Summary
A federal judge has ruled against the Trump administration, ordering officials to remove Trump’s name from the building within two weeks. The administration must also get rid of all online references to the “Trump Kennedy Center.” The judge also ruled that while the center may move ahead with renovations, it must later decide whether or not to close down the center after the board “more fully considered the impact.”

| 0:10.4 | And as we get ready to start our weekend, a breaking story that the Kennedy Center is once again, |
| 0:17.7 | the Kennedy Center after a judge just shocked us all and ruled not only that it can't be |

| 0:59.9 | ruling. I don't know. A lot of people, Rose, when this happened, were saying, yes, it's going |

| 1:25.0 | he actually gave a deadline. |
| 1:27.4 | Two weeks. You got two weeks to take your |
| 1:31.1 | damn name off the building. The only way that could have been better is if he would have said I want |
