I would guess. Situation Room $5M. The Back or Operations Office/Room would be about $45M.
So what?
Do you want this country to remain a global power or not?
did you hear what he had to say? lol
@@yvonneplant9434 It's not, and hasn't been for a while
Waste of money
@@kendallevans4079 Wrong, we have the most powerful and advanced military and intel gathering of any nation. That power keeps the peace.
Yall heard 50 million and just didn’t listen to what he said after. It’s not just a conference room but a whole complex. There’s more to it that is in place to keep the president and his staff safe while in there.
Lol exactly. People hating on this. Who wouldn't want their government to have the best tech
Being ignorant on the internet intentionally is the new trend. If anything, $50 million is a bargain.
I wonder how much the new White House bunker deep under the North Lawn ended up costing. You know, the one the President would have to use if he can’t make it to the military bunker in Pennsylvania or the FEMA bunker on the Virginia/West Virginia border. The one that Ronald Kessler told the Washington Post of its existence.
@@darkchocolate3390 yes for the best tech nobody has access to, developed just for you, software made just for you, and the whole complex set up cost 50 million? thats a bargain for real. I am pretty sure you can do things in there that they aren't saying like breaking down firewalls hacking, satellite camera control you. know the stuff the pentagon got. its like a baby pentagon in there😂. they probably think its just tvs and fancy tables, computers on the watch floor, looking at RUclips and blog post on the watch floor and reporting to the president a hurricane about to hit Panama. nope alots of tech in there and super computers.
Given the amount of logistical and security-related work that would have been necessary to do this, $50 Million is a pretty good deal. Literally every nut, bolt, and screw that goes in a place like this has to be vetted and checked to ensure it’s not going to breach the security of the information discussed therein, to say nothing of being built in a bunker and designed to withstand some major damage and keep running. Like, this isn’t just some office conference room.
I thought Wolfe Blitzer was in the situation room.
the chairs looking nice
For 50 million, it should of had adjustable wheels and arm rests
they better be. they will be sitting there for hours depending on what threat they are looking at or dealing with. a 6 hour flight on the wrong airline is a problem😂 so dealing with a threat with your allies and negotiations over video conference for Hours they need comfort. last thing we need is people ending important meetings early that could change global events cause they cant sit still for too long and at their age. 19 year olds not in there. people can barely sit still at work. now they got monitors which twists, desks that move up and down so people can stand in their operation centers at work.
Looks really classy. I like it.
Whatever it cost, it was at least 5 times more than it should have cost, because that's how the government and their contractors do things in this country.
Corruption baby
For all you know it can survive a nuclear blast. Stop talking you make the world dumber.
Being one of the most powerful countries in the world, these renovations were long past due.
@2:55 The computers in The Situation Room & at the White House run Windows??? That was definitely not something I expected.
The version of Windows the US government run is not the same one available to the public.
Thank you for sharing.✌️
This is kind of the "CODE BLUE," room if you will. If you hear a "CODE BLUE," called in the hospital and you work there as a Nurse, Dr. Respiratory Therapist, whatever the case may be, It's NEVER good news. It's BAD, because a patient is dying!! If you hear a situation room call at like 03:00 AKA 3:00 A:M, IT IS A BAD THING!!! Your heart rate races, and you RUN, don't walk, you RUN to the situation room. I am involved in a company and we have a situation room, and if you get a call to the situation room in the wee hours, or late at night, IT IS BAD!! IT IS VERY VERY VERY BAD!! That's equal to a CODE BLUE call in the hospital!!! o, when I get a Discord or Text message saying "GET IN THE SITUATION ROOM," my heart rate sky rockets, and I RUN to the Situation Room. I drop whatever I'm doing, and good grief does my heart pound!!! Yes, this makes every Discord Ping sound to me like a very high priority alarm tone, and I hear those in my sleep, and I wake up checking my phone, and I've had periods where I hear Discord pings in my sleep and I look, and there's no ping notification, but good grief that's always scary!!! I've had some pretty terrifying situation room calls, and They're NOT FUN!! Now imagine a situation room in the White House, amplify that adrenaline you get X 1,000 and imagine that at 03:00 in the wee hours!!! THAT IS A VERY VERY BAD THING!!!
$50 million??? Can we get an itemized bill to see what exactly was upgraded? I always thought these kinda contracts go to the lowest bidder.
Well, he did say it is explicitly NOT just ONE room, but a whole complex. With all these other rooms and technologies considered, I do think $50m might not be that far of
I'm happy my taxes go to something like this. It's a complex series of rooms with some of the best technology in the world that needs to be safeguarded to the highest level.
@@SwagJaws Sounded like a Fed
Why? You don't get to know what's in there. Ever.
Hopefully it will help defeat anything Trump "shared" from the docs he kept.
@@danjoto7359Wtf do you think is under the WH? It's an entire complex under it...probably since the Cold War.
The book is truly incredible.
Did they add a changing room close?
Gotta have a cushy situation room when youre always out creating situations.
