What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Trump is adding on these things as justifications for the ballroom. Trump really wants the ballroom. He likes big events. He likes big audiences. The bigger, the better. The more opportunities for Donald Trump to appear before an audience. So this is not about national security. This is about Donald Trump.
What is Trump's reaction to this court ruling that the ballroom, you know, is going to be stopped?
They've given him a stay of 14 days. So he's on the phone with the contractors yelling, faster, faster, faster. Get this done. We've got a deadline. Build. Build.
Michael.
Joanna.
Another Saturday. Where are we going? You
know, I'm pausing on that because I'm not sure I ever leave. So the idea of going in is... It's an uncertain place.
How is Trump reacting to the court’s stay on the White House ballroom project?
I am in Trump's head. I have been in Trump's head for more than 10 years now, which is extraordinary. That is the the I mean, and I suppose the entire world has been inside Trump's head in their own fashion. So the idea that we enter now is not true. It's that we have a we are acknowledging that that is the perspective that we all have. And the difference that we bring actually is that the journalistic perspective that we are looking in, that this is Trump is in the White House, we're outside the White House, and that is how we report on him, is inaccurate. First thing, you're not going to get the story if that's your point of view. And it's also not true. We all have, and Trump is not incorrect about this.
Why does Trump consider the ballroom essential for his political theater?
a Trump derangement syndrome. We have done. He has pulled us in to this syndrome and that is his actual political strength. You can't escape this guy.
Okay. So for anyone new joining us, Michael hasn't left. Trump's brain for the last 10 years where he's been writing about Donald Trump. I have started tiptoeing more recently into Trump's head with Michael as my guide. And well, we just have so much to get through today. Before we get to it, I just want to ask you to like and subscribe and please share this podcast with your friends. We're independent media, so we appreciate your support. We love your comments. We pour over your comments. And if you want to write a limerick, you
can. Joanna pours over your comments.
I do pour over the comments, actually. Michael goes in and out of the comments. And sometimes I send him comments.
I skim.
You skim. But you read books and you accuse me of skimming books. Anyway, anyway, we don't need to get into our endless ongoing feuds. But we do need to tell people that we're going to be talking about Anthony Fauci and Trump's and MAGA's sort of obsession with him. Why are they so hysterical? The Trojan ballroom, which it's really got layers and layers of other things going on in it. And of course, it's just been stopped. by the courts. Todd Blanche finally, finally got what he wanted, but at what cost. But I really want to start, Michael, with the fact that we should have an inside Trump's head workout. I think both you and I spend too much time at the computer and we should... We should, what is it called, license a workout for our listeners and viewers that they can do alongside us as we discuss the end.
Well, I
actually think it should be more rightly be a mental workout. How do you get Trump out of your head? Okay,
we can do that.
I know the workout that you're actually trying to get to. So let's rush
to the punchline. Let's get to it. Let's get to it. We're going to do a little workout together. Fox News, 9 p.m. My View on Saturday night. You guys are whipping everybody into shape at DHS. We are, and listen, the Coast Guard is leading the way. DHS will protect the homeland, right? Yeah. So we need to look intimidating because every single day we're going to work. There's not a day that we have a rest day. There's not a day that we have a peace day. Every day from the Coast Guard, ICE, CBP, our mission is to protect the homeland and there's always somebody trying to get in. What folks at home may not be aware of is that we didn't just have any instructor for the workout. The secretary was the instructor for the workout.
So you don't want to miss what we've got coming up this Saturday night.
