But again, there's been renovations throughout the history of the White House for years.

There have been many presidents who have made changes or modifications.

you know, updating the White House for modern appliances, modern security endeavors.

I mean, one thing that I found really interesting about the ballroom is that the president said it's going to have, I believe, a steel-proof ceiling.

So a lot of different security measures that are being put in that he said the Army and the military is involved with.

So it's really interesting on many levels.

One thing that I find really interesting is that the man who is designing the ballroom is actually someone that I know, that I've spent some time with, James McCreery, who's an architect.

He's a Catholic architect.

He's built some really beautiful churches around the country.

So I think that's, if anything, very encouraging to know that we have a traditional classical architecturist who is taking this plan into his hands and making a beautiful historic ballroom.

And I, for one, hope that if there is a White House Christmas party for the media this year, it would be really cool if it was in there, and I would love to see it.

Yeah, this is interesting because on the one hand, these No Kings protests were largely full of, I would say, elderly Americans who are very left-leaning Democrats protesting things that they did not really understand.

So, for example, our colleagues Amber Jo and Brecca did a phenomenal job this weekend covering the No Kings protests in D.C.,

And they asked people, why are you protesting no kings if President Trump is not a king?

It was a really great video, and if anyone hasn't seen it, you should check it out.

But at the same time, there was a very radical element of these protests.

And if you look at some of the footage in Denver, in Chicago,

In Los Angeles, even in Washington, D.C., there were individuals that came to these protests specifically to advocate for violence.

One person that I noticed, besides President Trump, that was receiving a lot of these very violent, explicit calls to violence was Stephen Miller.

So he is Trump's deputy chief of staff.
