[00:00:13] PRESIDENT ABOVE-GROUND PORTION OF THE BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION
[00:00:16] PROJECT, IT WAS THE SUPREME
[00:00:17] COURT WEIGHING IN YESTERDAY
[00:00:21] ALLOWING IT ON A TEMPORARY BASIS
[00:00:23] TO GO FORWARD.
[00:00:26] "U.S.A. TODAY" SAID IT WAS THE COURT THAT SAID THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T HAVE TO STOP
[00:00:29] CONSTRUCTION ON HIS $400 MILLION
[00:00:32] WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM ROOM WHILE
[00:00:34] JUSTICES DECIDE WHETHER A JUDGE
[00:00:37] WRONGLY PAUSED THE PROJECT. CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS
[00:00:40] PREVENTED THE JUDGE'S ORDER FROM GOING INTO EFFECT SCHEDULED
[00:00:43] AUGUST 21 GIVING THE JUSTICES MORE TIME TO CONSIDER THE
[00:00:47] PRESIDENT'S APPEALING OF THE RULING IN RESPONSE TO A
[00:00:50] CHALLENGE FROM THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION.
[00:00:54] A FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGE RULED THIS SPRING THAT ONLY UNDERGROUND WORK ON BOMB
[00:00:57] SHELTERS AND OTHER SECURITY RELATED COMPONENTS COULD MOVE
[00:01:00] FORWARD FOR NOW UNLESS THE PRESIDENT GETS APPROVAL FROM CONGRESS.
[00:01:03] IT WAS THE NATIONAL TRUST FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION THAT TOLD
[00:01:06] THE JUSTICES THE PROJECT WOULD LIKELY BECOME IRREVERSIBLE
[00:01:10] UNLESS IT STOPPED. JUSTICES SAID IN ITS APPEAL THAT THE CONSTRUCTION WHICH INCLUDES
[00:01:14] AN UNDERGROUND SECURITY COMPLEX
[00:01:16] IS 55% COMPLETE. AND IS PASS POINT WHERE MAJOR
[00:01:19] CHANGE TO DESIGN ARE FEASIBLE. TOOK PLACE ON THE SUPREME COURT
[00:01:23] PORTION YESTERDAY.
[00:01:25] IT WAS THE PRESIDENT TRAVELING
[00:01:28] TO SOUTH CAROLINA TO CAMPAIGN BY SENATOR DARLINE GRAHAM AND DURING THE EVENT YOU CAN STILL
[00:01:32] SEE ON C-SPAN HE MENTIONED NOT ONLY THE BALL ROOM PROJECT BUT
[00:01:36] THE SUPREME COURT'S ACTIONS HERE'S THE PRESIDENT FROM YESTERDAY ON THAT.
[00:01:40] TRUMP: WE JUST LEARNED THAT THE
[00:01:44] BIG DECISION OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT CAME DOWN
[00:01:47] AND THE MILITARY/BALL ROOM IS
[00:01:53] BEAUTIFUL. MAGNIFICENT COMPLEX. BEING BUILT ON THE HALLOWED
[00:01:57] GROUNDS OF OUR CHERISHED WHITE
[00:02:00] HOUSE, WHICH IS SO VITAL FOR NATIONAL SECURITY WILL BE IT
[00:02:04] WILL BE THE GREATEST OF ITS KIND
[00:02:07] ANYWHERE THAT'S EVER BEEN BUILT AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT
[00:02:09] PRESIDENTS WANTED TO BE BUILT FOR OVER 150 YEARS.
[00:02:12] WE HAVE A TINY ROOM NOW IT'S
[00:02:14] BEEN THAT WAY FOR YEARS.
[00:02:18] IT CALL EAST RECENTLY SEATS 88 PEOPLE.
[00:02:21] AND AS AN EXAMPLE IN TWO WEEKS, PRESIDENT XI OF CHINA IS COMING
[00:02:25] AND I WISH WE HAD A BALL ROOM.
[00:02:27] BUT IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IN
[00:02:29] A YEAR FROM NOW, YOU'LL HAVE ONE
[00:02:32] OF THE GREATEST ANYWHERE IN THE
[00:02:34] WORLD, AND THE MILITARY IS BEING
[00:02:37] TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE OF THE MILITARY COMPONENT FOR DRONES
[00:02:41] AND FOR MISSILES AND FOR BULLET-PROOF GLASS AND ALL OF
[00:02:44] THE THINGS YOU'VE NEEDED THE MILITARY WANTED THIS DONE 100
[00:02:47] YEARS AND PRESIDENTS WANTED IT
[00:02:49] DONE FOR 150 YEARS SO I JUST
[00:02:54] WANT TO THANKING THE SUPREME
[00:02:55] COURT AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND
[00:02:59] WE HAVE A RULING THAT PROCEED
[00:03:04] WHEN THEY SAY PROCEED I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING.
[00:03:08] NOTHING IS EASY TODAY. AND CONSTRUCTION IS UNDER BUDGET
[00:03:11] AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
[00:03:13] UNDER BUDGET AND AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

