We've seen no indication that you personally are paying anything for this golden ballroom.
And you asked for a billion dollars.
And that's one of the things that you're frustrated about, is that that billion dollars is not in the reconciliation bill, because Republicans and Democrats are like, no.
Then he was asked a question that I find very telling also, which is, are you attending your son's wedding?
And listen to what he says to that question.
Let's play.
OK, so it's a small event, usually at a small family event.
The dad would be at the family.
You would be there.
And then he goes, I have something called Iran, but didn't you say that we won in Iran?
So what are you doing?
You say we control the Strait of Hormuz and everything's going great.
We've already won.
We've obliterated them.
You're using that as an excuse not to go to your own son's wedding?
Also, he said the fake news media would kill me if I went there.
I think it'd be the one thing that people would be like, yeah, it's your son's wedding.
Yeah, you show up for, I don't know, at least five minutes.
It's weird.
Then I understand what I think he was trying to say, but I'm not trying to make excuses for him because at the end of that, he basically said he's someone I've known for a long time.
