00:05:41.360 that'll hurt.
00:05:43.300 That will hurt.
00:05:44.440 I talk to Sid all the time about, because we've both been in trouble, Sid Rosenberg and myself, in the radio business.
00:05:53.180 And when you're on the outs, when you're down in that valley of your career hoping to hit another summit,
00:06:05.960 anything people say about you, it does sting.
00:06:09.520 It does sting.
00:06:11.520 I don't care what anyone tells you.
00:06:13.220 I don't care.
00:06:14.440 No, I don't care.
00:06:16.180 Oh, you care.
00:06:17.340 So Jack White apparently did care.
00:06:21.720 It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist because he fails to appreciate the, quite frankly,
00:06:28.380 disrespects the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of the People's House.
00:06:35.380 Here it is. 0.76

00:06:48.920 So they've been going back and forth on this thing.
00:06:52.380 I personally kind of like the White House, how Trump has done it up.
00:06:58.080 I mean, it's kind of the thing with the president.
00:07:00.960 They get in there.
00:07:02.580 He's not a fascist.
00:07:04.080 He's not a dictator, so he's not going to be there forever.
00:07:06.600 The 2028 hats and jokes are hilarious.
00:07:09.300 And I love how it gets people so upset.
00:07:13.300 He's going to try to run again.
00:07:15.380 He isn't.
00:07:17.520 Don't worry about it.
00:07:18.880 But it's a great joke, and he knows it upsets people, so that's why he does it.
00:07:24.100 But the different personalities that the Oval Office has had over the course of the years
00:07:30.180 is part of picking a new president and them having an influence not only on the country,
00:07:39.300 But on the Oval Office and the White House over the course of their tenure, it's always been that way. 0.98
00:07:47.340 Remember stupid Jackie, Jackie Kennedy, going around the White House, putting all her little things in? 0.99
00:07:56.020 They did a big interview with her, and she's walking around going, 1.00
00:07:58.360 Well, I decided this room should be blue.
00:08:03.100 She sounded drugged out.
00:08:05.220 Oh, it was great, though.
00:08:06.080 and that that's what we look for well personality trump loves gaudy and gold leaf
00:08:16.220 and it's not strippers up on the wall he's got patriots past presidents busts of world leaders
00:08:25.900 and civil rights leaders and and then someone else comes in and they could do what they want
00:08:32.500 that's how it works but again they hate it they hate anything this guy does they don't want him
