S4 E36 - White House Ballroom: How the Media Built Another False Crisis
Manage episode 516228152 series 3405437
When the British burned the White House in 1814, it was an act of war.
When Donald Trump builds a ballroom in 2025, it’s treated like one.
This episode of The Tenth Man dismantles the media hysteria over the so-called “White House demolition.”
You’ll hear how every administration has rebuilt, remodeled, or re-imagined that house — and why this one practical addition triggers so much panic.
We look at the double standards, the real-world need for a secure event hall, and the left’s strange obsession with controlling how other people spend their own money.
Because in Washington, outrage isn’t about architecture — it’s about ownership.
Listen now for common sense, history, and a little humor from The Tenth Man.
Commentary on trending issues brought to you with a moderate perspective.
