Well, it's always tough when you have 1,000 rooms. It's a large hotel right on top, and so people come down and elevators and they're right over the top of where you're speaking and not very far away, and it's pretty tough. And you know, as you know, we're building a big beautiful, very, very secure ballroom in every way with a massive bulletproof class that's almost four inches thick.
The White House ballroom is facing legal hurdles. Even if it is built, it's not clear if the dinner could be held there. The annual event is private, Franco or Donas and Pira News.

There are ways that you could unscramble this omelet, but it would be extremely difficult and extremely complicated and have very serious consequences, and it would be a massive
headache for everyone involved. Over the next month, expect spicy testimony under oath from two of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley. For NPR News, I'm Rachel Myrow. This is NPR News.