[00:04:23] BEGIN WITH THE BALL ROOM.
[00:04:25] AND THE ILLEGITIMATE SUPREME COURT.
[00:04:29] THEY USED TO PASS OUT RULINGS BY
[00:04:31] LAW AND BY PRECEDENT.

[00:04:53] CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION I HAVE EVER SEEN.
[00:04:55] I'M 75 YEARS OLD.
[00:04:58] I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT THE
[00:05:01] REPUBLICANS WAS A RACIST PARTY
[00:05:03] AND A CROOKED PARTY.
[00:05:07] AND IT ONLY TOOK TRUMP TO PUT US IN OFF THE WHOLE THING.
[00:05:11] HOST: WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE BALL ROOM THAT BOTHERS YOU THE MOST
[00:05:14] >> IT IS TOO BIG, TOO UGLY.
[00:05:18] AND IT COSTS TOO MUCH.
[00:05:20] WE AS AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD
[00:05:24] GROCERIES, GAS, HEALTH INSURANCE.
[00:05:27] AND HE IS OUT HERE SPENDING OUR
[00:05:29] MONEY JUST LIKE IT'S WATER THROUGH HIS FINGERS.
[00:05:33] THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, HE DID IN
[00:05:36] THE, AND BESIDES, THAT PART OF
[00:05:40] THE WHITE HOUSE WAS HISTORIC. HE HAD NO BUSINESS TEARING IT DOWN, IT'S NOT HIS HOUSE, IT'S
[00:05:45] OUR HOUSE. HOST: LINDA IN MISSISSIPPI.
[00:05:48] WITH THE BALL ROOM IS HER TOP STORY.
[00:05:51] LET'S HEAR FROM PAUL IN FLORIDA. REPUBLICAN LINE AGAIN SAME THING WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICAL NEWS.
[00:05:55] WHAT RISES TO THE TOP FOR YOU, PAUL
[00:05:58] >> WELL, I'M SURPRISED I HAVEN'T
[00:06:02] HEARD ANYTHING ON YOUR NETWORK ABOUT MICHIGAN AND THE SECRETARY
[00:06:05] OF STATE AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERING THESE ILLEGALS INTO
[00:06:09] VOTING THEY CAN MOVE AND GET REGISTERED AGAIN AUTOMATICALLY
[00:06:12] AND A SHERIFF HAD A WHISTLE BLOWER FROM THE MICHIGAN
[00:06:16] SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE THAT REPORTED ALL THIS.
[00:06:18] AND I HEAR NOTHING BUT CRICKETS FROM THE DEMOCRATS ON THIS AND
[00:06:22] I'M SURPRISED. BUT AS FAR AS THE BALL ROOM FROM
[00:06:26] LAST CALLER, I'D ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY THAT'S NOT COSTING THE
[00:06:30] TAXPAYER ONE RED CENT.
[00:06:31] THAT'S ALL DONATIONS AND MONEY
[00:06:35] COMING OUT OF MR. TRUMP POCKET. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S POCKET.
[00:06:39] BEST PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD IN THE HISTORY OF OF THIS COUNTRY.
[00:06:42] THANK YOU FOR TAKING MY CALL. HOST: THAT'S PAUL THERE.
[00:06:46] BALL ROOM HIS CHOICE AGAIN, YOU
[00:06:48] CAN TALK ABOUT THE BALL ROOM OR OTHER THINGS WHEN IT COMES TO

