Part 7/12:
The transcript points out an inconsistency in how the government handles renovations to historic sites like the White House. Despite a law from the 1960s exempting the White House from certain review processes, major renovations continue. The Obama administration's renovation project in 2010 cost approximately $376 million, equivalent to over $559 million today after inflation. Taxpayers bore the brunt of these expenses, unlike recent renovations funded privately.