The Newly renovated Situation Room got a new threat Artificial Intelligent
I have hope and belief in the people that fill that room. The top advisors from every gov agency could make substantial change if desired. I still believe in this democracy. I'd say focus more on building infrastructure for the future. Plan ahead and try to make social program funding more cost effective.
Bot comment. Most decisions made in that room Killed Innocent civilians and wouldn't have been killed iF our Leaders cared about Morals and Dignity which ALL OF THEM DON'T
what democracy? USA 🇺🇸 is a Republic
Nothing about that is 50 million dollars unless some big contractor is in their back pocket
Remember they said that was just a room there a several other room plus there are a ton of classified things that weren't mentioned in the video.
I can see it maybe, but like the person above said, it’s somewhat possible, it’s not out of the realm of possibility but it is hard to believe.
This man doesn’t do construction, guys
How bad is your attention span that you didn't notice the fact that they mentioned the situation room being whole damn complex that runs 24/7 keeping up with events around the world?
It's not a diner table.
You arent allowed to see what actually cost 50 million. All you are seeing is one of many rooms
So I actually got to go in there the other day. It was smaller than they made it look in this. The conference room is beautiful. it was an honor to get to see it. I’ll also say the west wing is smaller than it looks on tv lol.
I'm sure they installed a button for Biden to order an Ice Cream Cone. 💀
50 million = 10 percent for the big guy and his friends
Very nice and necessary! Unfortunately, we will not get to see most of the abilities and technology. God bless America, God protect our military
Well looks like Trump will have an excellent place to hold meetings in the situation room
Ya like 35 trillion in debt and they decide to redecorate… and you jokers trying to make it sound sooooo important…
And send more billions to foreign governments and wars.
@@zekeb2888 donald trump added 7 trillion in debt in 4 years. Funny how you aren't upset about that?
Bro it’s just 50 million and the leather seems actually good
Afghanistan, Ukraine, Israel. The situation room and the white house complex as a whole is one of the most important places on this planet. This wasn't redecorating, it was a full overhaul of technology.
50 million doesn't do squat with 35 trillion in debt.
For all of DC is a sacred national monument, which servived a fire as bad as the Chicago fire, and from pantagon ,White House, museums of Smithsonian, Jefferson Lincoln, Washington monuments , grand train station, Capitol Hill and more, a national monument to neve be torn down and be rebuilt times over and renovated,etc
I guess he really wasn’t lying about the moldy tile ceiling.
The funni room is getting an upgrade 🎉
Where did they move the pack-a-punch machine?
Could you make the walls black too? I’m still feeling a hint of humanity left in the room.
Imagine being part of that team and Biden is leading the meeting, I just know everyone is internally rolling their eyes, what a joke lmfao.
So that’s where my tax dollars went
Yall need to sit in that room and discuss stimulus checks
No they don’t you need to get off your but and get a job I have 2full time jobs
get a job you bum
This man should be president. He sounds like Obama
I remember this room from black ops.
I wish they use those renovated money for American homeless instead.
Wtf?
Homeless people can get offf there ass get off drugs and get a job and work like the rest of us
So you want the government to pay for drugs?
Nah…Gavin gone take it all and put it in his personal non-profit organization
Man in my state, multiple organizations did surveys, and it shows more than half choose to be homeless. Why should that group get money when they choose to be homeless
Wait....something the govt does that I'm not completely at odds with. Cool room
At least Robin tried when I was in that hate crime detention
Nice combover
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊We have to do many good things ❤
Nice.
Thanks for renovating it for trump
Whoever it's for they need the best to make the best decisions. Unfortunately we've seen the kind he's made. Joe keeps us safe.
Not like Trump's ever left anything better than he found it
@3seven5seven1nine9 How’s that “you ain’t black” administration been working for you?
“This is where the President makes decisions…where he was with the Russian/Ukraine invasion…”
Well we all c how good of a job FJB is doing.
Nothing great i have a better confrence room in my office with natural light
Wow brand new high tech room to make decisions and they still make shitty or no decisions.
more like Biden's Nap Room lol.
And tRump's pants shitting room haha
He's a winner. You're a loser.
soo creativee
@@sehajpreetsingh6266 oh boo hoo, go complain somewhere else.
@@Punisher6791 stormy daniels had a situation with trump in that room 😉
🏠
Tax dollars well spent. Good lord it's no wonder his country is where it is.
Newly renovated, what are they expecting to use it more soon?
Why is it so dark? I’d want that room bright to stay alert and awake
It’s for Joe, he needs the best sleep until November.
Didn't you hear ?? He said "in this basement....."
@@iscrampad2194 😂😂
Any prolonged overstimulation of bright lighting makes for a tired brain relatively quickly, esp when under extreme stress. Hopefully the lighting inside is natural, to mimic natural daylight. President Biden needs this for his next 4 years of work 😊🇺🇸❤
@@iscrampad2194Ok, MAGAt.😂
I wonder if it would be used anytime soon 🤔 😂... I'm glad we didn't pay for it. Oh wait, we did 😂
It has already been used.
