It's never been done. The ceilings are over 50 feet high.
That's like a five-story building.
I don't think there's any ballroom.
I doubt there's a ballroom in the country with a 50-foot
ceiling. You'll be able to have dinners
for as many people as you want. We had King Charles
here and we were very restricted.
He said, could we have about 350 of our people? He said,
we don't hold 350. We hold about 98. So having 350 is a little tough.
But we had President Xi of China and he left two weeks ago
and he was amazed when he looked at the structure.
He studied it with us.
And he also found the helipad done by you guys also indirectly.
But the helipad has been amazing. People, it's a great thing of beauty
when you fly over the White House and you see it.
In fact, it's so good. I never even got sued
because normally I get sued.
Don't build it. Don't build it. They sue me all the time.
And then we're doing the arc, the beautiful, like the Arc de Triomphe,
but better, more beautiful, actually, much more beautiful.
Essentially, we beautified Washington, D.C.
We had 83 monuments, statues, et cetera, right, Doug, 83.
We just opened up the reflecting pool
two days ago, and it's magnificent.
First time in, well, let's see, it opened in 1922,
and it never worked, ever worked.
It always leaked, but now it's not leaking.
We had vandals.
It did a lot of damage, actually.
Real, real scum.
We've got rid of the homeless encampments
where they took over all your parks.
And we're in the process of redoing all of the grass,
brand new grass, everything.
And so it will be graffiti.
You see that building right over there?
It had graffiti all over it.
It was a disgrace.
We got rid of it.
It's not easy to do.
You know, when you have limestone, especially,
it sort of sinks in a little bit more.
Not good, right?
When you have limestone, when you have granite, it's a lot easier.
But so this is a special structure.
It's going to be not only one of the biggest
but it'll be the most beautiful ballroom
I think anywhere in the world
and they've been trying to get it for 150 years and for
the media these are the people that built it.
