[00:00:01]  Trump's order, or I think it's an executive order to restore classical architecture, you know, I think that speaks to a certain instinct he has for people's hunger.
[00:00:12]  I mean, these are forms that have endured and survived for a reason and that maintain their beauty because they connect with the eternal.
[00:00:19]  I mean, there's a reason why brutalism goes out of date instantaneously, right?
[00:00:24]  It now looks so shabby and kind of old.
[00:00:28]  And those classical buildings still look as beautiful as ever.
[00:00:32]  Hopefully, we won't just copy and repeat what went before us, but if in fact Trump is able to get some of these building commissions in place, you might well see a kind of rebirth of the new classicism.
[00:00:48]  Certainly you're seeing it in writing.