I wish 🙏 my son will become the President of United States of America in the future.
What does it say in the back made in China Taiwan Italy but a symbol in the US😂
They had to add handicap access for Biden
KY krna h Faisal k bta or Kya msalla ha
Make sure to check everything 4 bugs😊
olympus has fallen
Thanks for fixing it for trump
Harris Walz 2024
I wonder if maybe the coordination room were more neutrally trimmed it wouldn't feel like a submarines' fire room. And the room isn't usable for anti-terror. Empathic vampires are. I notice subtle rage. Just saying... find someone non-morelock to do this.
Did my tax dollars go for this
Yes. They took $6.66 from your taxes to build this.
Happy now?
Too bad everything Biden hears in that room he forgets 10 minutes later.
That’s not the real situation room
Imagine paying $50M to renovate a few office spaces. The walls are made of 18K Gold ? Emeralds and diamonds?
The walls are probably the world’s most powerful faraday cage now. I’m not surprised it cost $50 million, especially for the whole thing to be kept under wraps.
Are you willfully this ignorant? Are you aware of how secure this compound has to be in order for the president and his cabinet to gather there and discuss extremely classified, potentially world altering information and events? 50 million is cheap for this.
@@verbalkint4258 Please enlighten us, how secure must it be and what exactly makes that level of security cost $50 million?
One room $50 million? Give me a break.
The Situation Room is not just one “room” is a complex of offices and secured facilities.
@@mvelilla12 still seems over priced. 50 million will get you one hell of an office building.
@@EyedbythetigerNo. $50 million will not get a secure office building with real-time monitor capabilities and com-links.
The level of ignorance is astonishing. Did you even listen to what was said? It’s way more than just a room! Way much more complex than you’d comprehend.
@@abcdz1able like office furniture and servers?
Still lot of people think us is a world police, lmao
Which country has the same military projection capability and the economic might in the world to be that police?
Most people definitely don't, the US military presence around the world is still very large and widespread to help prevent or mitigate conflict between nations/regions/governments/etc. to help maintain stability in some very unstable regions that could break out into conflict and foster things like global terrorist organizations that want to attack the US and other nations. Just because the US isn't world policing as much doesn't mean they aren't still. You have no clue
@@tian_obiaso why should the us be world police . When they themselves don't obey the rule of law hypocrite.
@@FeranmiIdowu-ye1ew The US obeys the rule of law more than most countries. Thats largely why the US is more prosperous than almost all other countries. Gee I wonder why its the top in so many categories
50 Million to renovate one room
Did you Watch the video? Its a whole complex not just one room.
FJB WORST ADMINISTRATION EVER👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
You should pick up a history book if you actually think that bullshit
📱
This is so cool! ❤
Oh look everybody, there's Joe's diaper changing table!
He uses Biden as an example, then he says "diplomacy", "effective", "get up". I mean...😂
For people like you diplomacy is just Trumpy the traitor kissing Kim Jong-un & Putin 🍑
So this is about Israel not the new situation room
So sleepy Joe can sleep there, good
Somnus
50 Million? What a joke
National government
Jake needs to let the combover go. Just go bald, honestly it’s as bad as trumps combover
The situation room has caught up with Hollywood.
Do you guys see each other demons, in each others hair, when you talk to one another? Just curious...
This is the place where the biggest pots are being steered 😢🥱😣🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Vote Blue, we need to make sure Traitor Trump doesn’t step one foot in that room.
Well there's where some more of our tax dollars went
Rooom where war is decisions are made... rooom of blood
ARES
The room of shoe size iq's 😂
WEAK AND INEPT ROOM😂
What?
I guess that’s why Biden wants to raise the taxes
Inside the newly *bugged* White House Situation Room
Wasn’t it just renovated a few years ago? What did the add, a diaper genie for Biden?
Back in 2006 it was renovated. Basically think of using Windows Vista to run the country.
$50M!!! Fire all those people
OMG this is more than just that room! is the tech behind all of that !
Donald Trump spent $24 Million taxpayer 💰 for REFRIGERATORS for AF1.
they showing cuz a war comin
Just in time for Trump!
Даже думать смысла нету
all bottlenecked because of sleepy joe
Trump is gonna love it when he returns to the oval office 🫶🏻
Trashy room. Trashy news.
Just in time for Trump to get back
What stpd propaganda is this??
This is where George worked on the bimbo eruptions
50M $ for this is ridiculous, and I'm a generous progressive !!!
It's a whole complex with a complete technology overhaul. Didn't you listen to anything that was said? It was only 6:38 long. It's probably the most secure room in the world! $50million is a steal for that!
Nice for them to do that for Trump when he comes back
It's for the current and any future presidents. and plus Trump can't be president forever.
Where does Leo McGarry sit?!
They getting ready
You mean "They be getting ready."
By White House you surely mean in the basement of the Executive Office Building or the Treasury off ice building where most White House staff actually work???
