Homan in. charge of your finances. He'll probably. just tell you how in a roundabout way. Bugatti is paying you to drive their. car. But that border wall wasn't the only. thing we didn't have to pay for, but. eventually had to pay for. They're. giving us a free jet. I could say no, no, no, don't give us I want to pay you. a billion or 400 million or whatever it. is.

Or I could say thank you very much. I. could be a stupid person say, oh no, we. don't want a free plane. We give free. things that we'll take one, too. Yeah, what are you going to be a stupid. person? They're giving them away. It's. like a t-shirt cannon, but with a plane. What are you going to not put your hand. in the air to catch one? They're free. Some estimates put this retrofitting as. they call it to up to a billion dollars. So that the aircraft may be 400 million. dollars. It's going to cost a billion. dollars estimated. Because they have to.

strip it right down to the cables. Oh, so he was just off by a. billion dollars. Classic mistake. You. know, sometimes a restaurant will. advertise that kids eat free, when what. they meant to say was kids meals 1. billion dollars. I think it's pretty. clear now that Donald Trump never. intended for others to foot the bill for. his ballroom. Whether this comes to. light tomorrow or years from now, you. don't need a crystal ball to see that. we, the taxpayers, were always going to. be on the hook because he and his party.

do not care about people who are. struggling. They don't care if you're. worried about how you're going to pay. for health care, for groceries, or for. your rent. They only care about. providing for themselves. I want to say, where is America on this? What does it. matter? You'll just ignore them anyway. >> [music]. >> Before you go, I'm very excited to. announce that I've written a new book. titled The Day After: How to wield power. in a post-Trump world. The book explores. what is, in my opinion, the single most. important theme that we're dealing with.

in politics today and moving forward, power. Specifically, how Republicans. abuse it and how Democrats refuse to. wield it. This book explains how we got. here and more importantly how we should. finally wield power if we're lucky. enough to get it back. It is the. blueprint for progressives who want to. do far more than just restore the status. quo. Please pre-order today by following. the link on this screen.
