The MeidasTouch PodcastI don't want us to miss these connections staring us in the face, Donald Trump being terrified of protesters and what's going on with the East Wing demolition to make way for this golden ballroom since the East Wing stood above a bunker that was below ground meant to withstand a nuclear attack. We know that the bunker is now being renovated. I want to bring these connections together in a way that you're not going to hear anywhere else. So let's just bring these connections together, and I'll explain to you that there's much more than meets the surface in Donald Trump tearing down the East Wing of the White House to make way for a golden ball room, which he says he's now raised $350 million of funds from private individuals and corporations to build that golden ballroom. A lot of it has to do as well with the fact that they're renovating the bunker underneath. Now, CBS reported, and it was hidden in their reporting, like it wasn't prominently placed, that the military is rebuilding the bunker as well. I think that's important to note, especially as we look for historical models of authoritarians. Hitler rebuilt the Reich Chancelory to glorify himself.
Many are saying this could be the new Reich Chancellery right here, as Mark McDonald said, There's a bunker underneath the east wing of the White House. And by sheer coincidence, Adolf Hitler added on to the Reich Kanzli by building a ballroom above the Vorbunker in 1936, the area to the right. So Hitler said that he was doing the ballroom, but it was used to really build the bunker. So let me bring all of these connections together. And I'm going to show you video evidence as well, because you may remember a clip I showed you earlier in the week where Donald Trump said that the military was involved in the construction of the East Wing? That's odd. Why would the military be involved? Then do you remember there was another clip I played where Donald Trump said that a private individual to give $130 million to the military to help build things related to shortfalls? Why would a private individual be giving $130 million to the military? Trump the military is involved in the East Wing of the White House, the demolition and the building of this ballroom. And then it was originally supposed to cost $200 million, and now Trump says it costs $350 million.
So let's put these connections together. Let's do it logically, and I'll give you my opinion of what's going down, and you can give me your opinion, but let's focus on the data. So there was this article from Axios right here. Trump's run-in with DC protesters still haunt his team. This article talks about how last month, on September ninth, there was this incident at Joe's Seafood, restaurant in Washington, DC, right by the White House. Remember where Trump went there and said, I'm going to show you how safe these restaurants are. I'm going to show you how great DC is, because Trump's never been to a DC restaurant in his life. So he shows up to Joe's, and there are protesters from the organization Code Pink. They say that Donald Trump is committing a genocide. They start protesting him. They call him a killer. And the Secret Service really didn't do anything. I mean, those protesters got really close to him, and that's made Donald Trump really paranoid. How did they know that I was going to be here? Did somebody tip them off? It was supposed to be a secret trip. Now, the Code Pink protester saying they heard rumors that he was going to a restaurant nearby, and by process of elimination, they guessed that it was going to be Joe's.
It's a fancy restaurant, nice restaurant near the White House, so they assumed it was going to be that one. But Trump's getting incredibly paranoid about all of these protests, including the No King's protest, which he's now constantly saying, Oh, that was such a small event. It's the biggest protest in the history of the United States. Donald Trump, I think, sees that these protests are growing and growing and how unpopular it's getting from, which is why he wants a bunker for himself when he engages in further authoritarian acts. It's bunker boy. He wants to be in the bunker. Let me make these connections just to remind you, here are the protesters chanting at Trump at the restaurant at Joe's back on September ninth. Let me show you this clip. Let's play it. 3dc, 3 Palestine. Trump is the Hitler of our time. 3dc, 3 Palestine. Trump is the Hitler of our time. 3dc, 3 Palestine. Trump is the Hitler of our time. Now, here's another clip of a panicked Trump, and You'll see the protesters there. Then Trump asks for the protesters to be removed from Joe's on September ninth. You can see how terrified he is that they're there.
Let's play this clip right here. Trump is a Hitler on Let's go. Let's go. We know he's terrified of that. I'll show you a clip in a little bit where Donald Trump says that he'd like to see those protesters arrested. He thinks what they did is criminal. But now I want to move to the bunker underneath the ballroom. I want to talk about that. Over the past week, Donald Trump's held a number of press conferences that we covered. You may recall when Donald Trump, out of nowhere, when he was showing the designs, said the military is very much involved in the ballroom. Did that strike you as odd when he said that? It struck me as I needed to dig deeper and do this research, which I did, to then determine, the bunker underneath. That's what's really going on here. It's all about the bunker, which is actually called the presidential emergency operations center. More on that in a moment. Here's Donald Trump saying the military is very much involved in this. Let's play that clip right now.
We're also working with the military on it because they want to make sure everything's perfect, and the military is very much involved in this. They want to make sure everything is absolutely beautiful. You can see the interiors that we're talking about. That's an interior of the ballroom, and it's the highest level. You see, it goes beautifully with the White House. I mean, the mix is beautiful. Over the years, many presidents have made changes. This obviously would be the biggest change, but this was something they wanted for at least 150 years.
Okay, so you heard Donald Trump say this. Now, here he talks about how a friend of his called the other day and said they wanted to contribute $130 million that goes to the military. Now, I also want you to watch the face of Pete Hegsiff, Christie Noem, Pam Bondi, his chief of staff, Susan Wiles, as Donald Trump talks about this number that a friend gave him $130 million. So the ballroom was going to cost $200 million, which you said all private funds were going to pay for. We're going to be paid for by private funds. Now you're saying it's $3. 50, and a private donor is giving $130 million to the military? It sounds like you're trying to hide what that money is going to. But here, play this clip. In the next couple of days, a lot of Americans are going to go without their first full paychecks, federal workers.
