Welcome back to the To the Contrary podcast and YouTube video. I am Charlie Sykes. Well, on Friday, we did not get the full Epstein files. What a, what a shock. Donald Trump has put his name on the Kennedy Center. It is now the Trump Kennedy Center. He's also installed this amazing Hall of Fame with new plaques in the White House. If you actually haven't heard the story, stick around.

If you think it's a parody, I am sorry to tell you, it is in fact really, it is real.

It is, yes, this is, in fact, real life.

And, of course, we continue to edge closer to war with Venezuela.

Stick around because we have a lot to talk about.

And joining me on today's podcast, our weekend podcast, our good friend, former Congressman Adam

Kinsinger, Adam, how are you today?

I'm great, buddy. How are you? Just awesome. Doing great. I love this time of year because

it's like the next week I usually cannot give a crap about politics. So I'm good.

the White House continues. The inshittification of the Kennedy Center continues. This guy wants

his name plastered on everything in the world except the Epstein files, right? That's the only

Yeah, exactly. He doesn't want his. He doesn't want his name on something.

Exactly. And it's amazing. Did you see, I think the, I don't know if there's only like one Democratic

commissioner on the board, something like that, but she said she kept trying to be recognized during

that vote. They would not, or she would start speaking and they would mute her.

And then they called the vote. She tried to say no, they wouldn't let her. And then they claimed it was unanimous. I mean, this is just, it's the kind of kangaroo court stuff that's happening. And, you know, it's, I think the thing that the kid, I mean, look, and this is not, it's, first off, it's not legal because it's a congressionally named thing.