[00:06:56] POLITICALLY LET'S TRY
[00:06:58] CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS LINE AND A HELLO. GUEST: HELLO.
[00:07:02] I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE ALL OF
[00:07:05] THE BILLING AND COMMOTION GOING ON IN THE BALL ROOM AND THE
[00:07:09] BUILDING UNDER THE BALL ROOM. WHAT BUILDING CODES ARE THEY
[00:07:13] USING TO DO THIS? EVERY WORKER CHOSEN TO WORK I
[00:07:17] THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE A
[00:07:20] BACKGROUND SOME KIND OF SECURITY
[00:07:26] BACKGROUND CHECK. WE KNOW THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS
[00:07:29] AGAINST EVERYBODY IN THE USA,
[00:07:31] AND EVERY DAY DISTRACTIONS HE GIVE US.
[00:07:33] AND I SHOULD BE ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN THAT BUILDING.
[00:07:36] WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S PLANNING FOR
[00:07:40] THE FUTURE WHEN HE LEAVES.
[00:07:42] I MEAN, WHAT REVENGE.
[00:07:47] TO SATISFY PUTIN AND NORTH KOREA. WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE WORKERS.
[00:07:51] ARE THEY CITIZENS? IS THERE QUALITY CONTROL BEING DONE ON THE WORK?
[00:07:54] ARE THEY FAITHFUL OR LOYAL TO
[00:07:57] DONALD TRUMP?
[00:08:00] MEANING WHO IS CHECKING TO SEE
[00:08:03] IF SOPHISTICATED BOMBS ARE BEING
[00:08:04] PLANTED UNDER THE BUILDING.
[00:08:10] THAT CAN BE ACTIVATED BY REMOTE
[00:08:13] CONTROL OR A DRONE WAS ALL OF
[00:08:17] THOSE FIBER OPT CABLES, WHEN
[00:08:19] THEY LEAVE THE OFFICE HE WILL
[00:08:24] PARDON HIMSELF SOME PEOPLE ON
[00:08:25] THE SUPREME COURT AND EVERYTHING
[00:08:28] IN THE FUTURE THAT HE DOES. HOST: ANNA IN CONNECTICUT.
[00:08:32] LET'S TRY JAY IN ALABAMA REPUBLICAN LINE.
[00:08:35] TOP STORY OF THE WEEK.
[00:08:38] GUEST: GOOD MORNING.
[00:08:39] TOP STORY OF THE WEEK.
[00:08:43] TAKE THIS CALL FOR THE MONTH MY
[00:08:45] INPUT AS A FORUM AMERICAN
[00:08:47] CITIZEN TO SAY THERE'S TOO MUCH CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS
[00:08:50] OF OF THIS COUNTRY.
[00:08:51] SPECIFICALLY WITH CORPORATIONS.
[00:08:55] I WANT TO MENTION ONE AND IT'S
[00:08:56] CALL MONIS AN TOE, IT CAME INTO
[00:09:01] ACCOUNT IN ANNISTON ALABAMA AND RUINED IT.
[00:09:03] THERE'S A GREAT VIDEO ON THE
[00:09:06] INTERNET GOING TO THIS AND IT RUINED, DESTROYED IT POISON THE
[00:09:10] RIVER, POND, FISH, KILLED PEOPLE. CAME INTO THE TOWN AND BOUGHT UP
[00:09:13] PEOPLE IN FACTORY IS STILL HERE
[00:09:16] THE PLANT IS STILL HERE.
[00:09:18] AND THEY JUST OPERATE WITH IMMUNITY.
[00:09:21] THEY WERE AT THE WHITE HOUSE NOT TOO LONG AGO WITH TRUMP. THE COMPANY TAKEN OVER
[00:09:25] EVERYTHING TAKEN OVER FARMS,
[00:09:28] PROBABLY PUT MOST FARMS OUT OF BUSINESS WITH THEIR SUICIDE
[00:09:31] SEEDS, YOU KNOW, THEIR ROUND-UP,
[00:09:34] I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT.
[00:09:37] IT'S POINT I WANT TO MAKE IS WHY IN THIS COUNTRY IS IS THIS LOUD?
[00:09:41] THIS HARMED PEOPLE. HURTING PEOPLE.
[00:09:44] IF I AN AMERICAN CITIZEN PUT CHEMICALS IN THE STREAM I'M SURE
[00:09:48] I WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. BUT THESE COMPANIES ARE
[00:09:51] INSULATED BECAUSE I THINK WHAT'S GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY IS THERE'S GROUPS THAT OWN OF THIS COUNTRY.
[00:09:55] I THINK THERE'S DEEPLY IMBEDDED GROUPS.
[00:09:58] I THINK THAT WE GO ALONG WITH THE GAME.
[00:10:01] WE HAVE A GOVERNMENT LIKE A COLONY A SHOW LIKE THIS AND
[00:10:04] VOICE MY OPINION BUT THERE'S REALLY NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT.
[00:10:07] I THINK THAT IT'S TOTALLY OUT OF OUR HAND, I THINK WE CAN VOTE
[00:10:11] OUR WAY OUT OF THIS IF MACHINES
[00:10:16] WERE PROPER, BASICALLY READ THAT
[00:10:18] PUT THAT MONSANTO IS A HORRIBLE COMPANY. SHOULDN'T OPERATE.
[00:10:21] HOST: SOME OF YOU CONTRIBUTING BY FACEBOOK THIS MORNING, THIS
[00:10:24] IS STEVE HEAD HENDRICK FROM

