Pres. Trump Signs Order to Designate The Oval Office & Cabinet Room as National Monuments - 11/05/26

Well, thank you very much. We have something that is of great interest to me, but it's of great interest to a lot of people. And it concerns the Oval Office and the Cabinet Room, very important spaces. And I'm going to be signing a document which will make them into a landmark for the ages. It won't be able to be. Taken down, destroyed, touched or anything else, it'll be—it's called actually a national monument. you very much. A country largely the modern, the country as we know it, the modern country and we certainly had some good years during my so far six years. And I just thought it was very important that nobody be allowed to come in and take it down and try and do something with it because every once in a while they'll look and they'll say, oh, maybe what we'll do is we'll put some glass up that's a little bit better or something. And I said, no, you're not going to do anything. We're going to leave this as it is. It's a it's a great landmark. And that goes for the Cabinet Room, too. And if you want, we can show you the Cabinet Room. It's been very upgraded and made really beautiful. I'm going to let you go into that in two seconds after we're finished with this. So with that being said, I think what we'll do is we'll sign the document. Yes, sir. This is a historic proclamation. It preserves this historic space for future generations. As you said, it's a symbol of the American presidency and American government. It's where American history is made, and today it will be preserved for the future. Very, very important place. Very amazing. The biggest people come through that door, or that door, or that door, a lot of doors, and they're in this room, and they can't believe it. We had The president of China recently, and then a couple of weeks before that, we had King Charles. And they both said, well, this is the Oval Office. So it's very important. Very important. The biggest people, every time they walk through those doors, they want to just examine it and look at it. You can never do that. You couldn't do that. You couldn't build a space that would have that kind of importance, the history of it. So we're going to be declaring it a national monument. And we're going to send it over to Congress to have it. It's ratified and the Oval Office was built in 1909 by President William Howard Taft. It's a long time ago and the current Oval Office is that it's really known today as it was slightly modified in 1934 for FDR, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, modified to make it a little bit easier for him. You understand that, what I mean by that? Including a ramping system outside that's amazing. And actually beautiful, so we've had a lot of victories in this office, almost, I mean there's been some mistakes too, but we've had tremendous victories in this office, so we're making it a national monument and it will not be allowed to be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people. in order to build something in a slightly different shape. We like the Oval Office and it's a symbol like the White House itself. It's a symbol of our country and the greatness of our country. So I'll sign that. And I think in theory that should end that problem. And if anyone ever decides to come and start knocking down walls, you'll call me wherever I may be and I will come back here and I will make sure it never happens, okay? Thank you very much. That's a good one, you know, that's good. It's important to have a good one for this, you know, very artistic. Okay, is that a nice signature? That's very nice. You can rate that one. It should be a 10, because this space is a 10. And we're going to open up, if you will, we're going to open up. This is the great Laura Ingram. Hello, Laura, why aren't you in here? She started out over here, now look at her, she's made so much money. She's a great person. We're going to let you see the cabinet room, too. It was very substantially upgraded. That also is becoming a federal monument, a national landmark, and that will make it, in theory, impossible to knock down change in any meaningful way. The walls will remain the same as they've been. The interior will be pretty much the same as it's been. We have put up brand new chandeliers. They had very bad lighting and very bad actually lanterns. They had lanterns inside. But the new chandeliers are... Beautiful. And the whole space is beautiful. It's been very substantially upgraded. So we're making them both, and there's a unit, a national landmark monument, you could call it. What do you want, Steve? Can any modifications be made? I mean, occasionally there's a need for... No major modification without the approval of Congress. So if they want to say, let's not have oval anymore, let's make it square. What happens is they have to go back to Congress and hopefully the Congress, the people in Congress will be smart enough not to let that happen. And that includes also the cabinet room. You know, just we've had great victories in these rooms and they're so important. I mean, I have people come in, the biggest business people, you know, their beautiful offices. They walk in here and they say, this is incredible. Not the beauty, it's the whole aura of the Oval Office and the cabinet room. And you'll see the cabinet room in a second if they open it up.
