Senator Fetterman admitted he never really understood President Trump’s push for the White House ballroom — until after last night. FETTERMAN: “I never really had a strong opinion on the ballroom, to be honest.” “But but this clearly demonstrated, you know, how difficult it is to move around there.”... show more

![Even Bill Maher’s liberal audience is now APPLAUDING after he says Trump’s ballroom plans actually make sense. John Fetterman was two tables away from the latest assassination attempt, and he says he saw the “entire line of succession” flashing before his eyes. FETTERMAN: “I don’t care about the ballroom.” MAHER: “I don’t either. Yeah. I mean, it’s like so stupid. It’s such a Rorschach test of whether you just hate. We saw with the assassination attempt a couple of weeks ago. America probably does need [it]… This is America and we don’t want people sitting in tents to have dinner.” FETTERMAN: “I was two tables away at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner. I witnessed this.” MAHER: “Two tables from the attempt, you mean?” FETTERMAN: “Yeah. I had to see that. Like the entire line of succession was right there and realized that we’ve put, there’s real danger there. We got really lucky there, for a lot of reasons. We need to have a more secure place to do these kinds of events.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2052949116804591834/amplify_video_thumb/2052949033686114304/img/NmX2lNPbnVqz9aqa.jpg)
![WATCH: Trump's full answer on the federal judge's ruling about the East Wing ballroom construction... .New York Post’s Steven Nelson: “A judge just ordered you to stop construction of the ballroom. Are you planning to stop?” President Trump: “Well, we’ll appeal, but it’s not — I don’t know — it’s basically — I mean, I wrote [sic] — I wrote [sic] wrote part of his opinion. But basically he’s saying I need congressional approval. And he's so wrong. This is being financed privately. It’s a donation that's being given by companies, very rich companies, very rich people, so that, for 150 years, they’ve wanted a ballroom here. We’re going to have the finest ballroom, I believe, anywhere in the world. And he said we need congressional approval. Well, they don’t give congressional approval from the White House when they do things — they don’t — especially when, you know, we didn't ask for any tax money. We have no taxes — this is taxpayer free. We have no taxpayer putting up $0.10 and I see right here. Just write it out. He said we need congressional approval. Well, we've many things at the White House over the years and they don't get congressional approval when they build it in the White House. It’s just totally separate, especially when it's a donation. I mean, the ballroom is a donation. It's gotten great reviews. People love it. And presidents for 150 years have wanted this ballroom to be built because what we have president Xi or other presidents or prime minister is coming, we don’t have a big room. We have the East Room, which is very small and he said we need congressional approval. He also said, but this is positive for us — I'm allowed — meaning we — are allowed to continue building necessary to — let's see — what is that to — safety and security of the White House and its grounds. So, it says here very carefully the safety and security have to be protected in the White House grounds. Well, that’s what we’re doing because everything's bulletproof glass and center and center, including the ballroom and it goes, construction and all of the things necessary, it says, personal safety of the President and his staff are a part of that. So, it talks about that we’re allowed to continue building. In other words, he put an order on and — even that, he gave 14 days. We don't need it. Because that's what we're doing. He’s allowed to continue building as necessary and when it talks about the safety and security of the White House and its grounds. So, just — so, you know, I wrote some of the things we a drone proof roof and it talks about the president and its staff. Well, we don’t have a lot of bulletproof glass. The White House was built a long time ago. This has the highest level of — in fact, they call this graph — this grass — this — the glass — it's been a bulletproof and its ballistic prove. It's very thick. It’s like that. And it's going 45 feet high and every window is covered, every door is covered. The roof is drone-proof. We have secure air handling systems. You know, bad things happen in the air if you have bad people. We have bio defense all over. We have a secure telecommunications and communications all over. We have bomb shelters that we're building. We have a hospital and very major medical facilities that we’re building. We have all of these things. So, that's called I'm allowed to continue building as necessary. So, think of that — for the safety of the President ---- so we have all these things. So, on that, we’re okay. Where he's totally wrong and he made in a statement, that's fine, but we're really — I’ll give you an example. You have right here, $300 to 400 million depending on finishes. If I use very expensive, marble, if I use very expensive wall coatings, if I — I could bring it up to 400. Otherwise, we're right now ahead of schedule, we’re under budget. But depending on finishes from $300 to 400 million are being given by great people — people that you all know — rich people, companies, big companies, they wanted to see this bill because every president literally for 150 years as needed a space like this. Many of you have got to that tent when we have president of a big country or somebody being honored of great distinction. And they said in a tent. And, if it rains, you get so because the grass gets wet here very fast. It's a very wet area. They used to call it a wetland, But I guess don't do that from the White House, but it's essentially a wetland. And when it rains, you're in trouble. the water can go up to 3 to 4 inches over their shoes. That's not a good feeling for prince — what — who was Prince Charles, who will — who will be here next couple of weeks — is King Charles, who’s a great guy. We don't want him to sit in a pool of water and they've been wanting this for 100 — think of it — 150 years and we’re building it and it’s covered perfectly. What's not covered perfectly is the fact that the judge said we need congressional approval. Many things have built in the White House. They haven’t gotten congressional approval, especially when the money is being not put up by the taxpayer. The taxpayers aren’t putting up a dime. This building was necessary for many years by the fact that I've many ballrooms and I’ve built many things that I know how to build. I’m not building the Federal Reserve where the guy’s spending $4 billion for a tiny little building — $4 billion for the federal reserve building. That contractor’s going to be one of the richest men anywhere in the world after he finishes the Federal Reserve. The man is totally incompetent. Jerome “Too Late” Powell is totally incompetent. And he’s got to get out of office pretty fast. He's doing a bad job, but he’s also done a bad job in shepherding the construction in that building. You know, they ripped down the part of that building and it was a nice — they say it’s one of the nicest buildings in Washington. They ripped it down. So — so, we feel and we don't feel, we know that congressional approval is not necessary to put up a ballroom and with many things they’ve built on the site they never got congressional approval especially with the money is all put up — this is all donations by people that love our country that love the White House and that feel it was very necessary.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2039104631247176154/amplify_video_thumb/2039104445158486016/img/pRnDfm3Glnh65_1t.jpg)
