We're here to talk about Donald Trump, the Kennedy Center, the Kennedy Center awards, and musical theater. Because Sarah is our in-house musical theater buff, we made sure that she was on this program. Sarah, what's your favorite show?

You know, my favorites are ones that mix my most favorite two topics, which is politics and musical theater.

And so, you know, it's Avita. It's Hamilton. You know, I'm Les the French Revolution. Oh, my God. 1776. There's lots of good, there's lots of good political musicals, man. Fair enough. Well, you and Trump do have something uncommon, it appears, after all. Yeah, but his favorite musical is like cats. And L-A-Miz. Yeah, but L-A-Mis is a great show. He likes Phantom. He likes Phantom.

Are you fools asking me to do that?

Sir, you'll get much higher ratings.

I said, I don't care.

I'm President of the United States.

I won't do it.

They said, please.

And then Susie Well said to me, sir, I'll get a host.

I said, okay, Susie, I'll do it. That's the power she's got. But I just, so I have agreed to host, do you believe what I have to do? And I didn't want to do it, okay? They're going to say, he insisted. I did not insist. But I think it will be quite successful, quite successful. It's been a long time.

I used to host the apprentice finalies, and we did rather well with that.

It reminded me of that scene in Anchorman, where Ron Burgundy is at the jazz club,