[00:10:35] DEMOCRATIC SOCIAL OF ITS OF AMERICAN, SOUL CAMPAIGN TRAGEDY
[00:10:40] IS LABEL ANYONE OPPOSING THEM
[00:10:42] EVIL AND WAITING FOR DEMOCRATS
[00:10:44] TO OFFER PLANS OR PROMISE
[00:10:47] ANYTHING THAT CAN ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
[00:10:50] SALLY SCHWARTZ FROM FACEBOOK SAYING THAT SHE IS TIRED OF THE
[00:10:54] PRESIDENT AND TALKING ABOUT HIS PET PROJECTS AND NOT ABOUT
[00:10:58] FIXING THE ECONOMY. HE PUTS ON BLINDERS FROM THE

[00:11:21] ALSO BRINGING UP IN THE SAME SENTENCE COMMENTS ABOUT THE
[00:11:23] PRESIDENT'S AID THAT'S BEEN IN

[00:11:28] HERE IS SENATOR AUSOFF.
[00:11:32] >> WHILE THE SAILORS ON THE
[00:11:35] LINCOLN FIGHT HIS WAR, WHILE HE
[00:11:39] FRUITLESSLY DRAINS OUR MUNITIONS
[00:11:43] AND OIL RESERVES, THE PRESIDENT SLEEPS THROUGH HIS MEETINGS.
[00:11:46] HE GOLFS AND TRADES STOCKS.
[00:11:50] HE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THE JOB. HE WANTS TO BUILD HIS BALL ROOM
[00:11:53] AND TRAVELS WITH FDALY ON THEIR
[00:11:59] APPARENTLY DEFENSELESS FLYING PALACE GIFTED BY QATAR.

