BILL HEMMER (ANCHOR): Obviously, we did't have to go far to find all that stuff. Hillary Clinton on X says, ‘It's not your house — it's not his house. It's your house. And he's destroying it.' There is her message. Tyrus.
TYRUS (GUEST): Well, it's not her house, either. Listen, I think the catch phrase is ‘tone deaf' after hearing The View. They just — doesn't matter what he does. He is not the first president to do this. Barack Obama put in basketball courts — no one cried about that. Somebody had a pool and somebody filled it in. It was Nixon — filled the pool in. So, this is not out of the spectrum of craziness. He's putting in a ballroom. Yes, it's a little weird the ballroom won't be finished for four and a half years. So, maybe during his third term he'll have the first inaugural ball. I hope to be there. I would wear a tux.