By the way, a friend of mine, talking about donors, a friend of mine, a man that's great. I'm not going to use his name unless he lets me do it. As soon as he can tell you about this, but he called us the other day and he said, I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrats shutdown. I'd like to contribute, personally contribute any shortfall you have with the military because I love the military and I love the country, and any shortfall, if there's a shortfall, I'll contribute it. And today, he sent us a check for $130 million. Can you share who that is? I would love to tell you he doesn't really want the recognition, if you want to know the truth. But he gave us a check for $130 million, which was a shortfall. And that's going to go to the- Which was a shortfall, yeah. And it's going to go to the military, yeah. Is that the correct number? $130 $30 million. That's what I call a Patriot. Okay, thank you very much, everybody. Thank you, guys.

So Then I looked at this CBS article, which talks about how the cost of the Golden Bowl room, which was 200, now is 300 million, although Trump says he raised $350 million. When you read this In this article, what it says is the following, The bunker under the East Wing will also be upgraded, sources told CBS News. The White House military office is handling the renovation of the bunker, which is known as the President's Emergency Operations Center. So are the private donors paying for the bunker underneath where the East Wing once stood? Or is that coming out of taxpayer dollars? Even though Trump says that taxpayers are not paying anything? Sounds like taxpayers are paying, or that some rich donor is funding the bunker as Donald Trump gets more paranoid about these protesters. Let's talk briefly about the presidential emergency operations center. It was first constructed by FDR during World War II in the event the White House was targeted by missiles and rocket attacks. It was reinforced over a number of years thereafter to be able to withstand a nuclear attack purportedly. You see some photos here. It has its own air filtration systems and power systems, in case there were to be an attack.
Really, one of the first times we saw photos of the presidential emergency operations center was right during 9/11, when George W. Bush was taken away in the airplane and Dick Cheney and the George W. Bush cabinet was operating out of the presidential emergency operations center. You see these photos right here of it. That's what was underneath the East Wing. That's what's being renovated. That's what's being upgraded or changed right now. Now, you take a look at historical examples of authoritarians being paranoid at their own people with their authoritarian ambitions of staying in power forever. You need not look any further than Adolf Hitler. Hitler rebuilt the right chancellery to glorify himself. Seems like Trump is doing the same with the White House. In 1930s Berlin, it took Hitler six years to build a marble monument to his power. In 2025, Washington, Trump bulldozed the East Wing in days to erect a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, nearly twice the size of the White House itself. Hall. No reviews, no public input, no shame. Both men used architecture to project dominance, but Trump's monument to ego is rising in the very place meant to symbolize democracy. As George Conway posts, The New Reich Chance three, New Reich Chance three, and he shows what it looked like.
Berlin, 1939, the Reception Hall, the Main Dining Hall, the Entrance Office of the Führer with SS guards, the Office of the Führer. As Mark McDonald points out, historical lesson here is necessary. The bunker under the East Wing that's now being developed under the pretext of a ballroom is being built. Remember, Adolf Hitler added on to the Reich Kanzli by building a ballroom above the Wolle bunker in 1936, the area to the right. Hitler said, Ballroom, bunker underneath. Trump is saying, Focus on the ballroom As his ambitions are to not leave, I'm saying we should also be focused on the bunker underneath as well. That's why you bring these connections together with Trump being terrified of protesters, terrified of the no king's protests. I think what the ballroom signifies, both the fact that he's building a 90,000-square-foot ballroom, ripping down the east wing of the White House, is that he doesn't want to leave. You don't build a ballroom if you intend to leave your term. But he's also building the bunker, I think, as a way to deal with his paranoia that if the protests get too close, he's got a bunker where he's going to go into hiding.
Remember, we called him Bunker Boy during his first administration. So remember, going back to Trump being terrified of those protesters at Joe's Seafood Restaurant. On September 18th, Trump was asked about the woman that were protesting. Should they serve jail time for protesting Trump suggested that they should serve jail time. Here, play this clip right here. Mr. President, you said earlier this week that the women who yelled at you were protesting when you were a Joe Stone crab should be in jail. Do you actually think that that is an offense that deserves jail time?
I don't know how they got in there, but certainly, I thought it was very inappropriate. They said things that were very… It was a question of, would you take a look at the way they acted, the way they behaved? Yeah, I think they were a threat.
What's your thought?
Can you agree with it? I think they're a nasty organization.
But you think they deserve jail?
Well, I don't know.
And Trump has continuously been obsessed with the no-kings protester's and saying, It was a garbage weekend. The crowds were not big at all. In fact, the crowds were small. Who's making all of these signs for them? The signs look too good. They're too professional. Here, play this clip right here.
Even that The garbage deal they had this weekend, which was embarrassing to them, and the crowds were much more... The crowds were not big. Those crowds were not big at all. But when you look at signs, and they were all made beautifully, the yellow signs, I saw the yellows, the blues, but they were all made professionally in a printing shop. It looks like on Madison Avenue someplace. Some guy is paying for all that stuff.
I encourage you all, when there is a story, to dig deeper as well, to look beneath the surface, sometimes quite literally, and I think it becomes obvious. I think a question that needs to be asked by reporters right now as well is, are the This is how I'd ask the question, are the private donors also funding the renovation of the bunker underneath the East Wing? Or is that being paid for by taxpayer dollars? It's an important. Are we the people paying for the bunker to be rebuilt? Is that private donor who gave $130 million, did this individual pay for the bunker? Who is the type of private individual who we know pays that type of money? We know that the Adelsons have written him checks before to do things like that. Is it Bezos? Who is the individual who would write that check? Someone like a Musk, a Bezos, whoever. I mean, Zuckerberg. What's going on there? I think it's important that with this video, we frame the question. I think I've brought the connections together. Persuasively, I hope.