[00:20:16] LET'S GO TO KATHY IN MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS LINE.
[00:20:20] OLIVIA: GOOD MORNING, PEDRO,
[00:20:23] GOOD MORNING, C-SPAN.
[00:20:27] I'D LIKE TO SPEAK ABOUT MY
[00:20:30] SUPPORT FOR ABDUL SAY AD FOR
[00:20:39] REPLACING SENATOR PETERS AND I
[00:20:41] THINK THAT HE WILL MAKE A GREAT
[00:20:44] SENATOR BECAUSE HE SUPPORTS ALL THE PEOPLE.
[00:20:47] HE'S NOT A DISCRIMINATORY PERSON.
[00:20:49] HE'S FOR MEDICARE FOR ALL.
[00:20:54] WHICH I SUPPORT. HAVING WORKED IN MEDICINE CLOSE
[00:20:57] TO 40 YEARS NOW, I KNOW THAT IT
[00:21:05] IS A STRUGGLE FOR PEOPLE TO RECEIVE HEALTHCARE WHO DON'T HAVE INSURANCE.
[00:21:08] AND IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE.
[00:21:13] IT'S TIME TO STOP THE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE.
[00:21:17] THE GROSS DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH
[00:21:19] TOWARDS A VERY SMALL PORTION OF
[00:21:23] THE POPULATION IN THIS COUNTRY AND I HOPE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
[00:21:27] IN MICHIGAN GETS BEHIND THIS GENTLEMAN AND SUPPORTS HIM.
[00:21:30] HOST: YOU THINK THAT HE HAS A
[00:21:33] STRONG CHANCE AGAINST MIKE ROGERS. CALLER: YES, I DO.
[00:21:37] I CAN TELL YOU THE COST OF
[00:21:45] HOUSING HERE IN NORTHERN
[00:21:47] MICHIGAN IN PARTICULAR, IS PRO
[00:21:51] HIS BODITIVE FOR MOST YOUNG
[00:21:52] PEOPLE THE AVERAGE COST OF A
[00:21:55] HOUSE WHERE I LIVE IS $441,000.
[00:21:58] THAT'S OUT OF THE REACH FOR PROBABLY 80% OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE
[00:22:02] HERE. AND THAT IS WRONG.
[00:22:04] IT'S NOT HOW I GREW UP IN FLINT
[00:22:10] MICHIGAN. MY PARENT SECOND HOUSE WAS 14,000 DOLLARS.
[00:22:13] I KNOW THAT WAS 1963 BUT NEVERTHELESS, THINGS SKY ROCKETED.
[00:22:17] THE COST OF GAS, THE COST OF
[00:22:25] FOOD, THE COST OF UTILITIES.
[00:22:29] THE IT'S CORPORATE AGREED AND NOT A HEALTHY SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT.
[00:22:32] VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS.
[00:22:36] HOST: THERE IN MICHIGAN THE WEBSITE BRIDGE MICHIGAN
[00:22:39] HIGHLIGHTS THE RACE BETWEEN MIKE
[00:22:41] RELIGIONS AND ABDUL SAY AD.

[00:22:49] MICHIGAN SENATE RACE TO THE CALLER'S POINT, ECONOMY AND

[00:22:57] COST OF LIVING IN MICHIGAN AND
[00:23:00] NATIONALLY SKY ROCKETED DRIVEN BY INFLATION AND ECONOMIC
[00:23:03] VOLATILITY AND THE JOB MARKET IS
[00:23:07] TIGHT ADDING MEASURE'S MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD LAGS.
[00:23:12] HIGHER COSTS OF GROCERIES, RENT CHILD CARE AND MORE.

[00:23:18] CLOSE TO C-SPAN FOR OUR COVERAGE OF EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING NOT
[00:23:21] ONLY THE MICHIGAN SENATE RACE BUT MANY RACES ACROSS THE UNITED
[00:23:25] STATES WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY DETERMINE THE POWERS THAT WILL CONTROL THE HOUSE AND SENATE

[00:24:11] IMPORTANT WHEN IT COMES TO THE STORY.
[00:24:14] CALLER: WELL, STANDING OVER HERE
[00:24:17] IN ARLINGTON, I THOUGHT IT WAS
[00:24:20] GOOD TO SEE A BIPARTISAN RESPONSE, IT'S BEEN DIVISIVE.
[00:24:23] SO IT'S SEPARATED THINGS BUT THE
[00:24:25] FACT BOTH SIDES ARE FOCUSED ON
[00:24:29] ONE KIND OF TECHNICAL FISCAL AND
[00:24:32] HUMAN LEVEL ISSUE ESPECIALLY
[00:24:35] WITH VETERANS ACTIVE DUTY. IT'S JUST GOING TO KEEP US
[00:24:39] CENTERED ON SOMETHING. HOST: A HEADLINE FROM

[00:25:14] FORTRESS TO PROTECT HIMSELF. HOST: WHAT LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE
[00:25:19] THAT? . CALLER: BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING GOING ON.

