Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump wanting a billion tax dollars for his ballroom.

I'm old enough to remember when Trump said, quote,

All of the money paid is paid by myself and donors.

It was at the end of March. Then he added, quote, there's not one dime of government money going into the ballroom.

Again, that was March. Then in April, Senator Lindsey Graham started pushing for you, not the billionaires, to pay for the billionaire ballroom.

He said, quote, by funding these necessary upgrades to the ballroom and the White House's security infrastructure,

President Trump and future presidents will be able to host large events

without having to leave the White House grounds.

Now, when I called it the billionaire ballroom,

I didn't know Senate Republicans would want to make it a billion dollar ballroom.

But the Senate judiciary text of the new Republican budget reconciliation package says,

quote, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, one billion dollars to

remain available until September 30, 2029, for the purposes

of security adjustments and upgrades, including within the perimeter fence of the White House

compound, to support enhancements by the United States Secret Service relating to the East Wing

Modernization Project, including above-ground and below-ground security features.

One billion dollars. The Dr. Evil billion-dollar ballroom for billionaires. There's not one dime of government money

going into the ballroom. This from the guy who thought cost overruns at the Fed were a problem.

This is coming from the administration that made cuts to snap, healthcare, fired thousands of vets, cut education funding,

and didn't approve disaster assistance requests.

A billion dollars.
