Glenn Beck just returned from Washington, D.C., where he interviewed President Trump about his first 100 days in office.
One of the subjects they discussed was Trump’s Oval Office renovations, specifically the gold that’s been brought in. Since his inauguration, he’s added gold vermeil figurines, medallions, and decorative objects on the fireplace mantel, gold eagles on side tables, gilded Rococo mirrors above doors, and gold cherubs in pediments, among other accents.
Some have speculated that his redecoration symbolizes the golden age of America, which he’s promised to usher in. Others assume it’s hinting at economic policies, like a return to the gold standard.
But of course, the radical left is using Trump’s affinity for gold to bolster the "dictator" narrative.
“The sparkle conveys something more than insidious about how Trump views himself. Behold the new Sun King, the wannabe emperor who views his powers as absolute,” Glenn reads from a recent Washington Post article.
Or “he loves gold,” laughs Glenn, who can’t believe the lengths to which liberals will go to hold on to their "Trump’s a dictator" narrative.
“[Loving gold] is the thing he was most famous for before he was president,” adds co-host Stu Burguiere.
Further, unlike a dictator, Trump is “spending his own money” to make these upgrades.
The Post article also cited Trump’s decision to display paintings of former presidents as evidence that he’s aiming to be the Sun King.
“If you were a dictator, why would you put all of the other presidents?” Glenn aks.
When he spoke with President Trump during the interview about these renovations, the truth behind the gold and the paintings became evident.
He said to Glenn, “This is is the most important office in the world, and all of these people come from their big huge palaces and their big huge rooms of power that are gilded and have all of these paintings, all of the old trappings of power,” and “I want them to understand that this is the same kind of power, except it's a new power and a power beyond their understanding.”
“He is doing this to the Oval Office not to become a dictator, not to signal anything to America, but to signal something to all of the dignitaries that come into that office and sit in those chairs,” says Glenn. “That’s exactly what the Oval is supposed to do. … The whole point of that office is to project power to the world, not to the citizen.”
The Washington Post is “so full of bullcrap, I can't take it,” he lambastes. “He’s signaling to the world! You [Washington Post] people are so caught up in your own self-righteous, dim-witted, overeducated bullcrap that you can't get beyond yourself” to see that Trump is a master “negotiator.”
While Glenn can’t reveal everything he and President Trump discussed because of an NDA he signed, he promises that in the near future, we will see just how generous and how unlike a dictator our president really is.
“Every American should be grateful for what he is spending his money on and doing, and you will know more about that in the coming months. You will be shocked at some of the things that he is just saying, ‘I'm just going to write a check and do it.”’

DOGE isn’t dead — it’s growing beyond Elon Musk
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk’s decision to scale back his role at the Department of Government Efficiency sparked the media frenzy we all expected.
Corporate media outlets wasted no time celebrating. They’ve declared the project dead, mocking the effort that has — by every metric — cut bureaucratic waste, exposed entrenched fraud, and disrupted the comfortable routine of Washington’s permanent class.
We didn’t come this far just to hand victory back to the bureaucrats.
In just 100 days, Musk brought more transparency and urgency to federal operations than most “public servants” manage in a career. Under his leadership, the DOGE slashed bloated budgets, shut down globalist slush funds like USAID, and launched investigations into waste across the Departments of Education, Social Security, and more.
DOGE isn’t just a project. It’s a movement. And it didn’t start with Elon Musk — it started when the American people sent Donald J. Trump back to the White House with a mandate to finish the job.
Voters didn’t re-elect Trump just for tough talk. They sent him to dismantle the unaccountable, tax-dollar-burning administrative state that’s grown fat off politics as usual. And the DOGE delivered.
Now, Musk reducing his hours doesn’t mean the mission is over. Far from it. The next phase requires every agency leader who believes in reform, every state and local official who sees the model working, and every grassroots patriot who wants real accountability to step up.
Ignore the media narrative. CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the usual suspects are already spinning this as a defeat. They won’t say it out loud, but what they really hate is simple: Musk asked federal employees to justify their jobs.
He demanded answers. He forced Cabinet secretaries to make hard choices. That’s not chaos. That’s reform. And it scared the right people.
So now it’s up to us. Trump provided the mandate. Musk brought the firepower. The American people must now carry this momentum forward— to local government, to state agencies, and to every inch of federal bureaucracy still resisting change.
We didn’t come this far just to hand victory back to the bureaucrats. The real work is just beginning.
The Media Have A New Conspiracy Theory About Trump’s Interior Decorating
No, Trump's Oval Office decor-maxxing is not a dog-whistle for monarchy. It's actually on-brand, not just for Trump, but for America.Deep-staters rage as IRS, DHS consider working together to locate millions of illegal aliens
Deep-staters who yet remain in their federal positions are fuming as the Internal Revenue Service appears ready to partner with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other Department of Homeland Security officials to locate millions of illegal aliens living in the United States, according to multiple reports from the Washington Post.
According to the Washington Post, which spoke with at least six sources familiar with the matter, ICE has basic information on millions of illegal aliens living in the U.S. but wants help from the IRS to confirm that information. Though no formal agreement between the two agencies has been finalized, a draft of an agreement said that the IRS would assist ICE with information requests that:
- include names, addresses, and other identifying data of illegal aliens already issued a dated final deportation order; and
- come from DHS Sec. Kristi Noem or acting ICE director Todd Lyons.
While the sources admitted to the Post that federal agencies may share information about taxpayers under limited circumstances that often involve judicial approval, they still caterwauled about the allegedly unprecedented nature of this type of cooperation.
According to a March 22 article from the Post, "The proposed agreement has alarmed career officials at the IRS ... who worry that the arrangement risks abusing a narrow and seldom-used section of privacy law that's meant to help investigators build criminal cases, not enforce criminal penalties."
A follow-up article on Sunday described such IRS officials as "aghast" because DHS now plans to ramp up these information requests. While DHS officials initially indicated that they would seek to cross-reference with the IRS the information of some two million illegal aliens, they expect that number to rise to seven million eventually.
'Some undocumented workers obtain jobs by using fake or borrowed SSNs.'
For decades, the IRS has assured illegal aliens that filing taxes was safe and would not subject them to deportation. The sources who spoke with the Post view this new apparent partnership between the IRS and DHS as violating an understood promise.
"It is a complete betrayal of 30 years of the government telling immigrants to file their taxes," one unnamed IRS official told the outlet.
It also seems to be a sharp reversal from just a few weeks ago. In February, DHS asked the IRS to share the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of 700,000 or so immigrants suspected of living here illegally, but then-acting IRS commissioner Doug O’Donnell declined, claiming doing so would be unconstitutional.
O'Donnell resigned the next day. He was quickly replaced with Melanie Krause, who told her team she expects the IRS to cooperate with efforts from the Trump administration to enforce immigration laws.
"While we have nothing to share regarding any potential discussions, the United States Treasury is fully committed to supporting our partner agencies in executing the President’s America First agenda," a Treasury Department spokesperson told the Post.
Meanwhile, the legacy media continues to trumpet the alleged contributions illegal aliens make to the American economy — while minimizing some of the crimes they commit along the way. For instance, Reuters extolled the "nearly $97 billion in federal, state and local taxes" illegal aliens paid in 2022. The outlet also noted that some illegal aliens pay into social security without ever collecting benefits, implying they are either selfless philanthropists or victims of exploitation.
However, the outlet practically ignored the glaring identity theft problem associated with illegal aliens paying into social security, quickly stating only that "some undocumented workers obtain jobs by using fake or borrowed SSNs."