[00:25:35] AND WHOEVER ELSE WILL BE ALLOWED
[00:25:44] INTO THE WHITE HOUSE IT'S A
[00:25:47] CONTINUATION OF THE INSURRECTION. THE PRESIDENT TOLD US WHAT HE WANTS TO DO.
[00:25:50] GO THERE, BE STRONG, STAND BACK.
[00:25:54] STAY READY. IT'S A COMPLETION OF THE
[00:25:56] INSURRECTION AND IF WE ALLOWED
[00:26:00] THIS TO HAPPEN BEFORE 2026, THERE'S NOTHING WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO WITH THIS PRESIDENT.

[00:27:09] AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE RIDE
[00:27:10] THROUGH THE EL, SAY AD AND ALL
[00:27:14] THE RIDICULOUS STORIES. OF THIS COUNTRY IS GREAT BECAUSE
[00:27:16] PEOPLE GET OUT THERE AND THEY
[00:27:20] WORK. THEY GET WHAT THEY EARN.
[00:27:23] AND OF THIS COUNTRY SHOULD
[00:27:26] NEVER, EVER BE A SOCIALIST COUNTRY.
[00:27:29] IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD WHEN I SAW THIS ON TV TODAY.
[00:27:32] SO MANY RIDICULOUS THINGS GOING ON.
[00:27:35] THIS IS AMERICA, AMERICA FIRST.
[00:27:37] NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER OR NOT I SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP. I CAN SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP'S
[00:27:41] POLICIES THAT DOESN'T MEAN I GOT TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP.
[00:27:45] AND THAT'S THE LESSON THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO LEARN, ANYTHING
[00:27:48] EVER BEEN GIVEN TO ME I HAD TO
[00:27:50] WORK FOR.
[00:27:53] NO ONE GAVE ME ANYTHING.
[00:27:55] LAST CALLER, THE WHITE HOUSE A
[00:27:58] FORTRESS, PEOPLE SWALLOW THINGS
[00:27:59] LIKE THAT?

[00:28:13] THANKS FOR CALLING.
[00:28:17] . CALLER: MY STORY IS THE BALL ROOM.
[00:28:21] TO ME IT'S A DESECRATION BY A
[00:28:26] PERSON TO WHOM NOTHING IS SACRED.
[00:28:29] IT'S GOT ONE OVER ON US BUT HE
[00:28:30] CAN GET ALL THE MONUMENTS TO
[00:28:35] HIMSELF THAT HE CAN.
[00:28:37] BUT WHEN ASKED IS THE PRESIDENT
[00:28:39] -- IS A DISGRACE, IT WILL ALL HAVE TO COME DOWN.

[00:29:20] ILLINOIS IS NEXT, DEMOCRATS
[00:29:24] LINE. CALLER: GOOD MORNING.
[00:29:25] MY ISSUE IS GOING TO BE AN ECHO
[00:29:28] OF WHAT THE PERSON FROM ALABAMA
[00:29:32] TALKED ABOUT WITH MONSANTO.
[00:29:35] I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM HERE IN ILLINOIS I DON'T THINK I DO BUT
[00:29:39] I CAN'T SEE HOW THESE COMPANIES
[00:29:41] CAN GET AWAY WITH CREATING
[00:29:44] PRODUCTS THAT ARE SO HARMFUL TO
[00:29:49] OUR BODIES. THINGS THAT THINK BACK TO THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY AND WHAT THEY
[00:29:52] DID TO MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.
[00:29:55] AND I RECENTLY HAD A DOPPLER ON
[00:29:59] MY ARTERIES.
[00:30:01] I HAVE VERY CLEAN ARTERIES
[00:30:04] BECAUSE I NEVER SMOKED. I FEEL FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO WENT
[00:30:08] THROUGH THE PROBLEMS IN MONSANTO, BUT IT'S NOT JUST
[00:30:12] MONSANTO, IT'S MANY PLACES
[00:30:14] THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY WHERE
[00:30:17] WE'RE ALLOWING CORPORATIONS TO
[00:30:20] GET AWAY WITH CREATING BAD
[00:30:25] WATER, BAD AIR, AND THERE'S NO
[00:30:30] THE ONES WHO WILL SUFFER, NO OTHER PLACES TO GO BUT LIVE IN
[00:30:34] THE CONTAMINATED AREA. I JUST REMEMBER LOVE CANAL, AND
[00:30:37] I JUST -- IT BREAKS MY HEART
[00:30:40] BECAUSE WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL
[00:30:46] COUNTRY BUT IT'S BEING DESTROYED
[00:30:47] BY CORPORATIONS WHO DON'T CARE
[00:30:52] ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
[00:30:56] THANKS. HOST: MICHAEL IN PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN LINE.
[00:30:59] CALLER: THANK YOU, FOR TAKING MY
[00:31:01] CALL AND THANKS FOR C-SPAN.
[00:31:03] IT'S A GREAT ADDITION TO OUR
[00:31:11] DEMOCRACY. I HAVE SOME, I REALLY WANT TO
[00:31:14] ECHO THE SENTIMENTS THE FELLOW
[00:31:17] FROM NEW YORK BASICALLY ABOUT
[00:31:20] THE -- THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING
[00:31:23] WHAT -- TRUMP IS DOING WHAT
[00:31:26] GEORGE WASHINGTON TRIED TO DO.
[00:31:32] I'M READING A BOOK BY JOE ELLIS
[00:31:35] WHO IS IT'S CALLED THE CORE TET
[00:31:41] ABOUT THE FOUNDING OF OUR
[00:31:46] COUNTRY, WASHINGTON, HAMILTON
[00:31:49] JOHN J AND JAMES MADISON CAME
[00:31:51] TOGETHER WHEN NOBODY IN THIS
[00:31:53] COUNTRY COULD AGREE UPON A CONSTITUTION.
[00:31:57] THEY WERE SO FAR APART AND THEY
[00:32:00] INTENDED THE ARTICLES OF
[00:32:04] CONFEDERATATION WERE SO WERE
[00:32:08] WEAK. EVERYBODY WE DIDN'T BACK TO EACH STATE AND WANTED TO RUN THEIR
[00:32:12] OWN COUNTRY. THESE FELLOWS AMONG OTHERS
[00:32:15] REALIZED THAT WE NEEDED TO HAVE
[00:32:18] A COHESIVE COUNTRY, AND IN IT TOGETHER.
[00:32:20] SO THEY -- INSISTED WE NEEDED TO
[00:32:25] HAVE A FRAMEWORK FOR A
[00:32:28] GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD UNITE ALL
[00:32:34] OF THESE STATES, AND TODAY YOU
[00:32:38] CAN SEE HOW ALL THE THESE STATES
[00:32:41] ARE COMPLETELY DIS UNITED FROM HAVING SANCTUARY CITIES, THEY
[00:32:44] WANT TO HAVE THEIR OWN LAWS
[00:32:47] REGARDING THE BORDER, REGARDING
[00:32:51] WARS, REGARDING WHATEVER. REGARDING BALL ROOMS.
[00:32:54] I MEAN THE BALL ROOM IS A --
[00:32:57] IT'S AN EXECUTIVE BRANCH THAT IS
[00:33:02] DOING THINGS TO IMPROVE THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
[00:33:06] THEY HAVE THE PRESIDENT HAS AUTHORITY OVER THAT.
[00:33:09] AS THEY DO -- IN EVERY
[00:33:17] ADMINISTRATION, WHERE THE
[00:33:20] PRESIDENT CAN DECIDE WHAT'S NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ENHANCE THE
[00:33:24] FEDERAL BRANCH. IT'S SOMETHING SAID OVER THE GENERATIONS.
[00:33:26] WE NEED A BALL ROOM. PEOPLE CAN MEET.
[00:33:30] PEOPLE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES CAN
[00:33:34] COME TOGETHER, MEET SAFELY.
[00:33:36] HOST: IN PENNSYLVANIA, LLOYD, ON FACEBOOK SAYING ANOTHER ONE THE
[00:33:41] SUPREME COURT ALLOWING THE PRESIDENT TO CONTINUE
[00:33:44] CONSTRUCTION OF HIS BE CONTROVERSIAL WHITE HOUSE BALL ROOM PROJECT AND FINISHES HIS
[00:33:48] POST WITH THE WORD WINNING. AGAIN, THE BALL ROOM IS UP FOR
[00:33:51] GRABS WHEN IT COMES TO THE TOPIC
[00:33:54] YOU MAY WANT TO ALSO TALK ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT DEBT.
[00:33:58] A NEW
